Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker review

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with the Metal Gear Solid series. The first game was the reason I bought a PlayStation, MGS2 conned me with the demo and then I wasn’t too happy when you only played the first missions as Snake, Snake Eater I thoroughly enjoyed and MGS4 was epic but felt more like a very long movie rather than a game. And so to Peace Walker on the PSP. The second game to come out on the handheld, this one tells the story of Big Boss trying to keep the peace in Costa Rica after the events...

Lego Harry Potter Years 1 to 4 review

Daniel Radcliffe’s acting has always been a bit plastic so thankfully Traveller’s Tales have decided to give Harry Potter the Lego treatment and what we get is probably one of the best games in the series. They’ve definitely learned a thing or two what with all the Star Wars games, Indiana Jones and Batman under their utility belt. Now it’s time to go into Hogwarts and use all the spells from the movie to move Lego blocks about as you build, destroy and hop about the levels. The first thing you’ll notice is how great everything looks. Lego’s not the...

Jett Rocket review

How would you react if I told you that an unofficial sequel or tribute to Super Mario Sunshine appeared on WiiWare for just 1000 Nintendo Points? Well get ready to react in that very manner because Jett Rocket for Wii is a 3D Platform Adventure game which takes great inspiration from Nintendo’s Gamecube classic. Before things get too silly I’ll point out right away; Jett Rocket is not as good a game than Sunshine – but that doesn’t mean it’s bad either, let’s find out more in this Jett Rocket WiiWare review. Jett Rocket is a peaceful ecological superhero who...

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 review

Another year sees another incarnation of what’s widely regarded as the definitive golf game featuring Tiger Woods. After his recent behaviour I really wasn’t sure whether this would see the light of day but here it is and I promise not to make any jokes about all the holes Tiger’s aiming for in this review. So, what’s new? Well, the main game mode is The Ryder Cup – how apt. This simulates the competition which happens every other year against Europe and the US and lets you play in teams against each other You can even play the thing online...

Singularity review

There seem to be two types of FPS available to play. There are the ones that try to take real world events and real weapons and make a statement, and there are the ones that are as mental as the Mad Hatter after he’s had a sharp blow to the head. Singularity falls into the second camp and after I tell you the story you’ll know why. Set on a Russian island called Katorga-12, you play as an American soldier who crash lands after an EMP downs your helicopter. Unfortunately for you it’s also the site of lots of experiments...

Alien Breed Impact review

Alien Breed: Evolution Episode One did not exactly set Xbox Live Arcade alight when it was released last year, but it did set a lot of aliens alight and that pleased some people at least. It was an enjoyable take on a classic game, but it had nowhere near enough publicity and a few too many flaws. Luckily, fans of the game were keen to let Team 17 know what they felt had gone wrong, and like all good developers, Team 17 listened. When the gong rang, summoning Alien Breed to PlayStation Network and Steam, they were ready. Alien Breed...
