Just Dance 3 is the latest in the line of top selling dancing games from Ubisoft. Previous incarnations have used the motion based controller method to track body movements, but with the release of Kinect we can now do away with the controller and allow the camera to track all of our body movements as we dance away in the comfort our front rooms. At least in theory, that’s how it should work. ...

Don’t you just love the smell of chainsaw oil in the morning? Yes, the brutal Lancer has returned along with the eponymous Gears to conclude Epic’s blockbuster trilogy. Gears of War 3 is the first major AAA title truly marking the end of the summer games drought, yes, Christmas is coming, but has it come early in the shape of a massive Xbox 360 exclusive that lives up to the hype? &nb...
I’m going to be very honest with you all. Trackmania 2 is quite possibly one of the most straightforward racing games I have ever had the joy of playing. And by straightforward, I do really mean it when I say that this is “pick up and play” at its finest. In a genre bursting with Simulation racers and hardcore realism, Trackmania 2 is a welcome change from all the seriousness, c...
“As the crow flies”, Newcastle is 5148 miles from San Francisco. However, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Reflections studio was situated right in the heart of the Bay Area itself, given the love and care with which the city has been recreated in game. And that is probably a good thing, seeing as you are going to be spending a lot of time viewing San Francisco from a bir...
Another big name Marvel film is just around the corner, and right on cue another Marvel superhero makes the transition from the silver screen to your console via Sega. Previous outings from Marvel’s characters have created a feeling that we will be treated to another below average title, hastily rushed out in time for the movie and prepared to live off the hype rather than quality to sell copi...
I’m going to reveal a well-kept secret; I am in fact a black belt at No-can-do – I have the power to tear the skin off a grape and can punch my way out of a wet paper bag, without breaking into a sweat. So when we got a chance to test Griptonite’s Kung Fu Panda 2 I leapt at the chance and followed through with a flying roundhouse kick. The first very important point you need to be aware o...
The highlight of any family trip to the beach was always the visit into the arcade hall. Amongst the flashing lights and thumping music my ears could always pick up the faint sound of “easy left, easy right, jump.” This familiar sound of a Sega Rally arcade machine had the magical effect of making a grumpy teenager smile from ear to ear. 50 pence pieces acquired, I was off to strap myself int...
Dear reader, I sit here at my keyboard a shattered wreck of my former self, a mere shell of a once exuberant casual gamer. For the past two weeks I have come up against one of the toughest challenges of my life, I have wept with exhaustion, experienced periods of elation and joy, to only then find myself pummelled into the dust once more. There were times when I just couldn’t go any further...
With a low retail price and the promise of consistent downloadable content to keep the game fresh THQ are taking a gamble with this latest release from the popular MX vs. ATV franchise. Almost a stripped back-to-basics incarnation, rather than the natural progression of taking everything that was good and building on it. Fans of the series expecting everything in the last title being improved and...
The Ark. In the biblical story, the Ark was one of the earliest symbols of survival and salvation. In a roundabout way, it is fitting that Brink has its own Ark, which to an extent, represents the same things in this futuristic setting, as it did in the time of Noah. To cut a long story short, the game depicts the civil war currently raging between the two dominant factions residing in the city; ...
