Magnetis review

What with the recession and none of us common people having any money apart from that on credit cards, the idea of low cost gaming should be appealing to all of us. Almost every current video game system from the Nintendo Wii right through to the Xbox 360 has a digital download store providing small games at a low price. I’ve already reviewed some excellent games from Nintendo’s WiiWare store that all cost less than $15 including: ColourZ – A precision based puzzle game for those with maximum dexterity, or three arms. Water Warfare – Probably the only first person...

Learning with the PooYoos Episode One review

Were you one of the lucky parents to be pressured into buying a Nintendo Wii for your oldest son or daughter a few Christmases ago? Have they given up with Wii Sports and left the Wii to be used by the youngest in the family whilst they experience all the fun that hormones deliver? Well fear not. The lovely white box of magic doesn’t have to be packed away just yet because your littlest kids can now experience some fun interactive learning from the comfort of their own home. Learning with the PooYoo’s is a cartoon-styled educational series for children...

Raven Squad review

In Raven Squad you play as two groups of mercs who land behind enemy lines to retrieve some data. Quite what that data is I can’t remember as this game bored me so much I almost fell into a coma. What they’ve tried to do is marry a first-person shooter with an RTS and the result is either a very poor FPS that’s sub-standard to nearly any other FPS I have ever played or an RTS so simple that you may as well be playing Cannon Fodder on the Amiga – actually go and play that because it’s better. In...

The Beatles Rock Band review

If you don’t like The Beatles you won’t enjoy this latest iteration of Rock Band. However, if you’re a massive fan or even know a little about them and think they’re pretty cool, you’re going to have a blast playing this. Chronicling their rise to fame from playing in Liverpool’s Cavern Club right through to playing on the rooftop of Apple Corps, this game provides a magical mystery tour of the Fab Four’s career with some beautifully crafted visuals and of course most of the classics you know and love. Playing the game is standard Rock Band apart from the...

Animal Crossing City Folk review

Yes this review comes a few months after release but considering Animal Crossing for Wii is another evergreen title from Nintendo; who’s to say that it’s too late to review Animal Crossing City Folk for Wii? Depending on how you look at it there have been three or four main games in the Animal Crossing series. This time on Wii Animal Crossing is a hybrid between the games seen previously on the Nintendo GameCube and Nintendo DS with a fair bit of new content thrown in for good measure. Life simulation games aren’t new and come in many different styles...
