Another day, another racer from Black Bean and Milestone, it seems. The team behind two superbike-based titles (SBK 09 and Moto GP) are weighing in with their take on the Superstars V8 Racing series. I have to admit, I had no idea what the Supercars V8 championship is and despite a quick search on Google and Wikipedia, I still don’t. According to the game, ex-Formula One pack-chaser Gianni Morb...

It isn’t every day that a game takes a slightly political standpoint, or tries to right a wrong or change an attitude towards a class or race of people but ultimately, despite being a relatively mediocre title, Velvet Assassin does just that.
“The greatest SBK game ever!” claims the box. SBK – in case you were wondering – is the supercool acronym-style word that everyone (methinks the illiterate folks who thought of it are using it far more than any superbike fans ever would) is using to describe one of the championships in the high-speed adrenaline rush that is superbike racing. The Xbox 360 already has the stellar MotoGP ser...
Ah, another week, another game with the words “Dynasty” and “Warriors” in the title. Fortunately for KOEI, I used to kind of like the series before the games were being released once every few days. However, the words “used to” mean exactly that.
If there was anything to be said about movie tie-ins that are released during the summer months, then I’ve said it. The kids have their six-week summer break going on and about two weeks in, that stops being very fun for the parents. So, they head to the game store and pick up something that little Jimmy will love. Not a good game – oh no – but a movie tie-in based on that animated film tha...
It seems like something of a bad omen that on the day that Codemasters latest attempt at recreating an authentic leather-on-willow experience is released, England’s batsmen surrendered the entire first innings of their Ashes match for just 102 runs.
The question of how to successfully port the RTS genre to home consoles is one that is – arguably – still unanswered. Creative Assembly are the latest team to step up to the plate and have a crack at it, with Stormrise’s success hinging on their new “Whip Select” system.
Any shooter that’s released nowadays has to be absolutely top-drawer, or it just won’t get the exposure that it would have garnered in a less saturated market. Average just won’t do, and developers that take their market for granted are dropping like flies.
I’m not sure how long I had been playing Prototype for before I realised I had become immune to violence. It may have been after I slashed hundreds upon hundreds of soldiers to death with my Blade power, it may have been when I was killing dozens of civilians for health bonuses or it may have just been when I drove a tank down the pavement for no reason, crushing hundreds. If I had to hazard a ...
For the uninitiated, the Ultimate Fighting Championship is a mixed martial arts organisation, which can be read either as two men in an octagon fluidly combining mastery of various styles of combat in order to outwit their opponent, or two men in an octagon both doing their best to beat the living hell out of the other. I think to truly appreciate the sport, and this game, you need to be open to ...
