Wheelman (Review)

 

Published 3/31/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

If Vin Diesel wants to turn Wheelman into a movie he’s going to have to stump up a budget of about $5 billion. That should just about cover the hundreds of cars that explode, the thousands of objects that get flattened, and the special ...

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time (Review)

 

Published 3/31/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

Call us musty old role-playing traditionalists, but the first thing we generally do after a monster drops an item is cram it in our over-stuffed invisible backpacks. We don’t, for instance, wear it on our heads, like Echoes of Time’s ...

Samurai Shodown Anthology (Review)

 

Published 3/25/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

The great trouble with a lot of SNK games is that due to the exorbitant cost of the Neo Geo consoles and cartridges, pretty much no one got a chance to play them when they first came out. It’s only now, through downloads and retro ...

WWE Legends of WrestleMania (Review)

 

Published 3/25/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

We assume there are two types of people reading this review: those who haven’t kept up with wrestling but are curious if this new game is worth it and those who are big fans of the SmackDown series and are wondering how the controls stack up. ...

Pokemon Platinum (Review)

 

Published 3/23/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

It’s a cycle nearly as old as time itself: two marginally different Pokemon games are released, and then a year or so later a third version comes out that compiles the few differences between the two and renders them both obsolete. Red/Blue ...

BattleForge (Review)

 

Published 3/20/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

Last summer I sold a load of old Topps cards on eBay. What was striking was (a) the prices people were willing to pay for cards of shaggy-haired Belgian soccer players, and (b) how many decade-old unopened packets are up for sale. How could anyone ...

Ceville (Review)

 

Published 3/19/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

A French adventure that’s aiming at the comedy end of the market. Things don’t bode well, do they? Ceville isn’t as annoying as you might imagine, but this isn’t a game for those with an ounce of cynicism in their bodies, ...

Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure (Review)

 

Published 3/18/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

You know what causes the downfall of an empire? Academics cite socio-political reasons, but we know the truth: a lack of save points. Men like Henry Hatsworth set out to discover lost treasures and plunder their way round the world, but ...

Grand Ages: Rome (Review)

 

Published 3/18/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

The Romans are a rich source of gaming jollity, what with all their politics and warfare, big cities and preoccupation with violent entertainment. So it’s a bit of a shame, then, that all the games we get based on this part of history tend to ...

LIT (Review)

 

Published 3/18/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

WiiWare survival horror, eh? Stranded in a school (sounds scary already) with all the lights off, Jake’s dropped into the Lit world with no backstory or tutorial. Luckily, it’s easy to pick up. ...

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard (Review)

 

Published 3/18/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault (Review)

 

Published 3/18/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

Soviet Assault doesn’t do anything to change 2007’s excellent Cold-War-gone-hot RTS. Instead, it weaves six new multi-part missions directly into the original campaign, so you play as both the invading Soviets and the defending US and ...

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

This, friends, is a beautiful game. Glancing back at last year’s game, which we loved, we discover that the few niggles we did have are ironed out in the 2009 offering. If you were a fan of 2008, there are sufficient advances both on and off ...

Watchmen: The End is Nigh (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

Watchmen - the comic book - is one of the artistic high points of the form. Watchmen - the movie based on the comic book - is a fairly close reproduction of the graphic novel, with some mostly forgivable divergences. Watchmen: The End is Nigh - the ...

MLB 09: The Show (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

Sony’s baseball franchise has been rocking our socks for years now, lighting up our old reliable PS2 season after season. The development team has squeezed just about everything imaginable out of the venerable hardware, and the result has ...

Resistance: Retribution (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

Retribution does the best it can with the PSP’s single analog stick. It maps aiming to the face buttons and indulges you with a generous amount of aim assist – but it still feels far from an ideal solution. It’s a shame really, ...

Phantasy Star Portable (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

There are certain things we expect in portable games. Quick bursts of gameplay and enough variety to hold our attention until the next stop are crucial elements to gaming on the commute. Hey, even being able to pause is nice. Phantasy Star Portable ...

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

By now most of you have peeped that score on the final page and have zipped back over here to call us liars, jerks and harbingers of molten bias. We’re half kidding of course, because a great many you are mostly curious to see how the hell ...

Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

If there were dieticians for videogame consoles, their diagnosis for the DS would be, "you're very healthy, but I think you should cut down on the RPGs. It seems like you have one every week and half the time they're just remakes filled with empty ...

Death Tank - Xbox Live Arcade (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

Part remake and part total reboot of the original Saturn minigame, Death Tank is a superb real-time twist on Worms and one of Live Arcade’s best online games. But it’s disgracefully overpriced. ...

The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga (Review)

3 on 3 NHL Arcade - Xbox Live Arcade (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

There are no real sound effects in this game. Kind of. Instead of the harsh clank of puck on ice you now get the noise of a bored EA developer sat at his desk making swoosh noises. And ‘Hup’, ‘Oip’ and ‘Florp!’ ...

Noby Noby Boy (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

Like Linger in Shadows and Flower before it, Noby Noby Boy is a PSN game without missions, objectives, enemies – and some might say a point or a purpose. You’re either going to view it as one of the most addictive titles you’ll ...

Codename: Panzers - Cold War (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

While in reality the Cold War was won by diplomacy and economics, real-time strategy contender Codename Panzers: Cold War has decided that’s boring. Real wars are fought with bullets and dying. Thus, history must be re-written. Basically, ...

MadWorld (Review)

 

Published 3/17/2009 at GamesRadar - Reviews

Madworld is the definition of Grindhouse gaming, inspired as much by movie directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez as games gone by. With striking monochrome visuals spattered with gobbets of gore and enough violence to keep the ...
