Super Mario Galaxy 2 Published Date: Jul 31, 2010It’s rare for Team Mario to put out a straight sequel. Usually we can expect a Mario title to be showcasing new technologies, or redefining its own well-worn formula in some fundamental way. Maybe, like the rest of us, after 2007’s truly revolutionary Super Mario Galaxy, the team scratche...

Red Steel 2 Published Date: Apr 2, 2010This thing needs a tag line, I’m thinking: Red Steel 2: The Aspirationalist, or Red Steel 2: The Underwhelmening. I’m still not sure... One thing’s for sure, this Wii Motion Plus thing works. You’ve really got to swing it now, trying to get through this game in two days near...

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-stars Published Date: Feb 11, 2010When did fighting games become a niche thing? When I was growing up everyone was playing Street Fighter II, but I guess the world moved on. The Western World moved on, anyway, or moved in, to be precise. Back In The Day it was ALL Japanese, but where there’s money there will be America. At ...

New Super Mario Bros Wii Published Date: Nov 24, 2009So there’s a new New Mario. The old New Mario was pretty damn sweet, I reckon, and another new Mario is always a good thing. A lot of people don’t reckon, however, they reckon it’s too cutesy, too the-same-as-the-last-one, too old school. I think we’re about to learn that we’re both right,...

Grand Slam Tennis Published Date: Jun 29, 2009On a rare occasion, realism is a double edged sword, although to be fair it is a damned rare occasion. You never hear fans of Operation Flashpoint complaining that it was just too hard to play, or Forza 2 racers whinging about the car tweaking you can do. I wouldn’t imagine ...

The House of the Dead: Overkill Published Date: Mar 6, 2009House of the Dead: Overkill is a brutal, over the top, blood-fest that takes itself as seriously as a school of dead fish. Reminiscent of the worst ham-fisted B movies (that you stayed up watching when you knew you should be in bed), it is as captivating as a car crash. You know you shouldnâ€...

Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip Published Date: Jan 7, 2009Sports games are big business, and always have been, even before EA took over most of the gaming world with their annual instalments with a famous name emblazoned across the front. Games based on the snow have also been fun, with SSX still conjuring fond memories with its insane speeds and c...

MySims Kingdom Published Date: Nov 14, 2008The world of Sims is a strange, strange place for both the unacquainted and the chemically balanced. Here is a parallel universe, populated by zombie-like creatures—or, as they are known in our world, suburbanites—doing mundane, middle-class tasks: earning, buying, building, and busying. And whi...
