Viking: Battle For AsgardKnowing very little about Viking legends I came to Viking: Battle for Asgard without any elevated expectations of how good the story should be or how strictly it should stick to legends. This was definitely a blessing in disguise as the delivery of what should have been a very interesting tale is, to be frank, awful. After a very short (but superbly voiced) intro from...by Joe Bennett at June 15th, 2009 at 04:06 pm
Gran Turismo 5 PrologueYou only need to read a few forum posts to think that the word ‘Prologue’ means ‘demo’. It doesn’t obviously, but that doesn’t stop many uninformed people complaining about having to pay for a demo. Were they complaining that the online version from the PSN store is more expensive than the retail version in most places, they would have a point. I understand the reason...by Joe Bennett at June 15th, 2009 at 04:06 pm-
Gaming for the Adrenalin JunkieExperience the rush of reaching a final table at a major poker tournament, where the prize money reaches 6 figures and you need nerves of steel to keep your cool. Certainly not for the faint-hearted when your own money is at stake. Poker games for all kinds of players from experienced pros to beginners starting out on a new adventure. 
Rocketmen: Axis of EvilHaving already played through the 360 version, I’ve also had a good go at the PS3 version of the game. For those of you that don’t fancy nipping over to Totally360 to see what I thought, here’s a revisited review to see how the PS3 version fares. As you may know, Rocketmen: Axis of Evil is based on the extensible tabletop game by Wizkids. The tabletop game is a heady mix...by Neil Vaughan at June 15th, 2009 at 04:06 pm
The ClubWe’re a bit late with our review of The Club. Don’t blame us, blame late review code and a Polish lorry driver wiping me out of action for a few days last week (and my car for a lot longer). Still the delay has enabled us to hear countless new-age journalists waffle on about The Club being less of a third-person shooter and more like a racing game. ‘Three parts shooter...by Joe Bennett at June 15th, 2009 at 04:06 pm
Unreal Tournament 3There was once a time when porting a successful PC FPS game to a console led to major disappointment. Half Life and Half Life 2 (the latter being the earlier XBOX release, not the new Orange Box) were big disappointments, where they clearly worked much better with a keyboard and mouse and the vastly improved hardware that the PC afforded them. There was even a sub-standard...by Neil Vaughan at June 10th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Dynasty Warriors 6Following hot on the heels of our Samurai Warriors: Katana review for the Wii this week comes Dynasty Warriors 6 for the PS3. Taking part in a tale focussing mainly on Luo Guanzhong’s epic ‘Romance of the Three Kingdoms’, you’re job is to button-mash your way through literally thousands of enemies in order to bring peace back to the land. If you’ve played any of the previous...by Neil Vaughan at June 10th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
NFL TourNFL Street was a bit of a mixed bag in terms of reception. Those over the pond in the States seemed to lap it up, whereas most of the European press seemed to find it mildly entertaining but were mainly thrilled by the fact that they didn’t have to pretend that they understood the rules of the game. So as a result, NFL Street garnered a bit of a following for its OTT moves,...by Neil Vaughan at June 10th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Guitar Hero IIII’ve made a promise to myself that I’m not going to mention the “these amps go up to eleven!” line through this entire review, so here goes… Guitar Hero 3, while being the third real instalment in the Guitar Hero series, is actually the first title to be developed by Activision instead of Harmonix, the latter now going on to develop the rival game Rock Band....by Neil Vaughan at June 9th, 2009 at 04:06 pm
WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2008A lot of the time, I tend to base my opinions on wrestling games by the quality of the Afro haircut they have in the CAW (Create-a-wrestler) mode. For example, Legends of Wrestling didn’t have one, and it was a bit naff, Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth did, and that was one of the best wrestling games ever. Unfortunately, I can’t really have an unbiased review only based...by Neil Vaughan at June 9th, 2009 at 03:06 pm
