8-bit meets HD in a remade classic 0

Space Invaders Extreme was originally released on the PSP and DS in 2008 to mark the 30th anniversary of the arcade classic and it quickly found its niche as a superb pick-up-and-play action title for the portable systems. Taito has breathed new life into the game this year by hiring emulation specialists Backbone Entertainment to give it a fresh coat of HD paint for Xbox Live Arcade. "A familiar look and sound" The look of the game closely resembles other high intensity games on XBLA, such as R...

Drift into a sunny arcade classic. 1

OutRun has long been one of SEGA's classic arcade racers alongside an impressive collection which includes games like Super Hang On, Crazy Taxi, Daytona and SEGA Rally. What makes it stand out from the rest of this mammoth portfolio is its complete polish and precision. This is one series that SEGA clearly still cares about deeply. The latest title in the series is OutRun Online Arcade, an Xbox Live Arcade and PSN game which takes its content from the PS2 and PSP game, OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast...

A nice piece of nostalgia for Sega fans 0

Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection is a compilation of 49 first-party games released for the Sega Genesis console in the 1980s and ‘90s. The major selling point, as the title suggests, is that the collection contains emulations of all of the Sonic The Hedgehog games released on the system, including Spinball and 3D Blast. On top of the must-have Sonic games, the collection also contains almost all of the Sega-developed Genesis titles you could wish for. These include classics like Streets of Ra...

Not fast enough. Not furious enough 2

Since the release of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay on the original Xbox in 2004, Tigon Studios and their founder, Hollywood star - Vin Diesel, have set the standard for videogame movie tie-ins. Their latest project, Wheelman, stars Diesel once again, but takes a very different direction and also produces vastly different results. You play as Milo Burik (Vin Diesel in voice and appearance), an undercover CIA agent and "wheelman," essentially a high-end getaway driver. Your ro...

A prime of example of just how powerful the PS3 really is 0

It's been a long time coming, but after a 4 year wait, Killzone 2 is finally out on store shelves. Developed by Guerrilla Games, this is a PlayStation 3 exclusive sci-fi FPS, set in a galactic war between two human colonies, the ISA and the Helghast. This time around, the ISA are launching an invasion of the Helghast homeworld in response to their invasion of the ISA planet Vekta in the original Killzone. Ok, so let's get the obvious stuff out of the way. Killzone 2 looks beautiful and is comfo...

Great premise that is never completely fulfilled 0

The original Resistance: Fall of Man was a flagship PS3 launch title for Sony. The sequel comes at a time when the market's most expensive system is crying out for another killer-app in the wake of the astounding Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots. Does Resistance 2 fit the bill? Scale is turned up to 11 in R2Following on immediately after the end of the first game, R2 finds our hero, Nathan Hale, as a squad leader in a team of elite soldiers who have all survived Chimeran infection. You...

"Kept you waitin' huh?" 0

Over the last twenty years the Metal Gear series has influenced and changed the action / adventure genre with every new entry in the series. Without it, stealth-action would not exist and story-telling in games would not be what it is today. Metal Gear needed a final chapter fitting of its great legacy and that's exactly what Hideo Kojima has given to it. From the very beginning you get that special atmosphere only a Metal Gear game can create, starting with the familiar gunshot echo upon selec...
