  • GTA: Chinatown Wars
    Published Date: Mar 30, 2009

    The single biggest factor for games to catch the attention of players, and hold it, is gameplay.

  • GTA: Chinatown Wars Hands On Preview
    Published Date: Mar 8, 2009

    When Rockstar invited us down to Sydney to get to have a run on GTA Chinatown Wars on the Nintendo DS, we were keen as hell to give it a go. Why? Because we needed to be convinced that the DS, as a system, could house such a large game world - with a substantial range of missions like all the other ...

  • Spore Creatures
    Published Date: Oct 27, 2008

    Most games, these days, are released on multiple SKUs. SKU, for those that don’t know, is the frightfully dull industry-acronym for Stock Keeping Units, which for normal people means ‘how many platforms it comes out on’. Going multi-SKU makes good economic sense for the publisher and developer...

  • Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Da
    Published Date: Sep 24, 2008

    Based on the previous Mystery Dungeon games - Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team - the latest editions are neither innovative nor really worthwhile to anyone but the most ardent Pokémon fan. There is little difference between the new titles except for the Pokémon available for selection in each...

    From the Square Enix and Jupiter teams, whose creations include Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, comes the innovative action-RPG The World Ends With You, which is one of the most multifaceted, stylish and engaging games I have played on any games system.

  • ATV: Thunder Ridge Riders / Monster Truc
    Published Date: Jun 3, 2008

    The signs were bad from the beginning for ATV Thunder Ridge Riders & Monster Trucks Mayhem, when the translation on the back cover was incorrect (for “cart” read “card”, and for that matter “great” should have read as “horrendous”). Even the fact that two games are packaged for the p...
