Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix (Review)

Jun 28, 2007

To be frank, if you dont know your Dumbledore from your Dementors, your Sirius Black from your Severus Snape, or your Hagrid from your Hermione then youre advised to run far, far away from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. In the fifth and most recent game tie-in, there are absolutely no concessions to Potter virgins. New characters are at a premium, so instead of getting bogged down introducing more eccentrics on top of an already bloated cast, youre immediately thrown into the ...

Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (Review)

Jan 14, 2008

Jan 14, 2008 We still remember being surprised - and slightly baffled - when Capcom announced Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law at a press event last spring. As an Adult Swim animated series, Harvey Birdman is a novel idea: a lame Hanna-Barbera superhero from the 60s revived as a modern-day lawyer that represents notable cartoon characters. It's heavy on snark, inside jokes and innuendo - but where's the game concept? Luckily, Capcom knows a thing or ten about milking a franchise, and Harvey ...

Heatseeker (Review)

May 2, 2007

Forgive our ignorance, but we always assumed that when a nation sets off to war against a well-armed terrorist state, it might commit a reasonable proportion of its air force to the conflict. Not just one rookie pilot and his gunshy wingmates. Still, it makes for a spicy intro to the world of air combat in Heatseeker, and because youre the only one who actually dares to fly any of these missions, you get an entire airfield of military hardware all to yourself. Each aircraft has its own ...

High School Musical: Sing It! (Review)

Jan 7, 2008

Jan 7, 2008 How much you enjoy this game largely depends on whether you've actually watched High School Musical and whether, as a result, you want to 'sing it!' If you have, and you do, then the chances are you won't dislike these sickly pop songs and the annoying teenagers singing them as much as we do. Don't get us wrong: we love the song Breaking Free. But the rest are a pretty mixed bag, some of which, like Get 'cha Head in the Game, aren't even really suited to karaoke. Singing these ...

The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return (Review)

Mar 13, 2008

It’s not often you get a bargain, but as anybody who’s familiar with the HotD series will know, Return contains two games for the price of one. We know what you’re thinking here: “Of course it’s two games, the title says so!” But before you start demanding resignations, just bear with us for a second. You see, although House of the Dead 2 and 3 share a few things in common - namely zombies, the Zapper, and a ...
