Just child’s play? Well the new year is upon us and after a slightly longer break than anticipated I feel it is due time for some reviews. After much thought on what my first full review of the year should be (and honestly, it was a difficult choice) I decided it was only right to kick off 2010 with a closer look at the newest offering from the rock band family. Yes, I know its kinda predictable, but it is [...]
While I am on the subject of Dante’s Inferno, I gave the demo a whirl to see if the game had any more surprises for me. As you all probably know I had a hands on preview with the game at Eurogamer ’09. So when I came to download the demo off XBox LIVE. I was pretty much expecting the same demo I played at Eurogamer. Oh how wrong I was. This demo showed me the very start of the [...]
Garvaos here taking a break from all the christmas festivities to give you a little news update to whet your appetite. Now we all know hyped games get huge special editions. I mean, with my christmas money I have just bagged me the ultimate climax version of Bayonetta. But as special editions go they can go either one of two ways: One, We have the Modern warfare 2 way, which consists of so many special editions that you are too [...]
Allllllright! Bringing the metal to Eurogamer… Being your rock correspondent I felt it my not so solemn duty to visit the Brutal Legend stand at this years Eurogamer expo. After getting hold of the taster demo online, I was keen to see if I could find out any more about this metal odyssey, as well as to see other gamers reactions as they got their first taste of Eddie’s world. So it is without further ado that I proudly bring you [...]
Hack ‘n’ slash games for me are a bit yin and yang. There are some absolute gems out there, such as God Of War which execute the gameplay and story well leaving you just wanting more and more. Then there are some that just totally miss the mark of the hack and slash genre, a perfect example of this is the game Ninja Blade, it held the promise to be a great hack ’n’ slash title, but in the end it just flopped with [...]
A while back I did a taster post on my first impressions of EA’s Dante’s Inferno. The 3rd person hack and slash game, based on the first part of the classic poem which is known as Dante’s Divine Comedy. Back then I had mixed feelings. I mean there is a good collection of Hack and Slash franchises that are out there already. With God Of War, Devil May Cry and even Ninja Gaiden holding their top spots on their proverbial [...]
When I first booted up the demo I could not help but smile, from the get go you are introduced by metal awesomeness, you are taken to the start screen which is a cover of a Vinyl EP, you know the retro records you used to play on record players, the menu itself is totally made up of this retro metal EP which I thought was a nice touch. Kind of like the menu layout in Guitar Hero 3 but [...]
The Need For Speed franchise has been going for a fair while now, even though I am not much of a racing gamer myself (besides Burnout Paradise), I was once bitten by the Need For Speed bug back on the original XBox, with the first game which was Need For Speed: Underground. Believe it or not I actually enjoyed a game where you drove Kev cars with dust bins for exhaust pipes and with so many lights blinking around the [...]
