George of the Jungle
PS2 review by Ben Philpott - Sunday 4th May 2008
“George of the Jungle is the latest effort from Papaya Studios, an independent videogame developer based in California. Now you may be wondering what this has to do with the game itself, well my resources tell me that the employees of this company are all “highly experienced industry veterans”. I’m not going to drop any names of previous companies they may have worked for but...” Read more »

UEFA Euro 2008
Xbox 360 review by Craig Nye - Wednesday 30th April 2008
“My summer of 2008 was going to be amazing. Exams would be well and truly over, I’d be done with school for at least another year, and according to the folks that predict weather patterns, Britain was set for one of the hottest summers in recent history. My summer activities were to be planned completely around the European Football Championships held in Switzerland this year;...” Read more »

DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure
Wii review by Jonathan Glover - Tuesday 29th April 2008
“The SNES canon has been set in stone for quite some time. Etched upon an immovable, moss-covered slab of granite, any discussion about which games (Yoshi's Island) make the cut (Super Metroid) is probably redundant (ActRaiser) by this point. So color me surprised when a little known import recently released on Virtual Console, DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure, turned out to be one of the...” Read more »

Metal Gear Online
PS3 preview by Patrick Coakley - Tuesday 29th April 2008
“Finally up and running, Metal Gear Online is back, and this time with a different take on things. While the last two entries were more like a simple multiplayer version of Metal Gear Solid, this one takes things up a notch and makes this entry feel more refined and competitive than ever before. Coming out as a full game in the Fall, the first MGO...” Read more »

World Heroes Anthology
PS2 review by Justin Boot - Sunday 27th April 2008
“Question for you: When you think of SNK, what kinds of games come to mind? Chances are, you’ll think of the King of Fighters series, and for good reason; those well crafted titles helped shape the development of fighting games beyond the countless Street Fighter II clones flooding the gaming scene. Or perhaps you’d mention the Fatal Fury or Art of Fighting series, both which...” Read more »

Dark Messiah of Might And Magic: Elements
Xbox 360 review by Bart Robson - Thursday 24th April 2008
“It's admirable when games go out of their way to break the mould. So many of them are shoveled out each week, grasping for dollars in an all-out advertising war. How many WWII shooters have their been in the past decade? More than the number of countries involved in that conflict, I'm sure. Dark Messiah was originally released on the PC in 2006, and was...” Read more »

Major League Baseball 2K8
PS3 review by Matt Wadleigh - Wednesday 23rd April 2008
“As it is the supposed "premier" Major League Baseball game, since 2KSports gobbled up the MLB license, I had very high expectations of MLB 2K8. Touting itself as "the most complete baseball experience available," MLB 2K8 left me with a lot of complaints. I was impressed by the variety of options for a couch coach like myself to tinker around with, from a full-fledged franchise...” Read more »

Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys
DS review by Nick Akerman - Tuesday 22nd April 2008
“Humans are useless. At least when it comes to saving the world from a race of evil alien brain thingies hell-bent on our destruction, I mean. We’ve always been suckers for ray guns and mind control, you only have to watch cult films such as Mars Attacks! to work that one out. Fortunately, a trio of saviours wait underground, undetected, and totally undisturbed. That is,...” Read more »

Beta Gone Bad
Opinion by Patrick Coakley - Tuesday 22nd April 2008
“And so 04/21/08 had finally arrived; the day that the almighty Metal Gear Online beta was SUPPOSED to launch worldwide. After all the issues and problems up until this point, Konami has the brass to decide their servers “can’t handle” a worldwide beta, and so the entire thing outside of Japan has been delayed. Let’s explore what the process was to even getting into the...” Read more »

Rondo of Swords
DS review by Chris Gravelle - Monday 21st April 2008
“Goodness, where to start. Before Rondo of Swords launched, I was very excited about the new battle system. When I got it in my hands and loaded up my DS I thought I was experiencing the first major step forward for strategy gaming. But like pancakes, this game wore out its welcome long before it was done. It's sad that a game with so much...” Read more »

300: March to Glory
PSP review by Chris Gravelle - Friday 18th April 2008
“This is a difficult review to start. I prefer to start reviews on a good note. Hmm... it's got the guy that narrated the movie narrating the “game”. There, now that the good is out of the way let us begin the rest. As you probably already know 300: March to Glory is based on a movie, based on a graphic novel, based on true...” Read more »

Silent Hill: Origins
PS2 review by Marc Golding - Thursday 17th April 2008
“This is a quick and dirty port – don’t be led to believe otherwise. Konami took a good, not great, PSP iteration of their famous Silent Hill canon, and decided that PS2 gamers should get a chance to experience it as well. Sadly – and ironically – while very little is changed, the spirited but flawed handheld experience which is Silent Hill Origins actually loses...” Read more »

Fantasy Zone
Wii review by Jonathan Glover - Thursday 17th April 2008
“Despite the best efforts of the Brazilian people, the Sega Master System's failure elsewhere means that much of the console's library serves as nothing more than a historical footnote. While some games were ported to half a dozen platforms (see: Wonder Boy), others are consigned to linger in obscurity. Only a handful of the Master System's titles remain not only playable, but relevant. Fantasy Zone,...” Read more »

Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword
DS review by Jason Townsend-Rogers - Thursday 17th April 2008
“There have been a lot of challenging video game series over the years;Gradius, R-Type and Ghosts & Goblins are just a few that come to mind. However, with the exception of the latter, no series other than Ninja Gaiden has managed to both invigorate and alienate gamers because of its difficulty. This series of games tracks the exploits of Ryu Habayusa as he...” Read more »

FIFA Street 3
PS3 review by Andrew Murray - Wednesday 16th April 2008
“Football sells. The clubs know it, the shirt manufacturers know it - and EA certainly knows it. The football video game market is a goldmine for developers ready to exploit eager armchair fans ready to splash out to play as their favourite team from the comfort of their home - so it’s no surprise we’re inundated with games that are football related. The FIFA series...” Read more »
