    Published Date: Nov 26, 2008

    Well, it looks like it’s not going to be a miserable Christmas for the PS3. Despite a delay because a musical reference to the Qur-an, LittleBigPlanet landed recently and it’s an absolute blast to play. The premise is simple: guide your character, Sackboy, through a variety of levels an...

  • Spiderman: Web of Shadows
    Published Date: Nov 6, 2008

    This years superhero movies saw new life being breathed into a genre that has been hanging by a noose for the last few years. Spiderman: Web of Shadows makes a valiant attempt to do the same for gamers but unfortunately it’s a case of the crawler hitting the wall. If there is one thing the expl...

  • Pro Evolution Soccer 09
    Published Date: Nov 4, 2008

    I have a long history with football games – I even played in the inaugural FIFA Interactive World Cup on the Irish team, flown to London to compete in the Northern European finals – and while I have little experience in the Pro Evo series, I’ve always been fascinated. Because the PS3...

  • LEGO Batman
    Published Date: Oct 25, 2008

    I was a real fan of Lego Star Wars when the original was released. It was a time in my life with lots of travel, and I brought my trusty PSP with me everywhere, and I loved the cutesy mumbling, the knee-less running, and the gentility of the whole thing. However, back then, it was a new depar...

    Published Date: Oct 14, 2008

    I am a BIG fan of Vampires! The whole, come out only at night, blood sucking, do what ever you want, super power, live forever thing sounds pretty darn sweet to me. So, although I had heard from my incredibly talented and always-right editor (suck up intended) [gold star for you Scott - Ed], that th...

  • Hellboy: Science of Evil
    Published Date: Sep 24, 2008

    I'm sort of shocked, because I got Hellboy on the PS3 to review but insisted that I go and see the latest movie before I played it, thereby giving myself a broader range of material on which to write, then realised it's not a movie tie-in. Perhaps the two different names was an indicator. But ...

    Whether you’re a fan of the Metal Gear series or not, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is a defining moment in gaming, because the scope and breadth of the story, and the main players you rotate around, are gloriously well-developed and detailed.

  • Haze
    Published Date: Jun 9, 2008

    How the suits at Sony’s marketing department must be scratching their beleaguered heads, as the platform-exclusive Haze landed a few weeks ago and has already been sliding towards the bargain bin. It’s a situation that needs close examination, because Haze isn’t just a disappointment becaus...
