De Blob

Here’s a new one for the Wii and DS out in February next year called de Blob, and before you ask no it’s not a French remake of the monster movie or Stephen King’s Carrie. This game’s perfect for Nintendo’s consoles as you control de Blob who like a sort of space hopper round the colourless world of Chroma City. All the colour’s been drained by the INKT corporation. Say it quickly and it sounds like inked, get it? It’s basically an action puzzle game as you swing and bounce your blob around the city whilst avoiding some nasties that...

Dragonball Z Goku Densetsu review

Here is my review of a brand new Dragonball Z game subtitled Goku Densetsu. Now if you’re used to these games on the consoles you’ll know that they’re usually over-the-top fighting game swhere you get to fly in the air and hit each other, and even smash planets on each other’s heads when you do a crazy super-move. This one’s nothing like that. Instead, it’s a glorified board game mixed up with top trumps and I’m not quite sure how I feel about it. The story’s pretty simple, if not far fetched. The world gets invaded by aliens and you...

Worms Open Warfare 2 review

I’ve got Worms. Urgh I hear you all say but you know what I’m talking about, not the ones that sit in your stomach or make your bum itch, I’m talking about Worms with weapons and attitude in Worms Open Warfare 2. The first game on the DS didn’t quite sit as well as it should have and I actually preferred the PSP version. Luckily, lots more thought has gone into this version so you’ll soon be throwing hand grenades, calling airstrikes and ninja roping your way round the levels in no time and loving every minute of it. As...

Army of Two

OK hands up if you like co-op mode in games such as Gears of War? I can’t see if you’ve actually got your hands up or not by I know I enjoyed co-op in Gears of War and that means I’ll probably like playing EA’s Army of Two as the whole game is based around this premise. Instead of co-op being a game mode in this one, it’s the actual game as you and a real life partner or adaptive AI soldier use two-man tactics in a third-person warzone to win the battles and make it out alive. The story’s...

Guilty Gear Judgement review

Todays review is Guilty Gear Judgement on the PSP and this one’s special because you actually get two games in one. You get the new side-scrolling Judgement game but also Guilty Gear X2 Reload which is your more traditional 2D one-on-one beat’em up. Let’s tackle judgement first. If you’ve ever played Final Fight, Double Dragon or Golden Axe you’ll know what to expect. You pick one of five characters from the Guity Gear universe and fight from left to right, with lots of enemies attacking you at once. Clear the screen and you’re told to GO to your right and...

Guitar Hero 2 review

It’s time to rock out with Guitar Hero 2. I know this one’s been out on the 360 for some months now but it’s still selling well and I’ve only just got hold of it due to a ‘guitar shortage’. The the neighbours can see and hear me doing all sorts of strange things in my lounge and this time I’m not going to get arrested for it. The premise is simple. You look at a fret board on screen as lots of coloured blobs that correspond to the five coloured buttons on your guitar work their way down. Hit...
