Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena

Chronicles of Riddick

It’s just been revealed that Starbreeze’s remake of the fantastic Chronicles of Riddick for next-gen consoles won’t be coming out now until 2008. The game already looked stunning on the original Xbox so it’ll be interesting to see how it will fare on the 360 and PS3. No reason’s been given for the delay, so I’ll make one up. Er, they lost the code down the back of the sofa?

Beautiful Katamari demo

A demo of Beautiful Katamari has now gone up on Xbox Live Marketplace. If you want to find out how the game feels on Microsoft’s console you’ll get a tiny three minutes to roll your ball around and pick everything up you can. The full game comes to the Xbox 360 and the Wii later in the year.

Junior Brain Trainer 2

More Brain Training review

It’s the sequel to Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training. It’s a simple idea for a game so it has a simple title. It’s called More Brain Training. Basically, it’s more of the same although these games are very different from the last batch so you’d better be prepared to exercise a whole new load of Neurons to make your brain light up in different ways like when the good Doctor shows you at the start of the game.

Devil May Cry 4 preview

It’s preview time and I’ve got new details on Devil May Cry 4 which have emerged since E3. This time it’s been announced it’s from the producer of the original Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 4 and it’s bound to be good as 7 million people who bought the game series so far around the world can’t be wrong. Once again, you don’t only get to play as Dante but as a new leading man with a few new moves up his devilish sleeves. This time you can also play as a character called Nero. No, he’s not a...

Rugby 08 review

So the Rugby World Cup is almost on us again and somehow England are going to try and defend their crown. You’ve now got the chance to probably do better than the real team with Rugby 08 on the PS2. I’m not a massive rugby fan but the good news is, this game is still very playable whether you have a basic understanding of what all those men with cauliflower ears are doing on the pitch or you actively take part in putting your head between other men’s hot thighs on a Saturday afternoon. What you essentially get here, as...

Unreal Tournament 3 keyboard and mouse support for the PS3

Unreal Tournament 3 is going to get keyboard and mouse support for the PS3. With the advent of PC gamers being able to share the same servers as console owners, PC owners currently have a huge advantage when playing games such as Shadowrun. This move should even things out a bit but will mean you’ll have to have 2 extra bits of kit in front of the TV. The missus won’t be happy!
