Sony Orbis specs

Rumours abound that the next Sony console will be called the Orbis, will be out in 2013 and will contain measures to stop people playing pre-owned games! It also apparently won’t offer any backwards compatibility with PS3 software and games will be locked to your PSN account. Games should look pretty tasty though with a resolution of 4096×2160 and the ability to play 3D games in 1080p – if you’re into wearing dark glasses indoors.

Silent Hill Downpour review

Silent Hill Downpour takes a new direction in the grim horror series. They’ve turned to a new developer and this one promises to explore some new areas of the misty ghost town never seen before. You begin the game as convict Murphy Pendleton being transferred between prisons. You never would have guessed what happens next – the bus crashes near Silent Hill and you wander into the strange nightmarish town where you’re pursued by hellish beasts that all want to kill you. And it’s raining – just your luck eh! If you’ve played a previous Silent Hill games, and I’ve...

Assassins Creed 3 preview

I have to admit I was more than a little perplexed to find out that the next true sequel in the Assassin’s Creed timeline was set during the American Revolution. Until now we had been walking and stalking through olde-worlde cities where most people wore robes but here we were staring down the barrel of a musket and jumping through the trees of the Frontier. How was this going to work? Luckily for me, I was invited to take a look at a preview thanks to the guys at Ubisoft Montreal and now my worries have been put aside. This...

We Sing POP review

We Sing POP is the latest in a long running franchise on the Wii. The last edition was a rock and metal version, and was surprisingly good. This new version eliminates the guitars and tattooed men, replacing with Peter Andre. But is it actually any good? Well, yes and no. If you’re not a fan of Lady Gaga, Hanson or Village People, you’ll no doubt give this a miss. We Sing is a karaoke game, where a player uses a USB Microphone to sing in time with the song being played. Yes it’s another one of THOSE games. The tracks...

Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City review

If I said to you name a game where a team of four fight against hordes of the undead, you’re likely to say Valve’s Left 4 Dead games. Now it’s time for Capcom to have a go along a similar theme but this time set in the Resident Evil universe. And it makes sense – it’s a franchise that’s been around since the PS One and they know a thing or two about good zombie games right? Well, unfortunately, this is one game that Capcom should really destroy all evidence of which is coincidentally what you’re trying to do in...

Twisted Metal review

I was a big fan of the original Twisted Metal games on the PS One because at the time there was no other game out there like it. Sure there was Destruction Derby but that didn’t feature crazy cars and big guns! Now it’s back for a reboot on the PS3 but does it still provide the same thrill or has it been left behind since then? The plot focuses on three characters who’ve assembled to fight in Calypso’s Twisted Metal Tournament. Sweet Tooth is back to get the reward of murdering the one that got away, as well as...
