  • Aces of the Galaxy
    Every twitch-addicted shoot ‘em up fan had to start somewhere. Me? I cut my teeth back in the 70s when most of you were still a devilish glint in the milkman’s eye with the relatively plodding but relentless pace of Space Invaders. Since then I’ve fallen in love hook line and sinker with the genre and along the rocky road to Aces of the Galaxy I’ve seen things…that you...

  • Assault Heroes 2
    Sierra’s Assault Heroes was actually a rather nice little XBLA game, using the now well-worn twin-stick shooting style action so beloved of XBLA titles to good effect. Harking back to the old Amiga / ST days in style, but with plenty of graphical polish, it was definitely among the more pleasing games to arrive on ye olde Xbox Live Arcade. Skip forward in time and Assault...

  • Lost Cities
    Weirdly there’s one thing that works really well on the Xbox Live Arcade, the turn-based game. We’ve already seen Settlers of Catan, and Carcasonne take XBLA by storm, now it’s the turn of Lost Cities, a card-based strategy game harking back to 1999. Sierra Online has given Reiner Knizia’s award-winning card game the XBLA treatment, and though the game may seem complicated...

  • The Spiderwick Chronicles
    Something unpleasant lurks at the bottom of the garden… When Spiderwick Chronicles dropped through the letterbox, it couldn’t have been at a better time. With an unruly niece and nephew currently visiting, I seized the chance (after asking their mum’s permission of course) to co-write this review with Emily (8) and Adam (5) in order to see the game from...

  • Arkadian Warriors
    Arkadian Warriors is one of those titles that harkens back to the old hack and slash role play games, such as Diablo. This is a basic dungeon crawler where you will talk to a person in town and he will tell you about the current plight that the town is facing and will ask for your assistance. After you accept the quest you will enter a portal where a randomly generated...

  • Crash of the Titans
    The 360 is not over-endowed with cute platform games. This is undoubtedly down to the market. I am guessing that you, like me, did not buy your 360 for Sonic or Mario-style action. If one came along that grabbed the next-generation of gaming by the scruff of the neck, well that would be a bonus, but for now, give me Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed and Mass Effect and I’ll...
