Friday Is “Egg-mergence Day”

Dec 05, 2011

As we reported last week, an 80s 8bit hero is getting set to return, bringing us a taste of retro heaven on the iPhone and Android.

Gangstar Rio: City of Saints announced

Nov 05, 2011

In Hollywood over the last few years there has been a rise in a phenomenon known as “mockbusters“. This is a movie which is released at the same time as a blockbuster, with a similar title, but direct to DVD. For example, when Michael Bay’s Transformers was released, a low budget “Transmorphers” was put out on DVD.

Football Manager 2012 (Demo): First Impressions

Oct 10, 2011

It’s safe to say I’ve been one of the people over the last week or two to be constantly monitoring the tweets of @milessi (Miles Jacobsen, MD of Sports Interactive), to see if he’ll finally give us the release date of the demo so we can all whet our appetites before the official release on October 21st. Yes, being a hardcore gamer, I am ever impatient.

REVIEW: Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters

Jul 29, 2011

Ok. Let me get this down before I suffer the wrath of a million fan boys (and gals) wearing Lantern rings on their fingers; I dislike Green Lantern, I really do. Lantern is probably my least favourite super hero. Yet, like any other super hero game, the inner geek in me wanted to play it.

REVIEW: MadCap

When I sat down to write my thoughts on MadCap I originally didn’t want to mention ‘that’ iPhone game that involves various feathered flying creatures being flung through the air towards some green swine.

Plunge into the most ambitious action RPG ever released on iOS! Become Ayden, a young hero chosen by the god Uryah to save the kingdom of Lasgalen from the Apocalypse. Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden is an amazing adventure in a majestic world that will fascinate you for countless hours.

REVIEW: Tiki Towers

Feb 20, 2011

Monkey games! What is it about monkeys and games that mix so well? Donkey Kong, Ape Escape, Enslaved, Sim City, X Factor… all great games with monkeys in them (no, not Space Chimps).

REVIEW: Star Wars: Cantina

Feb 16, 2011

Ok, I will admit it. I love Star Wars! I am not crazily fanatical about it though, but I do get a wee bit excited when I see a Star Wars branded video game. I am also very tolerant when Star Wars do something rubbish. In fact I go on record and say I actually quite like Ewok’s, and even Jar Jar Binks (it would be wude not to really). So my tolerance level is very, very high (hums the theme to myself).

REVIEW: Flight Control

Feb 16, 2011

Mobile phone games are not exactly the greatest time wasters in the universe. I have recently swapped out an iphone for the Windows phone and would admit that I was not expecting much from the games available.
