Import Tuner Challenge - hands-on (Import Tuner Challenge)

Sep 19, 2006

Sliding around Tokyo's C1 Loop in a tricked-out Japanese sports car, we couldn't help but catch a wave of deja vu - this feels a lot like the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series. Turns out it's for a good reason: Import Tuner Challenge is the next chapter, albeit under new branding. You can't swing a muffler without hitting a game about tuner culture, so ejecting a recognizable name is a bold if not risky move. And though it promises loads of hardware tweaking (from softening the suspension to crazy ...

The Incredible Hulk (The Incredible Hulk)

May 16, 2008

Okay, Marvel fans... we know many of you weren’t happy with the last Hulk movie. Maybe the director of Brokeback Mountain wasn’t the best choice, but... All hail Ed Norton! He’s here to make all things right in the land of Banner, as the star (and writer?!) of the upcoming film, The Incredible Hulk. And as you might have expected, he’s also lending his charisma to the game, along with Liv Tyler and other principle members of cast. ...

Indiana Jones - updated impressions (Indiana Jones (next-gen))

Feb 21, 2007

Euphoria. Make a mental note, because youre going to be hearing a lot more of that word over the coming months. One, because for anyone even remotely interested in the worlds greatest adventurer (sorry, Lara), the sight of Dr. Jones on next-gen should be enough to induce - as the dictionary says - “a feeling of great (usually exaggerated) elation.” And two, because its the name of LucasArts self-created development tool, the beating heart at the center of the most realistic, most ...

Indiana Jones - first look (Indiana Jones (next-gen))

May 17, 2006

In the E3 demonstration for the as-yet-unsubtitled brawler Indiana Jones, we watched as Indy handily disarmed some Triad thugs in a steamy, dingy back alley. Then he grabbed one by the lapels and threw him against a car. Then he did it again. And again. And again. Granted, the outcome was a little different each time, with the thug breaking the window with his head or bending backwards over the hood before slumping to the ground. From where we were sitting, it looked like a refined version of ...

Infinite Undiscovery (Infinite Undiscovery)

Aug 11, 2008

Most JRPGs are the grouchy grandpas of the gaming world, set in their outdated ways and loath to change the habits of a lifetime. ...

Infinite Undiscovery (Infinite Undiscovery)

Sep 22, 2006

Infinite Undiscovery? It's a cool name for a game, no doubt, but it also just about sums up our meeting with its creator, Yoshiharu Gotanda, CEO of the developer tri-Ace. With a Microsoft PR rep watching him like a hawk for any info that shouldn't be disclosed just yet... well, let's just say that there wasn't a lot we could do. Shame, too - that screen down there looks great, and we know this guy can make good games: his development house's pedigree includes the Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile ...

Iron Man (Iron Man)

Apr 7, 2008

If you don’t know your superheroes, you might have glanced at Iron Man and had him down as a dull robot-faced crime fighter. He’s actually one of Marvel’s coolest characters - a billionaire playboy genius with a ’70s ‘stache, an eye for the ladies and a heart of actual steel. And that’s before Tony Stark puts on his self-designed flying armour and becomes the Invincible Iron Man. Beat that Peter Parker ...

Iron Man - first look (Iron Man)

Jul 17, 2007

The Iron Man movie may still be under wraps, but at last week's E3 show Sega was pimping out an early look at the game of the movie, which includes big names like Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson and Gwyneth Paltrow. Whether any of these famous faces will take time out to speak into a microphone for the game remains to be announced but Sega's developer team has had access to most, if not all, assets from the film. Behind closed doors we saw an early level in progress that took place in a ...
