Something about the tutorial of this rhythm-action platformer nagged at us. It was busy teaching us to press one of two buttons as we ran past icons. Music played in the background, to which our button-pressing added the percussion. Eventually we realized what was wrong: we needed to hit on the off-beat. ...

It’s fortunate that somebody at Terminal Reality understands exactly what made the Ghostbusters films so entertaining. While the publishers are keen to play up the roles of Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis – who both contributed to the script and did the relevant voice acting – this is very much Terminal Reality’s take on the legend. ...

Zombies never seem to score an even break. Once again they are the subject of our gaming enmity, their sad lives cut short with axes, chainsaws, flamethrowers and shotguns, while we make quips and wait for the next upgrade. The whole thing probably sounds familiar – and it should. ...

World of Goo’s first bona-fide challenger comes up short in both the puzzling and the personality departments.

It’s a cutesy ball-based puzzler, where you, a ball, collect keys to help your ballsy brethren escape their prisons. ...

The main premise of Death Track: Resurrection is that you compete with a group of other drivers on a series of post-apocalyptic renditions of famous cities, like London, Paris and Moscow. As you drive about the tracks, you can shoot at your opponents, and they can return the favour. Between races you can upgrade your vehicle with better weapons, armour, etc. There are a reasonable number of racing options to choose from as well, although there is no multiplayer at all. ...

Who cares about saving puny humans when you can make boxing gloves out of their cars and smash their buildings into rubble? ...

You know you’re in for a strange ride when the intro sequence to a game is a Soviet flag with the anthem of the USSR playing in its entirety. Yes, this is the game everyone and his dog has been getting in a bit of a lather about, the one with the techno-dancing Stalin and the curious teenage girl bopping along between clips of tanks blowing up aliens. ...

Although we’re certainly a fan of the plasticine pair of Wallace and Gromit, we have to concede that our review of the first episode was spot-on. While the game was a great adventure, the humour evident in the Wallace & Gromit films and Telltale’s other games was lacking. ...

Hey! It’s the tie-in game to the sequel to that film with Ben Stiller in that you vaguely thought you might watch if it was on TV or something, but never got around to! Unless you have kids that need to know more about American history, or are a mentally unstable Achievements whore, you might want to turn away now. ...

The Sims 3, like the previous games, is all about controlling people. You begin by moulding their appearance (bearded, thinnish, roguishly handsome), selecting their five personality traits (Childish, Good, Friendly, Artistic, Computer Whizz) and dropping them into their own home in suburbia (two-bedroom, single floor, modest). ...
