PaRappa the Rapper review

This review is a new one on the PSP but it’s a game that came out on the PSOne a looong time ago. It’s PaRappa the Rapper and it’s a rhythm game with a great sense of humour and lots of silly songs that get in your head and won’t go away. You play a dog called PaRappa and must copy other rappers in a simon-says type game, pressing buttons on the PSP in time to the music. The first character you rap with is Chop Chop Master Onion Head in his dojo, you then go on to have a...

Mario Party 8

Those of you who didn’t manage to get a copy of Mario Party 8 before it was pulled off the shelves for having a bad word in it can now get excited all over again at the new relaunch date. It’ll be back in the shops on August 3rd. Those of you who got a copy, hang on to it, it may be worth something to someone one day, maybe.

Condemned Bloodshot

Condemned Bloodshot is being toned down after Manhunt 2 was effectively banned in the UK. With the original being gruesome and bloomin’ scary to boot, the developers Monolith have taken a couple of things out to avoid getting the chop. So now you won’t be able to put anyone’s head in a vice and the decapitations are being toned down. Where’s the fun in that?

Best of E3

So a smaller, scaled down E3 has come and gone this year and this time it’s actually been possible to easily pick out the shining gems from all the games on offer without spending weeks trawling through all the information. Here’s my pick of what I’m looking forward to in the coming months. So let’s cover the big boys. Nintendo showed us Mario Kart for the Wii. Very excited about that and the possibility of playing it with tonnes of players over Wi-Fi. Not sure if using the motion sensor of the Wiimote will be as easy as the usual...

Transformers The Game review

So the Transformers movie is almost upon us and the film reviewers are basically saying the film looks great but the story’s a bit of a clichéd mess. Fair enough, I’m sure it’s a treat for the eyes anyway so I’m going to go and see it. As for the game, that’s another story. Let me review it for you now and you can make up your mind on whether to play it or not. What you get with Transformers The Game is a slightly open-ended game world with a story to lpay through similar to Spider-Man, Hulk Ultimate Destruction...

Silent Hill V

So Silent Hill is coming back to haunt us in the new year and this time it’s all next-gen so expect even scarier graphics and proper images of terror that’ll scare you well after you’ve switched off you console. Available for Xbox 360 and PS3, the game follows Alex Shepherd, a soldier returning home from an overseas tour of duty. Alex has taken compassionate leave after his younger brother Joshua has gone missing. At first, Alex goes looking for him in the small town of Shepherd’s Glen before being transported to the misty empty streets of Silent Hill with strange...
