Flower Sun and Rain DS review

Sumio is a ‘searcher’. He searches for things, that’s his job. He claims the word ‘lost’ isn’t in his vocabulary, which must make it difficult for him to write down his job description. However, even professional finding-guy Sumio has problems when he finds himself stuck with a massive list of missing items to find, a bomb to defuse and an endless temporal loop making the same day repeat itself, Groundhog Day-style, slowly driving him mad. Also, there’s a ghost in his hotel room. It can only be a weird Playstation 2 port of Flower Sun and Rain for DS. Flower,...

Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix review

Even though Street Fighter IV is almost upon us in February, and Street Fighter II has appeared to gamers in several forms over many platforms since its first release, Capcom have decided to release yet another version you can download over Xbox Live or from the PlayStation Network. This remixed edition not only provides an arcade perfect version of the game fighting fans know and love, but also a whole new remixed version with a complete makeover from Udon, the guys who currently make the Street Fighter comics. Not only that, but those familiar theme tunes have been given a...

Fable 2 review

I’ve never played the first Fable game so this review isn’t going to be about comparing the game to the old game. I’ve heard it’s very similar, only with better graphics and a dog, but I can’t judge that so on with the story. The game begins with yourself and your sister wandering around doing tasks for people. You then earn enough coins to buy a magical music box which, when activated, disappears in a puff of smoke. Unfortunately, this gets the attention of an unsavoury character with a big chin called Lucien who promptly shoots your sister and throws...

Need for Speed Undercover review

It’s almost the end of another year and each year seems to bring another version of the racing franchise Need For Speed. This new one sees you infiltrating a gang of street racers in order to uncover some organised crime and drug syndicates. Just how racing against them somehow leads to arrests isn’t quite clear. Still, it’s an excuse to race around the city streets and avoid the cops. Even though you’re on their side they don’t know that so there’s another excuse for some high-speed racing and a high probability of losing your no claims bonus. The game claims...

Siren Blood Curse review

If you’re a regular browser on the PlayStation Network, you’ll have noticed an episodic horror game available for download called Siren: Blood Curse. This is a re-versioning of the PS2 original and it tells the story of a number of characters including an American TV crew and a college student who have happened upon a forgotten island where strange rituals are taking place and what appear to be the walking dead called Shibito stagger around and hunt you down. In a departure from most survival horror games, the game makes you even more vulnerable than a character in Silent Hill....
