N+ - hands-on (N+)

16/01/2008

Jan 16, 2008 Being a ninja takes a silent, graceful strength. You need to be nimble, blurrily fast, and absolutely ruthless. But with such incredible physical prowess, it's easy to forget that ninjas also have to be deadly smart. N+'s combination of platforming and puzzling forces aspiring ninjas to make their brawn and brains work together to triumph over your natural enemies (homing missiles and robots with guns, to name two). Levels are bundled into sets of five, called episodes, where ...

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes (Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes)

15/06/2007

What's cooler than a ninja-on-ninja arcade-style beatdown - the kind that the PS2 series Naruto Ultimate Ninja has now sauced up and chop-kicked out for two well-received games? Jessica Alba wearing only an ice-cream bikini and a "come hither" look comes to mind, but in the interest of not having our website blocked by NetNanny, let's go with this: a three-on-three ninja punch-up that you can take with you wherever you go, via your trusty PSP. Now, before you get too worked up, don't worry - ...

NASCAR (NASCAR)

14/07/2006

NASCAR is unbelievably popular, but the prospect of driving in an oval, lap after repetitive lap, has started to get a little tired... no matter how fast you go. Enter NASCAR, EA's attempt to spice things up by digging deeper into the sport than simply picking your line and blindly adhering to ...

NBA 07 hands-on (NBA '07 Featuring The Life: Vol. 2)

31/07/2006

While publishers EA Sports and Take-Two seem content to chase each other with conventional basketball sims, Sony's NBA series is quickly distinguishing itself as a quirkier, more experimental take on the sport. And while the PS2 version takes the unusual step of putting you into the shoes of a single player, rather than a team, the PSP version has its own ways of redefining digital hoops. The game is classic five-on-five, but NBA 07 adds something completely unprecedented: turn-based strategy. ...

NCAA Football 09 - first look (NCAA Football 09 )

1/05/2008

Only two days before the NFL Draft, we watched EA Sports producers take to the stage and demo a pre-alpha build of NCAA Football 09. The presentation began with a bullet-point list of goals for the team at EA Tiburon that included the requisite “college atmosphere” and “wide-open gameplay.” Then they gave college football fans everywhere – those with an Internet connection, anyway – what they’ve ...

Need For Speed Carbon (Need for Speed Carbon)

14/07/2006

At EA's recent Studio Showcase 06, we got a glimpse of the future of one of the most popular racing franchises in gaming history (next to Gran Turismo, of course). The tricked-out racing rides of Need For Speed are back and even more customizable than ever - with hyper-tense, high stakes tracks to match. To start, EA has added a new feature called Auto Sculpt that blows the doors off of the term "vehicle customization." Instead of simply strapping on pre-formed after-market parts to your sleek ...

NFL Street 3 - hands-on (NFL Street 3)

26/09/2006

NFL Street is football for adrenaline junkies - all the thrills, none of the complicated strategy. With the third installment in the franchise, EA's hoping a few changes and additions will it be enough to give Street some of the hard-core fan support that EA's Madden franchise enjoys. ...
