halo 2

Published on: 23rd May, 2009

Halo 2 is a story-driven action-shooter game with a first-person perspective.[12] The game features an expanded range of vehicles, as well as other gameplay changes compared to its predecessor. The original Halo featured separate health and shield bars. In Halo 2, the health bar is no longer visible; instead, the player’s shield regenerates quickly when [...]

Moto GP

Published on: 21st May, 2009

For all PSP’s racers, the console is lacking a brilliant racing simulation. We’re still waiting for Gran Turismo 4 Mobile to appear but, until it does, this could well offer the precision and quality you’re looking for. Offering the full line-up of bikes, tracks and riders from the 2005 and 2006 MotoGP seasons, this is [...]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Published on: 16th May, 2009

[Editor's Note, Nov 9, 2007: We've changed this game's score from the original 9 up to a 10. The reason is simple: the more we play the game, especially against real people online, the more we grow to love it and the less we mind its few faults. It's still not perfect or even particularly [...]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hands-on

Published on: 15th May, 2009

The Turtles are back, but Vanilla Ice isn’t. That’s probably for the best, to be honest. Anyway, to complement the new CGI-heavy Turtles film that’s out this year, Ubisoft is resurrecting the pizza-eating dudes. Apparently the new film is a bit darker and edgier than previous Turtles fare (harking back to the original comics and [...]

Burnout Paradise

Published on: 14th May, 2009

The first thing that hits you is how sprawling Paradise’s map seems. Then you realise you can drive from one end to the other in only about four minutes, and around its entire circumference in about ten, and it’s a little disheartening. But then you discover just how dense Paradise City is, how much there [...]

FIFA Street 3

Published on: 14th May, 2009

FIFA Street is absurd, but not entirely unrealistic. For all its fancy flicks, deft touches and brilliant goals from impossible angles, it’s not that different from the football you think you’re playing while down the park with mates. Best of all, thanks to revised gameplay and new looks, FIFA Street 3 lets you live out [...]

Burnout Dominator

Published on: 13th May, 2009

This is a weird Burnout. It’s like Burnout: Year Zero, or Burnout Returns, a kind of re-imagining of the series that ignores the more recent developments. Lots of the innovations introduced in 2005’s Burnout: Revenge have been dumped, modes have been dropped, and features last seen in Burnout 2 have been brought back in as [...]

God of War II

Published on: 13th May, 2009

Playing as an antihero in a videogame is nothing new, but 2005′s God of War was, for many, the first time they’d been asked to play an outright villain. Protagonist Kratos never made the “right” decisions, always disposing of his enemies in the cruelest ways imaginable and murdering anyone who wasn’t of immediate use to [...]

Test Drive Unlimited

Published on: 13th May, 2009

Test Drive Unlimited is quite unlike any other driving game. How on Earth could anyone think it possible – or sane – to try and replicate a tropical paradise etched with some 1000 miles of roads, featuring no load times when roaming, accurately-rendered cars from over two-dozen manufacturers (including detailed dashboard views) and a sickening [...]

Kung Fu Panda

Published on: 12th May, 2009

With Brutal Legend’s fate still undecided, you might think us mad for recommending Kung Fu Panda as an alternative adventure starring Jack Black (not least because all the voices in this tie-in game are sadly provided by so-so stand-ins), but bear with us. First of all, we’re not so addled with bonhomie thanks to our [...]
