Just how destructible is Battlefield: Bad Company? (Battlefield: Bad Company)

Apr 2, 2008

Think of Bad Company, and you think destructibility. Well, you might not, but we sure as hell do - it's been the game's most talked about feature ever since it was first announced. So, when we got ourselves some quality alone time with the Xbox Live multiplayer Beta, there was only one thing we wanted to do. Blow stuff up. ...

Want more 'creative' games? Bring back the NES (Beautiful Katamari)

Nov 5, 2007

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 ...

Games to cure your Olympic hangover (Beijing 2008)

Aug 29, 2008

The Olympic games have been over for a week now and you may feel like it's left a big space in your life. In fact, it's now a bit weird to turn on the TV and not see someone rowing or running (or crying). But don't worry – you don't have to wait until 2012 to fill that void again. Why, you can do it all again with the wonder of gaming! ...

Five games the Beijing Olympics will make old-schoolers want to play (Beijing 2008)

Aug 11, 2008

We were watching the Beijing Olympics at the weekend and got to nattering about how there's hardly any excitement around event-based sporting games anymore. Predictably the conversation took a rose-tinted turn towards the nostalgic and we all traded happy tales of masochistic joystick waggling and multi-load cassettes. No doubt other gamers with a memory for the shit old days will do the same. Here's five games that we reckon will fondle the memories of most old-schoolers at some point during the Olympics ...

8 ways to play Beijing Olympics 2008 (Beijing 2008)

Aug 8, 2008

Today marks the start of the 2008 Olympic games. And in order to spur on our Olympic heroes, while at the same time trying to fool our brains into thinking that we’re actually doing some exercise, we’ve tried and tested eight different ways of playing Beijing 2008. Some of which will be familiar, others definitely won’t be. But are any of them better than the good old jumper trick? ...

Bionic Commando multiplayer - creative vs crappy (Bionic Commando (Next-Gen))

Aug 21, 2008

After spending several hours with the solo version of Bionic Commando we're confident it'll end up alright. Maybe not a senses-shattering mind-asplosion like Resident Evil 4, but a good time nonetheless. The swing mechanic, obviously the most important part of the game, feels tight, and with that functioning properly the rest just needs to fall into place. ...

Bionic Commando Rearmed contest (Bionic Commando Rearmed - PS3 Network)

Aug 28, 2008

All gamers in need of a tough-as-balls challenge absolutely have to check out Bionic Commando Rearmed. It’s a badass recreation of a classic NES title, sure, but stands tall today as one of the best games we’ve played all summer. Part of the fun stems from the 56 challenge rooms that put your arm-swinging skills to the ultimate test – oh wait, make that 57 rooms. ...

Game names corrected by spell check (BioShock)

Jun 5, 2008

You know that red line that pops up in Word, Firefox or any other program with a spell check? It's helpful, don't get us wrong, but they really should spend some time working on spell check's virtual intuition. When we typed "Firefox," just now while writing this article, the red line asked if we meant "firebox." Um no, we didn't. And that's what happens countless times every second across the world when people type in video game names - ...

BlackSite: Area 51 - Interview (BlackSite: Area 51)

Feb 6, 2007

BlackSite took us somewhat by surprise at Midway's Las Vegas gamers day last week; its intuitive squad controls and truly squelching atmosphere give off a promising vibe we didn't expect, and it could turn out to be a very notable FPS release when it hits Xbox 360, PS3 and PC later this year. At the same event we got a chance to sit down with the game's producer Zack Wood, who answered all of the burning questions we had after our short play-through. Here's what he had to say... Could you ...

Twelve sequels we actually want (Burnout Paradise)

Jan 3, 2008

Some people say you can have too much of a good thing, but we say they can bugger right off. A cake is good, right? But are two cakes bad? No, theyre just more cake, and we like cake so well take all we can get. Om nom nom. In gaming terms, the only thing better than a great videogame is a great videogame that acts as the start of a great franchise. Final Fantasy, Burnout, Super Mario Bros… We love them not only because theyre great but also because of what they later gave us. The only ...

360/PS3 comparison video: Burnout Paradise (Burnout Paradise)

Dec 14, 2007

14th Dec, 2007 We took both versions of Burnout Paradise for a joyride around the city today to give them a proper comparison side by side. Being the generous souls that we are, we naturally recorded our games so that you guys could share in our findings. Both games look brilliant. It would take a black hearted swine indeed to deny that. But we can't help feeling that while the Xbox 360 version is perhaps slightly more vibrant, the PS3 edition takes the lead in in terms of looking noticably a ...
