Jak and Daxter The Lost Frontier review

In my head, Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank are pretty interchangeable. They both feature a main character with big ears with a funny sidekick that rides around on his back. This new game on the PSP is made by High Impact Games who funnily enough made Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters so it does feel similar in many ways although, for me, doesn’t quite match the quality of the Lombax’s adventure. This time, Jak’s lost his dark powers (which makes for a more light-hearted feel to the game), and Jak and Keira are looking for more Eco as...

Damnation review

Look at the box or the screenshots for Damnation and it appears pretty cool. It looks like a sort of steampunk Western complete with alternative technology and weapons that should mix things up a bit. Unfortunately when you play it, it’s plain to see it’s borrowed a few aspects from other games and, unlike, say, Uncharted, doesn’t implement it into the gameplay particularly well at any point. You play as a guy called Rourke who’s looking for his fiancée. Of course, there’s a bigger picture here and you’re also part of a team who’s trying to stop a military contractor...

Rise of the Argonauts review

Rise of the Argonauts tells the ancient Greek myth of Jason searching for the Golden Fleece. No, it’s not something to keep him warm he left behind at the pub after a few beers, it’s a magical fleece that’s gone missing and has the ability to bring people back from the dead. Why does he want it? Well, as bad luck would have it, his wife was killed during his wedding so he’s gone on the hunt to get the fleece back and then use it to bring her back from the limbo she’s currently in. This may look like...

Disaster Day of Crisis

Everyone thought was canned but low and behold, Disaster Day of Crisis for Wii is back on the release schedule for Europe this year. You take control of Ray, a retired US marine who is still hung up on the death of his best pal. Anyway, as the title suggests, the whole day turns into a terrible crisis and only tough guy Ray can sort everything out. With a huge 23 stage storyline featuring; Tons of guns, Nuclear Weapons, huge bosses and tons of hidden content – this is probably one of the top hardcore titles to buy on Wii...

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts

Rare, probably the world’s second most secretive games developer (Nintendo being the first) have finally released details, screenshots and even a trailer for their long awaited threequel to the hit N64 title; Banjo-Kazooie. The bear and bird combo are returning for another crazy looking platform romp but this time they are bringing a whole host of crazy vehicles along for the ride. If that isn’t getting you excited yet then hold your horses, you can even create your own custom vehicles in a lego style workshop and use them in game for the single player missions and online multiplayer battles....
