I hit the MCM Expo this October and got us some great video coverage. Check it out! I go through a playthrough of the Splinter Cell demo with a Ubisoft rep. I do the rounds on the Bayonetta stand and ask my fellow games their impressions on the game. I take a moment with Ben Walker from Sega to discuss their new title Bayonetta which earlier that week scored 40/40 in Famitsu magazine. I take some time out from playing [...]

First Person shooters for me are the pinnacle gaming genre, I know some of you are shouting ‘Nooooo RPG FTW’ Or ‘No, you will have much more fun balancing on a board and pulling silly poses!’ Well biased opinions aside, I can safely say AvP breaths new life into, what some may say, is an overdone genre. Here at Eurogamer I got to get a good session in, with the multiplayer deathmatch, and take it from me - this game has [...]

Garvaos here, reporting live from Eurogamer 2009! After squeezing through the masses of gamers to try and get my pesky mitts on any game I could find. I took time out in the PSP Go lounge, where I found a demo of LittleBigPlanet PSP. Now, I am quite new to the whole LittleBigPlanet experience, I mean I only got the game just under a month a go, and I fell in love with it. Having a go on the PSP game which [...]
Welcome back to the world of odd! Or Oddworld rather. Now what’s interesting about the next game in the series is that it wasn’t meant to be part of the main story, it was a bonus game that was tacked on to the original Abe’s odyssey. Despite this it has plenty to add to the initial plot and expand Abe’s world to us, even if there is relatively little in the way of new features added. So with that bit [...]
So good things do come in small packages…but watch out they are SHARP! Now I know I said you wouldn’t hear from me again until Eurogamer, but I just couldn’t help reviewing this little number. I, like many others, have awaited the arrival of this title with much curiosity. Though perhaps less eagerly awaited than certain other ‘major’ releases this year, I had wondered whether this game could be the little cherry on top of the other rather more dark and [...]
Kingdom Hearts was a game that initially sounded incredibly strange – a fusion of Square-Enix characters and Disney. Although like many I didn’t take a huge interest at the concept originally, playing it opened my eyes to the true potential, and I fell in love with its worlds and characters, it soon becoming one of my favourite games. With such a famous cast including characters such as Cloud, Squall, The Beast and Hades – you’d think that it would be [...]
Through out my gaming life I have come across the good, the bad and the damn right stupid when it comes to games. Weather it is a gaming gem that is worth treasuring for years to come, or an abomination that should hit the bottom of the bargain bin before you can say Street Fighter the movie. But then there is that time in any game companies life where they like to test the water, most game companies sooner or [...]
Being a big fan of Devil May Cry since the first installment, I was somewhat disappointed (see: downright depressed) by the lack of content in the latest installment, Devil May Cry 4. So, when I heard the news that Hideki Kamiya, the original director of Devil May Cry, had a new title in the works, I was intrigued straight away. Published by SEGA, Bayonetta is instantly recognisable as a title that takes it’s inspiration from the DMC series, in character, [...]
Yep thats right folks, this time next week the Plus XP team will be at the Eurogamer 2009 Expo trying to get our hands on eery single game we can, while at the same time, having a great time and trying to grab as much free stuff as we can get our pesky gaming mitts on. So I thought this would be a great opportunity to point at the Eurogamer button on our lovely task bar this will give you [...]
