Saints Row The Third review

Despite being an obvious GTA rip-off, I actually quite enjoyed the first Saints Row game and the second one passed me by when I wasn’t sent it for review a couple of years ago. Thankfully THQ did send me Saints Row: The Third and the good news is it’s just as over-the-top as the TV ads make it look. This time The Saints have control over Stillwater and are attempting to take the town of Steelport away from rival factions. If you’ve played any game of this genre before you’ll know what to expect. You drive from A to B...

Mario Kart 7 review

Finally there’s news that the 3DS is actually selling out in some shops before Christmas and that probably has a lot to do with Mario coming to the system in the form of Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. I’m a massive fan of the racing series so is it actually worth buying a 3DS for? Well, the short answer is, if I got the console and game for Christmas I’d be very happy indeed. Once again you can compete in 8 cups across three speed classes, each consisting of four races. Some of these are brand new...

Top 5 Games of 2012

Here are my top 5 games coming up in 2012: BioShock Infinite At number five it’s BioShock Infinite. This time the action’s not sent in the underwater world of Rapture but instead on a giant city in the air called Columbia in 1912. You play as a guy called Booker DeWitt who’s not a French comedian but in fact a disgraced former agent acting as a lone wolf. The gameplay is the familiar mix of first-person shooting and role playing you’ve come to expect with the BioShock games and of course you’ll get some cool abilities to raise the stakes...

Kinect 2 details emerge

New details have emerged regarding Kinect 2 and the big revelation is that it can lip read. Yes, the new piece of tech is so accurate it can detect facial movement and expressions. At the moment it’s the USB connection that prevents all that data going to the console but the new one will connect differently and come bundled with Microsoft’s next console which is still yet to be named.

Star Wars The Old Republic under attack

Not content with just attacking Battlefield 3, Activision’s CEO Bobby Kotick is now having a go at World of Warcraft’s impending rival Star Wars: The Old Republic. He stated that George Lucas will be the main financial winner when the game comes out on 20th December and he doesn’t understand how the economics will work for EA. EA has previously stated it needs just 500,000 subscribers to make a profit but believe it could attract at least 2 million! Guess we’ll see the outcome in the coming months.

Resident Evil 6 rumors

Resident Evil 6 could be on the cards after the game was mentioned on an actor’s CV. The mention was then removed sharpish but this isn’t the first time the game has been referenced as something an actor has provided his vocal talents on. Last year Capcom said they wanted to get the game out as soon as possible but it failed to appear at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. We guess we’ll hear something official about it in the New Year.
