Just under two years ago, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was released for the PlayStation 3, and it caused a storm, most notably for the cinematic experience it provided. The game was not without its flaws of course, and developer Naughty Dog certainly had their work cut out tweaking the mechanics while maintaining the experience that the original provided. Did they manage to pull it off? Well, you’re about to find out. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves follows the adventures of fortune-hunter, Nathan Drake, as he embarks on an expedition to locate the lost fleet of Marco Polo and the mythical...

The game has your standard side-scrolling brawler format, consisting of six missions split...

The backlash from taking the rally purist’s beloved Colin McRae series and plunging it deeper into the murky mainstream waters is something that Codemasters were well aware of. It is a risk they decided to take however, the question is of course, did they manage to pull it off? Well let us start with what I am sure you would agree is an integral part of any game, the menu. Rather than have the standard and rather boring menu layout we are used to, Codemasters have adopted the ‘virtual world’ system that they used in GRID. Navigating through the menus has you walking around your racer’s...

Cohort Studios recently released the third addition to the Buzz! Junior collection available on the PlayStation Network for only £3.99. Just like Jungle Party and RoboJam, Monster Rumble is a remake of its PlayStation 2 counterpart. The game features updated high definition (720p) visuals, trophy support and also the ability to use the standard DualShock controllers along with the official Buzz! controllers. If you hadn’t guessed from the title of the game, Buzz! Junior: Monster Rumble is aimed primarily at small children, and it certainly goes all out to appeal to that target demographic....

Zombies seem to be going down a storm with gamers right now, with titles such as Resident Evil 5 and Left 4 Dead becoming very popular titles. Even the Call of Duty series decided to milk it, with the co-op ‘nazi zombies’ mode featured in World at War. You would think then, that Tripwire Interactive were capitalising on this too, and although there is some truth to that, Killing Floor was actually released as a Unreal Tournament 2004 mod four years ago. The game has a typical zombie apocalypse storyline, revolving around a British biotech corporation called ‘Horzine’. The company was...

“Behold: the blue team’s Castle. The walls are paper thin, as well as jumpable by means of catapult or trampoline. The entrance has revolving doors, and there are hidden shortcuts that reach all the way across the map in every direction. Only thing left now is to storm in and Rescue the Princess. We cannot lose! Charge!” Meanwhile, outside the red team’s Castle… “Behold: paper thin walls…”. Like the adorably ruthless art- style, the gameplay in Fat princess is simplistic on the surface, but increasingly mental the more you look at the detail. Choose...

I certainly don’t have very high expectations for downloadable titles, but it couldn’t be helped when EA and DICE revealed they were releasing Battlefield 1943. At only $15 USD (£10 GBP), and weighing in at a little over 500MB, we can’t expect the full Battlefield experience, but has the game managed to capture the core gameplay which makes the series so popular? In Battlefield 1943, you fight as either the Japanese Imperial Army, or the US Marine Corps. There are three different classes for you to pick, Infantry, Rifleman and Scout, each bringing something to the table to suit different...

Wheel of Fortune, one of the most popular and longest running TV game shows, it was no surprise when Sony Online Entertainment acquired the rights to port it over onto the PlayStation Network. Did their spin of the wheel land on the ‘Jackpot’ or ‘Bankrupt’ wedge though? You’re about to find out. Graphics The graphics for the game are good, but nothing special. The several sets add a bit of variety to the backdrop, and stay true to the ‘extravagant’ theme of the show. The character models look decent enough, but there are several issues with the animation, such...

Resident Evil is a highly popular franchise stemming back from the first game in 1996 and has come a long way since then but has it gone too far?
