Halo Reach review

You may or may not know that I’ve always been in the camp that can’t see what all the fuss is about the Halo games. Sure the first one was a milestone in FPS gaming on the Xbox but I found the Covenant not at all foreboding enough and the weapons really flimsy. Since then, in my opinion other games have eclipsed the series in the FPS market but Halo: Reach is Bungie’s final game of the series so they’ve pulled out all the stops to deliver something that feels like the finale of a game throughout this entire title....

Halo Reach disc read error

It seems that the latest Halo game isn’t having quite the ‘reach’ that Microsoft expected. Some Xbox 360 owners can’t play the game due to their machines refusing to read the DVD.

Microsoft are aware of the problem and if you find you’re one of the unfortunate ones you’re advised to contact Microsoft Customer Support. In the meantime you could try wiping the disc with a soft clean cloth from the inside out or possibly...

Last Window The Secret of Cape West review

If you’ve already played Hotel Dusk you’ll already be able to jump into this game like donning an old pair of slippers. It’s a graphic adventure game where you hold the DS sideways like a book and explore the apartments of Cape West as main protagonist Kyle Hyde. At the start of the game you get laid off by your boss and return to your apartment to discover you and the other tenants are all being evicted due to ‘personal reasons’ given by the sour-faced live-in landlady. The game begins innocuously enough but mysteries soon rear the head – the...

Pang Magical Michael review

I fondly remember playing Pang when it first came out in the late 80s. The idea was simple – playing as one of two cartoony characters who looked like park rangers, you had to fire harpoons at bubbles bouncing down at you from above in order to save the world’s most precious landmarks (and yourselves) from destruction. Based on the arcade classic, Pang: Magical Michael sees you going on a similar mission but this time it’s all your own dong as a failed magical experiment has once again unleashed the colourful bubbles. Quite how a bubble can harm you I’m...
