Pilotwings Resort review

Ever since a pigeon first pooped on a caveman’s shoulder mankind has been determined to fly. Nature on the other hand has always fought against the idea and very few human babies are born with wings as a result. Those that are usually don’t survive the wing removal process or end up being sold to a travelling freak show. With absolutely no help from the heavens we have had to build aeroplanes and helicopters to get us into the air, they do the job but you must admit that we still have a long way to go if we want...

uDraw Studio review

Nintendo consoles have certainly never been strangers to unusual attachments in the past and this tradition has carried well on into the 21st Century. Remember Rob the Robot, The Super Scope, The Gamecube Bongos and the Wii Balance Board? Is there anything that Nintendo cannot design to be plugged into the controller socket? Now it’s the turn of THQ to get in on the act and bring a new peripheral to the Wii, intrigued? So was I. You may have seen expensive drawing tablets for PC’s in the past and thought they were pretty cool. I mean just think about...

Shift 2 Unleashed review

When I put the Shift 2 disc into my Xbox 360 and drove around a couple of laps to let it judge how much assistance I needed I was expecting it to be a simulation. The good news is that it isn’t a game along the lines of Gran Turismo because I find them terribly dull to play. Instead, you get the feel of realism but also a very visceral experience as you jostle for position with your competitors round some very tough tracks. New to this game from Slightly Mad Studios is the helmet cam which not only puts...

Homefront review

What the world probably doesn’t need now is another FPS. However, they do seem to be popular so now it’s time for THQ to have a bash in 2011 with Homefront. Instead of playing through historic battles, this one gives us a ‘what if’ scenario set in 2027 with a unified Korea invading the United States and reducing it to rubble. Playing as one of the resistance it’s up to you to save the ones you love and fight your corner to make what little difference you can. I’ve already read a few other reviews of Homefront and I actually...

Super Street Fighter IV 3DS review

Super Street Fighter IV on the consoles is probably the best of the entire series and now it’s time for it to migrate to the 3DS and send everyone’s eyes wonky. As you’d expect it’s not in gorgeous HD but the graphics are fantastic and the 3D element works well without giving you too much motion sickness. They’ve even included the Dynamic Mode which looks at the 2D action from 45′ and really gives the game depth in 3D even though it’s a bit distracting for people used to fighting side-on. If you’re not familiar with the game, it’s pretty much...

Crysis 2 review

After playing through the somewhat tongue-in-cheek Bulletstorm, Crysis 2 comes as something of a culture shock as it’s the complete opposite. This is one very serious first-person shooter full of gravitas and without an ounce of humour. That’s not to say it’s not impressive though, because it is. Here’s my take on the single player action. Before I get to the story let me just say that this is one of the best looking FPSs I’ve ever played on a console. On the PS3 the game looks almost photo-realistic when your submarine is hit by a mysterious missile which floods...
