So myself and the rest of the PlusXP team were, as you can no doubt tell from the heaps of posts we’ve made so far on the topic, up at the Eurogamer Expo in force over the weekend. I was charged with the delightful task of covering most of the Nintendo titles, as well as a few others, including the mighty Sonic Generations. As my reviews are on the brief side I’ve decided to group them into two posts, as [...]
Ever since I moved to London about two years ago my friends and gaming contacts have been building up. The first week I lived in in englands capital I joined the DS London meet. A Meet up for DS gamers which happened once a fortnight in a pub in London where we would drink and play DS. DS London is a fantastic community of people who are always welcoming new gamers to their community. This week they let me join [...]
The Nintendo Wii has gone from strength to strength ever since its release back in November 2006. It has captivated casual gamers and some of the hardcore elite in many different ways, it has even brought families together and has appealed to all ages, even the over 50′s. With its more interactive approach to gaming as a whole it has sparked off all sorts of ideas in the games industry such as Playstation move and Microsoft’s Kinect. It has literally [...]
When a new console comes around I have two gut feelings (one more than the average human) one, ‘oh goody a new console I have to save up half a year for’ and two, ‘ok so this, this and this just came out, is having a new console a bit too soon?’. As the new Nintendo is on the console far much earlier that I expected it to be, I ask is it too soon for the next-gen? and will [...]
So the 3DS has been out for a couple of weeks now, I have been one of the people lucky enough to get hold of Nintendo’s latest handheld console. With a major overhaul from its predecessor, the 3DS is more than just another update to the original DS – rather the start of the next generation of handheld gaming. So how does it hold up?
Recently, Nintendo held a preview event to allow people to trial the 3DS before it’s release to the general public at the end of March. I was lucky enough to be able to go along and experience it, and so I’ve been trying to cover as much as I can in as far as what I saw and what I witnessed. For the final part I’ll be looking at the First Party games that were on display; Pilotwings Resort, Nintendogs+cats, [...]
When it comes down to Disney games, most of them out there are just cheap knock offs of blockbuster movies, that never really do a Disney film justice. Games like Cars, which I played as a free demo that came with my Xbox. Looked nice graphically but really didn’t have the imagination or charm that the film had. There is one exception of a Disney game that spawned straight from a film and that’s Disney’s Aladdin back on the Sega [...]
As our Eurogamer Expo 2010 coverage dies down, I’m finishing off by covering four more games I covered; Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Killzone 3 (3D) and Kirby’s Epic Yarn. Another long post, but necessary to cover all the games without dragging out the coverage. Hope you enjoy this, and that you enjoyed the coverage of the 2010 Eurogamer Expo! Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood.
The Eurogamer Expo coverage is dying down a little here as I’m getting into the swing of summarising everything I volunteered to covered. So rather than put the updates on day by day, I felt it was probably easier to save your time by trying to put a bunch of the previews together. So the first part is my coverage on Gears of War 3, Mario Sports Mix and Zelda: Skyward Sword. Enjoy! Gears Of War 3 – Beast Mode [...]
One of the current “rumours” going around is the PSP2. The reason I put rumours in quotation marks there was because “Something that everyone knows is going to happen and devs have got their hands on and are making games for it but we have to stupidly refer to it as a rumour because no-one has actually officially announced it” was a bit too long to repeatedly refer to and hilariously pointless to abbreviate into acronyms. So yeah, back to [...]
