  • The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom (Review)

    As much as we love reenacting the same male power fantasy over and over again (i.e. curb stomping aliens and blowing shit up), it’s nice to sit down and enjoy a game that’s far less heavy handed.  In this indie-developed breath of fresh air, you play PB Winterbottom: the dastardly pie thief of Bakersburg. ...

  • Resonance of Fate (Review)

    While Final Fantasy tries to be progressive by appealing to the masses – simplifying and streamlining to the point where where some series’ fans are feeling left out – Resonance of Fate raises an eyebrow and then heads in completely the opposite direction. ...

  • Metro 2033 (Review)

    You’re crouched in a corner clutching your AK-47 with both hands. You’re down to your last magazine. Five monsters are trying to get a lock on your scent in the next room and just beyond them a group of Nazis are sitting at their sentry post waiting for movement. You should have saved some ammunition but you blew it all  to buy a sniper rifle at the last outpost. Nietzschean law doesn’t apply: what doesn’t kill ...

  • Toy Soldiers (Review)

    We adore the tower defense genre, but if there’s one thing that drives us batty, it’s when our idiotic sentries auto-aim at the wrong enemies. This is still a bit of a bother in Toy Soldiers, but this XBLA tower defense game submits itself to your control in a refreshing, relieving way: you can take direct control your constructions and choose exactly which target to blast into melted plastic shrapnel. ...

  • MLB 2K10 (Review)

    Last year’s baseball offering from 2K Sports took lots of heat from critics and the public. Some of it was deserved, some was just piling-on, but most agreed that MLB 2K9 was a work in progress. Within hours of playing its successor, it became obvious that the development team behind MLB 2K10 answered the call and gave us a vastly improved product. ...

  • Mega Man 10 (Review)


    Producing Mega Man 9 with the style and production values of the original ’80s NES games was such a successful stroke of genius for Capcom that it’s no surprise to see the game followed swiftly by a sequel in much the same vein. ...

  • MLB 10 The Show (Review)


    Like your smokin’ hot yet tragically bipolar ex-girlfriend, MLB 10 The Show will seduce you one minute only to kick you in the groin the next. Sony’s first-party hardball gem is a feast for the eyes and playground for the baseball-obsessed, yet delights in torturing you. Whether or not that translates into “hurts” or “hurts so good” depends upon your patience and dedication. ...

  • Yakuza 3 (Review)

    If nothing else, Sega’s Japanese crime ‘em up is monstrously ambitious. Part adventure game, part old school scrapper, it’s the breadth of Yakuza 3’s robust minigames that makes it really stand out. Can’t be assed with the main story mode? No problem. Why not play golf, go fishing, take part in UFC-style cage competitions, bowl or go all Dog the Bounty Hunter and capture crooks? Hell, you can even sing karaoke in a Tokyo bar while off your ...

  • Max & the Magic Marker (Review)


    You’d think more people did art in school judging by the popularity of physics-based drawing games, a genre to which Max & the Magic Marker is the latest entrant. ...

  • Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Review)


    We want to like this game, we really do. Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon has plenty going for it, after all – and not just a page-occupyingly long name. It’s an eerie, melancholy game world punctuated with moments of subtle beauty that will make you want to hold it tenderly, like a wounded kitten. ...

  • Excitebike: World Rally (Review)


    Loading up Excitebike: World Rally this week was like opening up the floodgates and unleashing a deluge of warm, fuzzy 80s gaming nostalgia. This faithfully designed remake of what was arguably one of the best 8-bit racers on the NES captures the pure essence and spirit of the original. The visual updates and online multiplayer modes catch this classic up to present times, but it’s really surprising how little the actual gameplay has changed ...

  • Calling (Review)


    Legend tells of an online forum populated by the dead. Forumites, faces gaunt with a deathly pallor, lure you in with smileys, before plunging the knife in your back. But enough about ngamer.co.uk. Ho ho. We’re talking about The Black Page, an allegedly haunted chat room. You log in, LOL, ROFL, pretend to be a 17-year-old girl, meet a ghost. Wait. G-g-ghost?! Turns out the dead have pretty reliable internet access. ...
