Unnecessary colon aside, Scurge: Hive is an attractive game. You've got big, bouncy graphics that look chunky enough to peel right of the screen, and pulsing tunes to echo down the hallways of the space-techno environment. The red-haired heroine seems like an interesting enough character to get behind for a game, and her tag-along, living-computer buddy is ready to chirp in with updated maps for your bounty-hunting needs.
Then you realize that you've kinda played this game already. Your target
Knee-jerk reviews after ten minutes' play-time. As is only right and proper.
The Civilization name carries a lot of weight in the PC gaming community, but not so much when it comes to action-minded console types. To that end, world-famous developer Sid Meier has built a console-specific version that streamlines the whole "epic society building" thing into a few short hours.
Longtime fans know how long the typical Civ game takes. Hours upon hours can be spent tailoring your fledgling civilization from Stone Age to Space Age, sometimes even crossing the 24-hour mark.
Civilization Revolution condenses human history into a strategy game with 16 civilizations rapidly developing through mud-and-sticks beginnings to space-faring world domination. An average game can encompass human history in about four hours. You’ll build cities, explore the world with military units, forge alliances and kick the butts of various cultures.

Natural disasters have turned San Verona, Skate's concrete paradise, into wreckage. The populace has been evacuated. So what's a skater to do? Answer: Carve a pinewood path through the scattered remains of all our favourite Skate spots, drops and jumps in EA's Wii and DS spin-off, Skate It.
Skate's best feature - the Flick It trick system - clearly won't transfer directly to Wii or DS. So developer Black Box has had to think of

Our first look at Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood explained all the gritty details, but lacked a first-hand account of how it plays. Last week we were able to take part in a tour of the game's earliest area, the legendary Green Hill Zone, and can now shed a bit more light on BioWare's grand RPG experiment.

Just how can an RPG - the most patient genre this side of Microsoft Hedge Simulator - capture the jittery, tarmac-shredding ways of Sega’s blue blur? Sonic’s the Sunny Delight of gaming mascots; RPGs are the stomping grounds for mugs of Bovril.
