Shadows of the Damned review

Suda 51 is mental. I know because I’ve met him and I mean that in a nice way. Although I didn’t ‘get’ No More Heroes, I was much more intrigued by Shadows of the Damned when I watched the announcement trailer because I also like Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez movies. This is basically one of those movies with the gameplay mechanic of Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill’s soundtrack and somehow it works. You play as Garcia Hotspur as you enter hell to rescue your dead girlfriend Paula from a demon called Fleming. I know, he doesn’t sound scary...

Alan Smith joins FIFA 12

Alan Smith has just been announced by EA as the new person to commentate alongside Martin Tyler on FIFA 12. Since Andy Gray’s departure from Sky Sports earlier in the year, speculation has been high about who would take over as EA surely couldn’t have continued with Andy Gray. Senior Producer of FIFA 12 has this to say: “Alan will bring a fresh, new perspective and insight to FIFA 12, working alongside the trusted and well-known voice of Martin Tyler. As one of the top-tier broadcasters on the UK football scene, he brings enormous knowledge and expert analysis to the...

Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D review

I first had a go on Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D on board a parked bus at the launch event of the Nintendo 3DS in Amsterdam. There we got to play on a whole bunch of games and inside the bus they were showing off Mercenaries. I had a little play on it and was immediately impressed at how good it looked. The controls on the other hand I found a little bit tricky but I did only get a couple of minutes on it, plunged straight into a battle against lots of infected zombie people. This time around I’ve...

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time 3DS

The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time 3D review

Ocarina of Time is one of those games that has passed me by over the past 10 years. I never got round to playing it on the N64 and I even downloaded it on the Wii’s Virtual Console and it’s been sitting there ever since unplayed. I suppose you’ll also scoff when I say I’ve never seen any of the Godfather movies and refuse to watch School of Rock. I’m just not interested. In fact, I’ve never really got fully into any of the proper console Zelda games and have actually preferred the various versions on the Gameboy Advance and...

Star Wars Galaxies

Game over for Star Wars Galaxies

Time’s finally been called on Star Wars: Galaxies. The PC only MMO which has been running for a number of years will have its plug pulled in December. Current subscribers will be offered a free two month trial of Clone Wars Adventures, DC Universe Online, EverQuest or Free Realms but my money’s on people jumping over to EA’s Star Wars: The Old Republic that coincidentally launches later this year.
