Overlord review

Here is a review of Overlord from Codemasters, which to begin with, I got confused with Archlord, their free to play MMORPG but that’s another story. In this one you play the Overlord who has been summoned by lots of evil little minions to be their lord and master. You then go about the world being evil and destroying everything in your wake like a good little tyrant. When I say evil, I don’t mean in the way of say Hitler, we’re talking more ugly sister in Cinderella. Believe me, the proverbial tongue in this game is firmly in its...

Buu Buu Cocoreccho

Sony have announced a version of LocoRoco is coming to the PS3. Titled Buu Buu Cocoreccho, the game will use the tilt function of the Sixaxis controller to move the world so you can guide your little smiling blobs through the level and into the goal at the other end. It’ll be coming to you over the PlayStation Network so hopefully this means we’ll all be able to play it sooner rather than later.

Slimline PSP

Its just been announced that Sony will be releasing a new slimline PSP in September in Japan, with the US and European versions following shortly after. The new handheld will be a third lighter and have a TV out socket so you can play games on your big screen and watch UMD movies. You’ll have to buy a special cable though which should set you back about 10 quid.

Pokemon Diamond Pearl review

Time for our second review and this one’s not out for a couple of weeks but I couldn’t wait so got it from the States. It’s the new Pokémon games this time called Diamond and Pearl and once again, you run around a little made-up world looking for wild Pokemon, battling other trainers and trying to stop an evil team who are up to no good. This time the land’s called Sinnoh, and the evil team which must be stopped is Team Galactic. You’d think by now people would be getting tired of Pokemon but even now it’s selling better...

Sega Rally Review

When the original Sega Rally came to your console in 1995 it was the definitive arcade rally game. Since then we’ve had Richard Burns Rally and of course the Colin McRae series, the most recent one being the beautiful to behold DiRT. Now Sega Rally’s back for next-gen and this one looks to provide an experience just as great, but with a fun, arcade feel as opposed to a very hard simulation that’s only rewarding when you put the time in. What Sega are attempting to provide this time is arcade accessibility with realistic depth. So, even if you can...

The Darkness review

It’s the Darkness and this one’s from Starbreeze, the developers who made the fantastic Chronicles of Riddick on the Xbox, and example of a short but fantastic game over a rubbish movie. Probably the best thing Vin Diesel’s been in to be honest. In this FPS you play a mobster called Jackie on his 21st birthday. The game starts with a car chase where you get thrown from the vehicle and soon after you get possessed by The Darkness, so instead of just using guns to slay your foes, you now get two handy snakes on each shoulder with which...
