Dear Santa… Dear Santa, I know I have been a bad girl this year. I know that the incident with the kitten and the toaster was wrong, and that I could have been a little more sensitive of my flat-mates. I mean how was I to know their nan was visiting, and anyway I can’t help it if my room is next to the front door can I? I also really didn’t mean to trip the electricity with my amplifier, and [...]
and I really hope they make it…. I suppose my title really says it all. It is customary to save the best until last, but as I have never been one for tradition I now bring you my Expo experience of Rabbids go home on the Wii. I must say at this point that I only had a very limited amount of time to play this game, so these are just initial thoughts. Rabbids, if your out there, please don’t [...]
Is everyone sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin… Once upon a time there as a little girl called Little Red Riding Hood. Miss Hood lived in a happy fairy-tale land, and though she stood only knee-high was happy in every way. One sunny day she decided to take a walk with her good friend, the naked emperor. It was so sunny outside that the King even decided not to wear any clothes, but Hood did not mind and so they [...]
The original Red Steel was released alongside the launch of the Wii, and although it got mixed reception, I thoroughly enjoyed it – it wasn’t perfect, but its use of Wii-mote controlled FPS gameplay, mixed with some semi-decent katana fights was enjoyable – and the game had some really memorable moments, such as the scary fairground level. Seeing as the title felt like one that had a lot of potential with some tweaking, I was eager to give Red Steel 2 a [...]

This past couple of days we have been giving you game coverage left right and center from this years Eurogamer Expo. So I am betting you are all wandering what was the expo like as a whole? What was beyond the games? Well here it is folks, Eurogamer in Photo form, these are all the photos that were taken by the Plus XP team as we made our way round the show floor.
Eurogamer was full of surprises for me, such as the Heavy Rain Developer session showing us how awesome that game will be, and the brilliant gameplay of Aliens Vs Predator. What I really didn’t expect was a demonstration of 3D gaming. One single monitor on the showroom floor throughout the weekend had a mass of gormless gamers staring at it with glasses that were reminiscent of Joe 90. The game that was on show was James Cameron’s Avatar, so I [...]
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 [...]
Will somebody please pop me!! I figure you may well be wondering what my title is about this time, and I answer. Its just a normal phrase we have all come to associate with a good old fashioned, completely normal multiplayer session of Super Mario Bros Wii. Nothing strange about that of course. So, Supermario Bros Wii. Voted the Eurogamer teams game of the show at E3 this year it unsurprisingly proved to be a hard one to miss at [...]
