UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 (UEFA Champions League 2006-2007)

Feb 28, 2007

Anyone unfortunate enough to have played UEFA Champions League 2004-2005 on the original Xbox will be welcoming this follow-up in the same way that Pedro Mendes looks forward to a Ben Thatcher challenge. It was a shocker, hastily put together by a new EA team (separate from the FIFA guys) and it showed in everything from the jerktastic animation to the brainless player AI. Thankfully, this sequel is an improvement, but lets not get too carried away: it wont be giving the Pro Evo guys any ...

UFC 2009 Undisputed (UFC 2009 Undisputed)

Aug 19, 2008

Do you want to be an Ultimate Fighter?” excitable UFC commentator Mike Goldberg is fond of whooping – usually when someone in the octagon (UFC bouts take place in a cage-like octagonal arena) has just taken an elbow to the face, a shin to the ribs, a punch in the kidneys or an illegal knee in the balls. ...

Mar 4, 2008

How is it that Earth is always in shambles in the near-future? If mankind hasn’t torn itself apart, then pesky alien invaders are ready to rip us a new asshole like they are in Universe at War: Earth Assault. As a 360 port of last year’s hot PC version, UaW aims to streamline controls for the console while maintaining the same experience. Anyone who’s played Command & Conquer 3 on the 360 knows just how difficult it is to ...

May 16, 2007

From Petroglyph Games, the developer's of Star Wars: Empire at War, comes another beautiful sci-fi RTS, Universe at War: Earth Assault. Following in the footsteps of other eye-popping RTS', like Supreme Commander and Command and Conquer 3, Universe at War looks ready to up the ante on the visual front another notch. Publisher Sega is currently only willing to showcase two of the game's three factions, the Novus and Hierarchy. Sneaky micromanagement masters who like to stealth around the map ...

Unreal Tournament III - hands-on (Unreal Tournament III)

Apr 18, 2008

The Xbox 360 version of futuristic uber-shooter Unreal Tournament III doesn’t have a different name. Its summer 08 release date will put it on shelves more than half a year later than the PS3 and PC versions, but this is largely the same game and not a sequel or greatly expanded version. That’s fine, because it’s a very, very good game and it comes with all the downloadables PS3 and PC players have gotten in the meantime. ...

Unreal Tournament III (Unreal Tournament III)

Apr 2, 2007

“One thing weve always found is that science-fiction kicks ass,” claims Unreal Tournament IIIs characteristically exuberant producer Jeff Morris. “Its so liberating to be able to go in and say stuff like, ‘Wouldnt it be cool if the giant robot fought the giant lizard thing? We dont have to worry that the thing never actually existed - were not trying to do the Wehrmacht in 1944.” No, theyre most certainly not. Despite the occasional nod to reality, the vibrant, ...
