SuperRope is a looping game from Craneball Studios where, like Robot Unicorn Attack, the main goal is to achieve as high a score as possible. In it you control a character as he climbs up ropes, shifting from one to another in order to avoid stage obstacles like falling pianos and anvils. It is available for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, and requires iOS 4.0 or later. Perhaps the best thing about this fun little app is that it [...]
‘Review’
This week I have had a chance to sink my teeth into a game which combines two of the things I love most. I am talking of course about Zombies and the iPhone. In the past the combination of zombies and phones may have seemed unlikely not only because of the limited linguistic skills of the common zombie, but also due to the fact that the average mobile phone is neither heavy nor sharp enough to form and effective weapon [...]
Contributed by Helen Doherty Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing is the third title in a relatively new series of games which focus on the characters and settings of Sega’s history. The first two titles in the series were ‘Sega Superstars Eyetoy’ and the commercially successful ‘Sega Superstars Tennis’. SSAR (Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing abbreviated) has thus far proven the hit itself, having sold 2.37 units worldwide to date. It has been praised far and wide by critics and fans [...]
Contributed by Random Man Over the last few years there have been only a few fighting games that have interested me when I heard of there pending creation. When I heard that Midway Games were going to team up with DC Comics to produce Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe I was interested in this game. The prospect of fighting with not just my favourite Mortal Kombat characters, but also a chance to fight with some of my favourite DC Comic [...]
Most people out there see me as a gamer geek, it’s not surprising really as I run a video game review site. However there is another side to my geeky nature and that’s my love for anime, or Japanimation as I like to call it. So when Tecmo Koei and Namco Bandai posted Plus XP a copy of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 to review, you could probably imagine my excitement
It’s finally here. It’s all over. Telltale Games’ finale to their series of Back to the Future is finally here, and in style. After a story that’s spanned several alternative timelines and even alternative versions of characters fans of the series have come to know and love, it all ends with OUTATIME! Warning: Spoilers for this and previous episodes follows.
Contributed by Helen Doherty Okamiden is a Capcom RPG for the Nintendo DS. It was released in America on the 15th March, (and Europe two days later), and is a sequel to the critically acclaimed PS2/Wii title Okami. I won’t say too much about the story so as not to spoil things for those of you intending to play this, but I will say it is set 9 months after the events of the original. It is considered an indirect [...]
There’s a fundamental difficulty with episodic gaming that I’ve had to force myself to come to terms with recently; the wait between episodes becomes harder to bear the more engrossed you are in the series. The wait between the third and fourth episodes of Telltale Games’ Back To The Future was probably one of the most difficult I’ve had, with the third episode ending on a cliffhanger best described as “cruel” and the end of my second year at Uni [...]
The wind blew the snowflakes through the valley leading to the mighty fortress where the Daimyo of the Mori and his small garrison waited for the incoming Shimazu attack. Outnumbered three to one with few samurai at his disposal, the situation looked bleak. Nevertheless, he ordered his men to stand firm and fight with all their vigour. There was no honour in being a coward. As the enemy approached, he dismounted his horse and stood amongst his men; not just [...]
My love for fighting games was revived back in 2008 with the release of Street Fighter IV; the famous 2D fighting series was back, and I was loving it. Since then, I’ve been brushing up on my skills, and even though I’m not going to be as awesome as some of my friends it doesn’t mean that I’m unable to enjoy the overall gaming experience. After getting back into the Street Fighter series, I thought it would be a great [...]
