The Simpsons Game - hands-on

PSP Preview | The Simpsons Game

We've played a fair few Simpsons games in our time. It goes with the job - there have been so many they're hard to avoid, like the Army Men games, or Dynasty Warriors (just considerably better). But none have really gone down as classics in the Videogaming Bible of all Things Great (if such a thing existed obviously). It looks like this might be about to change, however, with a game that comes from both the company who (arguably) knows most about videogames, EA, and the people who (unarguably) ...

The Simpsons Game

PSP Preview | The Simpsons Game

Oct 1, 2007 Theres never been a game that truly captured the The Simpsons essence. Not that thats stopped them from being successful - Hit & Run was one the all-time biggest selling PS2 games. So when The Simpsons Games Executive Producer Scot Amos began work on EAs first crack at the license, he knew that the only way forward was to rip up the yellow rulebook and start ...

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe

PSP Preview | Spider-Man: Friend or Foe

Sept 24, 2007 Friend or Foe is ultimately another iteration of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, but based solely on Stan Lee's teenage arachno-star. You and a Spidey friend will scrap endless gangs of "minions" throughout several lushly laid-out locales - including New York (obviously), Tokyo and snowy Nepal. On your journeys you'll bump into every major Spidey villain and they'll be available to help you in your quest to... do good stuff, once you've defeated them in battle. With so many camp ...

WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008 - hands-on style...

PSP Preview | WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2008

Sep 17, 2007 In the real world, an ass-kicking is an ass-kicking. It doesn't matter if the other guy is a street brawling gang banger, your martial artist dorm buddy, the bully on the playground, or the girl scout from down the street - the fundamental problem is someone is pounding their knuckles into your face and stomping on your spleen. As such, any further details are ultimately inconsequential. In the world of professional wrestling, however, the fight is largely secondary to the show. ...

Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron

PSP Preview | Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron

Sept 13, 2007 Hoth... shit; we're still only on Hoth. Excuse our paraphrasing quotage, but what we're trying to get across is that we've played enough Star Wars games to choke a sarlacc pit, so we weren't exactly clamoring to toil through yet another iteration of the snowy planet. But we're happy to report that many of the quibbles we all had with the PSP's Battlefront II have been addressed in Renegade Squadron. Or, to put it less diplomatically: You bitched, LucasArts listened. And after ...

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions -...

PSP Preview | Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Sept 7, 2007 Even if you've already played the original Final Fantasy Tactics for PSone, at first glance you may not recognize Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions as a remake. The gameplay is more or less the same as the original, but the story has received a huge facelift in the form of new, cel-shaded cutscenes. Ivalice seems more real than ever here, and the hand-drawn art complements the story and overall feel of the game perfectly. From the opening scene of Chocobo riders racing ...

The Sims 2: Castaway

PSP Preview | The Sims 2: Castaway

Aug 31, 2007 The Sims 2: Castaway, or "Sims 2: Guess where the idea for this came from," as we're renaming it. Clearly a Sims game - we'd recognize that mix of skill building, house construction and clothes making anywhere - EA have ignored Ubisoft's Lost license and made their own version of the TV show. Washed up on a beach, the name of the game is building a community with mysterious "other" Sims (read: the Others). A more plot-led experience this time, reaching certain skill milestones ...

The Simpsons Game video walkthrough

PSP Preview | PSP

31 Aug 2007 Being one of the few hugely devoted Simpson's fans that religiously watches back to back episodes on cable TV every night, buys the box sets and regularly attempts to defend the recent series lack of form on the pretence they usually have at least one laugh out loud Homer moment, we've been rooting for a decent Simpsons game for years. Having to put up with people claiming that Hit 'n' Run was a 'good' Simpsons game (no it wasn't) was bad enough but the fact it turned out to be ...

Sega Rally: PS3 into PSP will go

PSP Preview | Sega Rally Revo

Aug 28, 2007 Sega's brand-new Sega Rally has got a lot to live up to. Few games can attract gamers over a decade after release (especially early 3D titles), but the feeling of weight, roll and momentum in 1995's Sega Rally is still as convincing now as it was on its release. We've already had a look at the PS3 and Xbox 360 version of the 2007 reimagining of the game, but now we've got the previously unseen PSP version in our hands. Can it possibly measure up to the console versions? Deep ...

Silent Hill Origins - further impressions

PSP Preview | Silent Hill Origins

Aug 21, 2007 By now, its pretty obvious that if you wind up in thick fog staring at the “Welcome to Silent Hill” sign, then it means youve an unresolved skeleton or two in your closet. Nobody stumbles upon the town by accident, and thats exactly why we expect trucker Travis Grady is harbouring a guilty secret. He begins the game pursuing a girl he thinks hes knocked over, which eventually leads him to the towns dreaded hospital - home to many a familiar monstrous nurse who display ...
