Sega Mega Drive Classics Collection review

Sega’s favourite Mega Drive games have been repackaged and rereleased so many times it’s hard to keep up. You can get a decent disc’s worth of Mega Drive games on the PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox 360 and, shoot, even the Saturn and Gameboy Advance have had a go. Downloadable versions of their greatest hits are available everywhere, from XBLA to PSN to Virtual Console to iTunes to Steam to I don’t even know what’s left. You can also pop into a toy shop and get a Plug ‘n’ Play joystick or a handheld Mega Drive to play wherever you like....

PlayStation Move Starter Pack from Amazon

We’re cautiously excited about PlayStation Move, it’s clear that Nintendo made some correct moves when developing the Wii but they did cheap out on inaccurate and low quality tech. After four years of studying the success (and anti-climax) of Wii; Sony went to their drawing board with the goal of improving motion control and bringing it to their core PlayStation 3 audience. Whether Sony will convince Sony PS3 owners to buy into motion control is anyone’s guess. What we do know is that they’re trying very hard with good looking previews at E3 and a low cost Playstation Move Starter...

Swarm announced for the PS3 and Xbox 360

Recently we reviewed Blacklight Tango Down which we found to be decent first person shooter that was heavily inspired by Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Developers UTV Ignition next project is a fun looking strategy game called Swarm. Swarm for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 looks a lot like Pikmin; the Nintendo created real time strategy game which appeared on GameCube and Wii. The game is filled with cute looking characters called Swarmites. These blue gooey looking creatures look like they were created in Spore; they’re so cute you’ll want to protect them as much as you can from...

Kane and Lynch 2 Dog Days review

The first Kane and Lynch game was a bit of a disappointment really. The controls weren’t great, it screamed for a co-op mode but didn’t have one and felt disjointed. This sequel aims to fix all that and in some ways it does and some ways it doesn’t. So years later, Lynch is living in Shanghai and Kane comes to see him for one last money making exercise – an arms deal. This soon goes wrong when they accidentally kill a very powerful kingpin’s daughter and the whole of China seems to be after them. Cue lots of running and...

Ninety Nine Nights 2 review

I’ve never heard of the original Ninety-Nine Nights but you don’t need to have played the first game to understand what’s going on in this sequel. Basically it’s the usual fantasy story of an evil army horde invading and you being the good guys trying to stop it. Along a similar vein to the Dynasty Warriors games you fight thousands of enemies as one of 5 lone combatants as you hack and slash heads and limbs off your enemies to get to the other side of the level. And these levels are large and take a while to get through...
