EA Playground (EA Playground)

Jun 20, 2007

The actual concept of an EA playground is one of the most wonderfully absurd things weve heard of in a while: a kind of compendium of EA games collected together in the style of a theme park. How excited you get by this prospect depends entirely on your age, because this one is aimed squarely at sticky-fingered youths. But theres no doubting it has a certain pizzazz. The minigame that were most looking forward to is Tetherball - the game that everyone loves until the ball swings right into ...

In development at EA Canada, Playground features game that are easy to pick-up-and-play by fully capitalising on the unique control mechanics of both the Wii and DS. Players will find themselves swinging the Wii-mote to excel in tetherball, or blowing into the DS microphone to fire spitballs or battle friends and family in dodgeball.

Eco Creatures: Save the Forest - First Look (Eco-Creatures: Save the Forest)

Oct 5, 2007

October 05, 2007 Large, muscular men make great armies. So do all varieties of medieval humanoid, especially if they're vision-cloudingly ugly (orcs, ogres) or eyeball-shatteringly beautiful (elves). Zombies and insectoid aliens are right up there. Even huge platoons of robots with large guns will get the job done, provided they weren't designed by George Lucas with the purpose of making floppy-eared aliens with muppet voices look like highly trained infantry. Oh, and so do magical squirrels ...

Electroplankton's mellow movie (Electroplankton)

Feb 28, 2006

Handheld musical oddity Electroplankton isn't a typical game. It's a bizarrely freeform melody-maker for your DS - as this video will show you. We've already been acquainted with an import version of this beautiful freak but now you can see for yourself what makes Electroplankton on DS so quirky. By manipulating the game's onscreen plankton with the handheld's touch-screen and microphone you can create and share your own plinky melodies. Sure, it sounds pointless; there're no 'respect' ...

Elite Beat Agents make a record (Elite Beat Agents)

Jun 4, 2007

Monday 4 June 2007 Our stale weekend faces lit up with Christmas Day joy when we opened this morning's post and found a very cool Elite Beat Agents 7" record sent to us from Nintendo. We love the game and we love vinyl, so it seemed like the best bit of promotional gaming tat ever - nice quality cover with artwork on both sides, an inner sleeve and 7" disc complete with EBA label. However, our happy fuzzy feeling was tainted with disappointment when we discovered that the record didn't ...

E3 06: Elite Beat Agents (Elite Beat Agents)

May 12, 2006

Don't ask us why, but music games seem to have more personality, on the whole, than just about any others. Without a big bulky guy with a gun or a group of perky teens out to save the world to rely on, things seem to get weird - fast. Whether or not the songs are original or top hits, if there's a story you're guaranteed to be swimming in bizarre characters, styling art and that rarest of things in games: an actual sense of humor. Elite Beat Agents follows this path beautifully. Telling the ...
