Dreamcast classics coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade

Friday, 11 June 2010 Henry Dowling

Remeber back when all we could talk about was how many bits our consoles had? During the Great Console Wars it was all about 32-bit this, 64-bit that, but at the end of the day it was Sega and their Dreamcast console which suffered most. Now Sega has announced that a number of classic titles from the ill fated console are being remade for digital release on the Xbox LIVE Arcade ...

Bayonetta Review

Tuesday, 16 February 2010 Terrance Brown

Hideki Kamiya seems to have a knack for making over the top Japanese action video games, with Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe and Resident Evil all being listed on his CV. So when you load up Bayonetta and are greeted by the sight of a long haired witch wearing glasses, sucking on a lollipop and killing demons with guns strapped to her feet you shouldn't be too surprised ...

Vancouver 2010: The Official Videogame of the Winter Olympic Games Review

Monday, 15 February 2010 Henry Dowling

I love the snow. I love skiing, snowball fights and building unintentionally disfigured snowmen. So it should be no surprise then that I make a point of watching at least some of the Winter Olympics on the box when it comes around every four years. Sporting events of that magnitude always carry a sense of grandeur, an aura of expectation for greatness, and a spirit of ceremony which is all stylishly packaged for viewers at home with the usual broadcasted overexposure to sponsors' logos and corny mascots. That's the real Winter Olympics. Sadly, much of what makes the event an entertainment spectacular has either been drastically marginalized or is missing entirely in Vancouver 2010: The Official Game of the Winter Olympics ...

A new teaser trailer reveals an upcoming futuristic action title from SEGA, entitled Vanquish. It's currently in development over at Platinum Games, the same folk who had their hand in the wildly popular, Bayonetta. And that's just about all anyone knows about Vanquish so far ...

Gamers who shovelled a small fortune of coins into the original After Burner arcade game back in the good old days will be pleased to hear that Sega has revealed that the updated After Burner Climax will hit the Xbox LIVE Arcade in Autumn this year ...

Planet 51: The Game Review

Tuesday, 08 December 2009 Henry Dowling

The premise of Planet 51 holds so much potential for a fun animated romp: Instead of the usual scary green alien coming to invade poor defenseless earth, this time it's a human who has landed on an alien planet, striking fear into the hearts of the peaceful inhabitants. Add in some great voice talent (including Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Justin Long and Seann William Scott) and the now standard array of quirky characters, and you've got the recipe for some wholesome animated holiday fun. That's the movie covered. Now take the movie, tear out its charming soul and replace it with repetitive fetch-quests, bland voice acting and clumsy controls, and you are left with Planet 51: The Game ...
