360 Feature | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
Dec 5, 2007 Enter the US side of Eidos' official Kane & Lynch website, and you are greeted by an unintentionally appropriate quote taken from Game Informer magazine, which ends: "What could go wrong?". Well, cripes, where do we start? Even the most casual of internet-fed gamers must be aware of the firestorm raging around IO Interactive's new game. And Kane & Lynch's profile certainly hasn't been bolstered by accusations of Eidos allegedly falsifying review scores advertised on the official ...

360 Feature | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
Friday 6 October 2006 IO Interactive's psychotic adventure Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is leading the way for next-gen gaming. The infamous nightclub scene, featuring a hundred-strong crowd of dancing, writhing people, blew us away when we were treated to a recent close-up viewing. So, to get a deeper view on Kane & Lynch, we sat down with executive producer Neil Donnell and gave him the interrogation treatment. What's the reaction been to Kane & Lynch? In general it's been extremely positive. ...

PS2 Feature | Katamari Damacy (Damashii)
5 Nov, 2007 Ask any seasoned stick-twiddler to name a genuinely original game from the last five years and chances are that the first name that pops into their head is Namco's brilliant Katamari Damacy. Based on the fairly out-there premise of rebuilding the cosmos by rolling around a magical sticky ball, Katamari wooed gamers not just for its innovative core gameplay mechanic, but also its irresistible characters and bonkers style. We fell in love the moment we first saw the intro, which, if ...

PS2 Feature | Killer 7
At one time, the curiously-titled Killer 7 was a hot property in the video game world. New trailers created either curiosity or excitement in gamers and journalists wondered loudly whether we were about to see the worlds first post-modern game, one that would infuse life in the shooter genre and exist purely as “art” because of its bizarre cel-shaded graphics. Maybe they wondered a little too loudly ‘cause once the game hit retail, the review scores were low - mainly due to ...

PS2 Feature | Killer 7
Killer 7 is not only one of the most visually sumptuous games ever conceived, it's also one of the weirdest. With its blend of first-person shooting, obscure puzzle elements, point-and-click interface and a narrative that actually makes less sense the further through the game you progress, it's almost revolutionary in its sheer originality (not to mention what looks to be its complete lack of commercial appeal). We recently caught up with Killer 7 producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi to find out how he ...

PS2 Feature | Kingdom Hearts
Dec 6, 2007 With Super Mario Galaxy being critically acclaimed not only for its timeless platforming gameplay but also for its brilliant musical score, we got to thinking about other games that had great music. In fact, music so good it's worthy of listening to in its own right, outside of the context of a game. Now, we must stress that musical opinion is different for every single person, so you may disagree entirely with the examples we've got here. But, with the variety we've got on offer, ...

PS2 Feature | Kingdom Hearts
25. Kingdom Hearts Squaresoft | Squaresoft | 2002 A third-person action game with light RPG elements added - and which happened to merge the Disney and Square universes in an utterly captivating way What made it so great? Kingdom Hearts is what happens when you give classic, universally loved characters to the best RPG storytellers in the business and ask them, "could you maybe fancy this up and make one of those video games with 'em?" It sounded ludicrous at first - Donald Duck as a wizard, ...
