Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy Published Date: Jun 25, 2008And what a path it is. Movie games have traditionally been poor fare, created for one of a stable of reasons – bringing a brand to a gaming audience, cashing in the movie’s success (the most common one), or because in the modern age of entertainment you just have to have a game for whatever you...

Racedriver: GRID Published Date: Jun 17, 2008Racing games have come such a long way in recent years that it’s hard to imagine where improvements are going to come from. Forza Motorsport 2 offered in-game telemetry that while attractive at first, ultimately lacked the long-term appeal it promised. The Project Gotham series brought us excellen...

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters! Published Date: May 15, 2008The Ratchet and Clank series has introduced a number of successful games to a rather flooded market of platformers, but unfortunately for this installment, the trend fails to continue. The main problem with this game is that it is a port of a game which originally appeared on the PSP, but really fa...

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 Published Date: Apr 8, 2008When something great happens, you can be sure there’s someone counting the profits somewhere. Ask Sylvester Stallone what happened when Rocky was a smash hit. Well the streets of Vegas are again the scene for some underworld action, so it’s off with Rainbow to clean up the mess. Tom Clancy’...

Ratatouille Published Date: Sep 5, 2007Ratatouille, the game, has much to live up to. More or less acclaimed by every major and minor newspaper and magazine in the world (excluding, maybe, Le Monde and L’equipe), the movie has fared extremely well, both commercially and critically. The game, hoping to capitalize on that success, has it...

Resistance: Fall of Man Published Date: Jul 23, 2007Resistance: Fall of Man is a first-person shooter developed by Insomniac Games who you may recognize as the people who brought us the insanely fun Spyro the Dragon and Ratchet and Clank. Fall of Man takes them in a different direction with a darker, bloodier tone that still keeps you glued to the co...

Rapala Tournament Fishing Published Date: Apr 12, 2007Imagine a concept so seemingly unfit for a full-on video game release that it actually becomes intriguing. An idea for a game that is so far-flung that you can’t stop thinking about playing it. Such as, let’s see… perhaps a game about cleaning out the garage, or a game about learning to walk a...

Rampage: Total Destruction Published Date: Apr 1, 2007While we’re waiting for some of the more exciting Wii titles lined up for release in the near future, let’s look at one game that we weren’t so excited about to begin with, and see what it has to offer. Rampage: Total Destruction is following in the footsteps of a true arcade classic, but how ...

Red Steel Published Date: Mar 22, 2007Red Steel is in many ways a First Person Shooter showcase for the Wii console, Remote, and Nunchuk. Problem is, though, that the showcase, while quite beautiful, exhibits other rather lackluster goods: an already painfully familiar plot, uninventive swordplay, and limited interactive environments. S...

Rayman Raving Rabbids Published Date: Mar 22, 2007If we're to believe the average pundit these days, then the gaming community is going to hell in a handbasket. Nothing quite gets our reptilian blood boiling, we are told, like bodies drawn and quartered, torsos impaled on impossibly long javelins, corpses shredded into a putrid mess, spines snapped...
