Drawn to Life developer, 5th Cell has another promising DS title up its sleeve that’s worth keeping an eye on. Lock's Quest will place you in the role of Lock. He’s an Archineer - that’s part architect, part engineer - who’s charged with defending his town from an invading clockwork army. Led by the undeniably evil Lord Agony, the clockworks are after your hometown’s rich Source wells. ...

The decision to immortalise the wise-cracking hero in LEGO form is clear: the Indiana Jones films are almost as iconic as Star Wars, and their cheeky humour runs parallel with the tongue-in-cheek approach of the recent LEGO games. With the building blocks already in place from the Star Wars games, it hasn’t been too difficult for Traveller’s Tales to whip the engine into shape and recreate the original three films in a style fit for ...
Straight from WrestleMania XXIV weekend in Orlando, Fla., comes the unveiling of wrasslin’ sim WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2009. Set for release this fall on every system under the sun, the game promises more than just an increased polygon count and expanded roster. Oh no, this year’s version brings an incredible overhaul and revision of our favorite wrestling franchise, from wrestler AI to tag-team and online modes. We had a chance to ...
Most of us didn’t realize that publisher 2K Sports actually put out an MLB 2K7 baseball game last season on the DS – and by the looks of it, 2K would like those who did know to forget that ever happened. This spring, they’ve scrapped any attempts at a hardball sim in favor of a kid-friendly, stylus-driven baseball game, rebranding the franchise as MLB 2K8 Fantasy All-Stars. We got our mitts on a preview copy and took a few ...
There’s a hint of madness to Bioware’s Sonic outing. 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. The only grinding he’s heard of involves skateboarding, and XP is merely an emoticon for showing disgust. Spend time ...

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. The game can be won by destroying all the other civilizations, achieving cultural ...
It’s not every day Square Enix produces a game that doesn’t end with “Fantasy” or “Hearts,” but channels the better parts of both series to create a game so bizarre, yet immensely playable. We expected as much, considering Tetsuya Nomura (the head brain behind the Kingdom Hearts series and Final Fantasy Versus XIII) directed and designed all the hipster characters for The World Ends With You - the latest ...
Part game, part handy guide to surviving a Brain Thingies invasion, Teenage Zombies is a side-scrolling, puzzle-filled action platformer with a sense of humor. You swap between three zombies, each with their own special moves to get through the obstacle-filled levels and eat through an army of evil brains. Combat isn't very difficult (partly because the brains you kill can be consumed to regain health), but it's not really the focus of the ...
