Cursed Mountain review (WII)Reviewed on October 12, 2009When you hear the inconsolable sobbing of a woman – like her head is resting right on your shoulder – it begs for attention. There are also frequent wisps of ghosts seen just trailing off the screen or creeping around a corner, inviting you to follow. These eerie elements both repel and attract, a perfect quality for any horror-driven game. |

Alex Kidd: High-Tech World review (SMS)Reviewed on October 12, 2009When it came time to make a sequel to the successful Super Mario Brothers, Japan got what looked like, at first glance, a simple expansion. However, when people actually tried playing it, they were thrown off by the sudden increase in difficulty. It looked like SMB, but it played like a different beast: enemies were placed in cruel spots, purple mushrooms instantly killed with a simple touch, platforms were harder to make, and warps sent you back to earlier levels. Essentially, Super Mario Bros.... |

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 review (PS3)Reviewed on October 11, 2009More of the same. That’s my summary for those of you with short attention spans. If more of the same is what you’re looking for in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, then you won’t be disappointed. For the rest of you, you can still have fun with the formula, if you have the right group of people. |

The King of Fighters XII review (X360)Reviewed on October 11, 2009There are better fighting games out there today, and if you really insist on wanting to check this series out, don’t start with this one. |

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story review (DS)Reviewed on October 10, 2009The king has been dethroned. Manipulated, betrayed, and forced out of his own castle. His military has been decimated; everyone has been either slaughtered or brainwashed into following the new regime. His few remaining supporters have gone into hiding. The common folk are falling prey to a disease spread by the invaders. And the worst part? All of the realm’s heroes are gone…and it’s the king’s fault. He ate them. The princess and her servants, too. Swallowed them whole, and left them to... |

DiRT 2 review (PS3)Reviewed on October 10, 2009Designed for thrill-seeking racing fans that embrace the idea of bending rules (specifically those involving the survival rate of accidents), DiRT 2 is everything the first game was and more. |

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Commander's Challenge review (X360)Reviewed on October 10, 2009This extension of the popular Command and Conquer installment is well worth your time and attention. |

Cutie Suzuki no Ringside Angel review (GEN)Reviewed on October 09, 2009Let me say this now, so I can get it out of the way. I loathe the concept behind Cutie Suzuki no Ringside Angel. Sixteen-bit imagery or no, I see it as nothing more than a show to please men who have nothing better to do than watch scantily-clad women beat each other senseless in a series of wrestling matches. It just disgusts me. Everything. From the “professional” wrestlers often dressed in naught but a bikini to the dumb blonde disguised as a Playboy Bunny that hands out the tro... |

Final Doom review (MAC)Reviewed on October 09, 2009Hell, in just one courtyard, you'll first have to deal with a legion of Mancubi while a few Revenants are aiming their missiles at you from higher ground. Finish them off and hit a couple of switches and a bunch of Arachnotrons make their presence felt. Dispose of them and flip a couple more switches to trigger a massive Cacodemon invasion. All in all, this is a very exhilarating series of battles and it's only one tiny part of this massive, combat-heavy level. |

Minerva: Metastasis review (PC)Reviewed on October 08, 2009It proved fitting that, by the end of Minerva: Metastasis, the glare of its initial daylight had given way to a cold dusk, the sun barely clinging on to the horizon. When I emerged from the game, exhausted and blinking, it turned out the same was true in real life. Four hours had disappeared, and it was night time. |

General Chaos review (GEN)Reviewed on October 08, 2009I'm a huge strategy fan, so imagine my delight when I was chosen to review General Chaos for the Sega Megadrive. Its one of the founding fathers of the genre and a lot of RTS details we're now all familiar with made their premier here. Players take control of either General Chaos or his nemesis General Havoc as each team tries to capture their opponent's capital city. You can jump into battles instantly, although there's also an option to play on a large, extremely simplified, RISK-type m... |

Streets of Fury review (X360)Reviewed on October 08, 2009They're designed and animated using digitalized actors (kind of like Mortal Kombat), which was an interesting choice to say the least. And occasionally comical, as when certain foes go down, they tend to fall as gingerly as possible, as if the actor was thinking, "Gotta be careful! Don't want to bruise my hip or anything making this look good!" |

Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 3 - Lair of the Leviathan review (PC)Reviewed on October 08, 2009The simplicity of most of the tasks means Lair of the Leviathan ends up being a little shorter than the rest of Tales thus far, but it's not really an issue when the episode feels so well directed, tight and polished. It's the most solid of the series, certainly, and if Telltale can maintain this level of quality while ramping the humour back up to its highest standards, the final two episodes might as well set sail for the shores of greatness. |

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 review (PS3)Reviewed on October 07, 2009As part of the remake's emphasis on "enjoyable experience" above "ball-busting brutality", the scenery and characters have been gorgeously revamped; the rooftop view of Mount Fuji left me speechless, and the moonlit Tokyo gardens left me breathless. These backdrops are populated by high-resolution ninjas, demons, and robotic spider-women. Unfortunately, even though the basics are beautiful, some of the details don't quite fit. |

Drawn: The Painted Tower review (PC)Reviewed on October 07, 2009For people who haven't played an adventure game before, this title could serve as a decent starting point and a solid representation of its genre, but unfortunately there's not much on offer for the more hardcore adventure fan. |

Zombie Apocalypse review (X360)Reviewed on October 07, 2009While Zombie Apocalypse is never particularly enjoyable, one thing I can say is that if you do play it you should do so with company. The presence of other zombie hunters alleviates some of the game's mediocrity, plus everything gets easier. Alone, it can literally become impossible to deal with every zombie. When others join in the cause, however, things change. Provided you have some semi-competent partners (and I don't really see why that wouldn't be the case), most of the game becomes laughably simple. |

Risen review (X360)Reviewed on October 06, 2009There’s moments in Risen that can quite take you by surprise. Moments where you find yourself regarding the virtual world as a living, breathing entity. That alone is worth some measure of admiration. |
