The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning - hands-on

GC Preview | The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

Every once in a while, an aging series needs a shot in the arm. When Spyro the Dragon originally debuted on PlayStation back in 1998, it was a cute platformer that still managed to be enjoyed by young and old alike. Eight years and over a dozen games later, the series has devolved into something mostly for the kids - who, in fact, largely ignore it. As the title of the game implies, Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning hopes to reverse all that, taking the little purple guy back to his roots and ...

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords

GC Preview | The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

Nintendo have been harping on about GBA connectivity for absolutely ages and, apart from Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and Pac Man VS, we've seen precious little evidence that the feature is really worth bothering with. Four Swords is going to change that.FOUR TIMES THE FUN? Anyone played Zelda: LTTP's Four Swords extra? No? Well, shame on you, because it's one of the gaming worlds most criminally underplayed experiences - with you and your mates navigating through dungeons, solving puzzles ...

Pre-E3 06: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC Preview | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

In this morning's press conference, Nintendo announced there will be two versions of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess shipping. One will be for the GameCube, the other a specifically-tuned game designed to make use of Wii's newfangled remote control. The current-gen, GameCube version will be the same game, but without the new controller ...

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC Preview | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

There's practically nothing left for those defiantly clinging to their GameCubes. Fortunately, there is one piece of software on the horizon that may end up being the game of the year. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess takes the fantasy series in a different direction while maintaining everything that keeps this tale timeless. There's no doubt the focus will be slaying monsters and exploring a rich overworld, but it's the fragments of information we've obtained that intrigue most - namely ...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC Preview | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

This one's got a lot to live up to. Twilight Princess has to answer to jabbering nutcases who moaned about Link looking like a Disney cartoon; prove that The Wind Waker's drawn-out Triforce-hunting tedium wasn't the first sign that Nintendo is shedding its coat of magical brilliance; and, of course, make Zelda fans very, very happy. And it's one of the first games to let us feel why Revolution is the future. As we revealed back in December, stick Twilight Princess into Ninty's next console and ...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC Preview | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

As if the official unveiling of Nintendo Revolution and Game Boy Micro wasn't exciting enough, we were invited to a post-conference Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess sneak preview with Eiji Aonuma and Shigeru Miyamoto, the director and producer respectively. The demo consists of four different areas - Link's home village, a horseback fighting section, a forest dungeon and a boss battle - each one offering a distinctly different style of gameplay. It begins in a town area and, more ...

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

GC Preview | LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

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 ...

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy - hands-on

GC Preview | Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

Hands-on time with LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy only confirms what you already knew: If this adorable game does not make you smile, you have no soul. Of course, cute ain't everything, and that's the real reason why our time traipsing through Episodes IV (A New Hope) and V (The Empire Strikes Back ) in a preview version of this Xbox 360 action/adventure was so satisfying. Not only is the game almost huggable (all these warm-fuzzy screens are taken from the Xbox 360 version), it's a ...

Lego Star Wars II hands-on

GC Preview | Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

A rebel ship disappears from orbit, sucked into the belly of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Rebels hold their breath and take up defensive positions as a door is breached. Stormtroopers flood in. Shots are fired. Cute plastic heads clatter to the floor and slowly blink out of existence. Beginning with the first scene of A New Hope, Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy finally gives fans what they really want: the chance to play through Lego versions of the first three films. We've finally had ...

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy - first...

GC Preview | Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

Our first real glimpse of Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy was of Luke Skywalker running over pedestrians in a landspeeder. As he thoughtlessly careened around the streets of Mos Eisley, any Lego people who got in his way were reduced to flailing their limbs while lying helplessly on their backs. No wonder those goons in the cantina don't like him. While it still features plenty of the adorable lightsaber-swinging, puzzle-solving, multiple-character-controlling action that made the ...
