Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
PS3 review by Mark Johnson - Wednesday 30th April 2008
“The Gran Turismo series has been the game of choice for many car aficionados since its initial launch in 1998. The titles have an unrivalled number of cars, with some of the most realistic handling seen in racing games and graphics that have pushed the hardware to the limit. But this formula is now a decade old and whilst sequels have always remained popular, can...” 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 »

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 »

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 »

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools Of Destruction
PS3 review by Patrick Coakley - Wednesday 16th April 2008
“The Ratchet series has been a staple of the PlayStation since the first entry came out on the PS2. And it was with that game that Insomniac cemented its importance as a part of Sony’s success, with it’s strong commitment to the platform; this is especially true in Japan, where the series is very popular, and continues to have strong sales with each new release....” Read more »

The Eye of Judgment
PS3 review by Chris Gravelle - Monday 14th April 2008
“Baseball cards are not fun; baseball players hitting each other in the face with bats is fun. These must have been the thoughts of Richard Garfield when he created Magic: The Gathering. Almost fifteen years later Magic still stands at the forefront of collectible card games leaving behind it a wake of imitators. Now The Eye of Judgment has been born in the house that...” Read more »

Far Cry 2
PS3 Xbox360 PC preview by Terence Gage - Tuesday 8th April 2008
“The Far Cry series has had a short but colourful history. The first game on PC came out in early 2004 preceding the likes of Half Life 2 and Doom 3, boasting a huge and gorgeous tropical island gameworld and some incredible technology, even if the finished product was rather heavily flawed. Developed by those German graphics wizards over at Crytek and published by Ubisoft,...” Read more »

Pain
PS3 review by Mark Johnson - Saturday 29th March 2008
“Why do we like to see people hurt themselves? Simple, because it’s not happening to us. Shows like Jackass and its various spin-offs are hugely successful, and all because we get to see halfwits hurt themselves for our entertainment. The closest the gaming world has to an equivalent of Jackass is Pain (let's for our sake forget that Jackass did actually release a...” Read more »

Ryū Ga Gotoku Kenzan! (Yakuza 3)
PS3 preview by Patrick Coakley - Friday 28th March 2008
“First thing’s first: I did not play through Yakuza or Yakuza 2, and so this preview is entirely based on this being my first Yakuza game. Being that 3 takes place in an entirely different era with different characters, it is also an entirely different game overall as well, and the first entry on the PS3. When I started to play this game,...” Read more »

Shoot From the Lip: Humble Pie
PS3 opinion by James Frazer - Friday 21st March 2008
“When Jose Mourinho joined Chelsea a few years ago, English football looked set to be shaken up from the same old, same old arguments between Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson. For the purposes of this article, let's say that the low-cost nature of Arsenal best suits the style of Nintendo, and that the multi-title winning Manchester United represent Sony. When Chelsea appointed the self-proclaimed...” Read more »

SingStar
PS3 review by Mark Johnson - Friday 7th March 2008
“Everybody loves a bit of karaoke now and again; it brings out the best and worst of people. From the annoying people who can sing, and know they can, to the people who can’t sing, but think they can. It’s these people that have made Simon Cowell as rich as he is with shows like X-Factor & Pop Idol. So wouldn’t it be great if...” Read more »

Devil May Cry 4
PS3 review by Kelvin Tay - Wednesday 20th February 2008
“I was one of many hardcore gamers eagerly anticipating Devil May Cry 4 - so much so that I even spoiled myself rotten by watching all the in-game cutscenes (from the earlier-released Japanese version) as they were put up on YouTube. I couldn't help myself. Every piece of information gathered got me more and more hyped up, and early impressions from the short, but sturdy...” Read more »

Toy Home
PS3 review by Mark Johnson - Tuesday 15th January 2008
“Toy Home essentially involves driving around as a wind-up car. I know what you’re thinking, Micro Machines. Don't get your hopes up though, since everything that is so good about Micro Machines is left out of this game; there's no racing, no other cars and no excitment. Toy Home is from developers Game Republic, not the most recognisable company but they have been responsible for...” Read more »

MotorStorm
PS3 review by Mark Johnson - Monday 14th January 2008
“MotorStorm comes from the loins of Evolution Studios; the makers of the World Rally Championship (WRC) series which spanned 5 games on the PlayStation 2. It’s fair to say that when it comes to making a great off road racer, there are few companies out there that know better. The story takes place at the MotorStorm festival in Monument Valley; a vast desert...” Read more »

Burnout Paradise
PS3 Xbox360 preview by Craig Nye - Saturday 12th January 2008
“What does a guy have to do to get a race on Burnout these days? Well to get answer to that, you’d have to travel a good 5 years back in time to Burnout 2: Point of Impact. It’s quite remarkable - and slightly worrying at the same time, how far off the beaten track Criterion have taken their beloved racing game. Over the past...” Read more »
