DMC (Devil May Cry) Re-Booted with a Western Feel

1:46pm Thursday 7th February 2013

The series is one of Capcom biggest IPs having first been introduced at the beginning of the century in 2001. The main protagonist, Dante, became easily recognisable with his distinctive long white hair. Capcom released four titles in the original series and when the hardcore fans heard about the new revamp and saw Dante’s new image, they were not amused to say the least. DMC has been given the thumps up by most of the critics but fans of the original series seem to be voicing their opinions with what I feel is very unjustified comments.

Mario Makes are return on the 3DS

10:00am Saturday 12th January 2013

Everyone has played a Mario game and if you haven’t then well please leave the room now! You clearly aren’t a gamer of any kind. As a kid I remember owning Super Mario All-Stars and the massively popular Super Nintendo (SNES) and spending endless hours on the various Mario games included on the cartridge.

Lego LOTR Game Review

4:22pm Monday 3rd December 2012

. The first Lego title TT released was seven years ago when they released Star Wars which ended up being one of the biggest selling games of the PS2. This opened up a whole world of opportunities to covert some of the biggest movie franchises into Lego sets and games. Since on top of the Star Wars trilogy we’ve been presented with Lego Indiana Jones, Batman, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean and now we finally have Lord of the Rings!

Bond makes a return to console in 007 Legends

5:22pm Wednesday 28th November 2012

Now with the new film Skyfall out and the James Bond label celebrating its 50th birthday on the big screen, Activision decided to jump on the bandwagon to do a bit of a tribute and celebration for Mr Bond. They decided to create a game that would feature a level from each of the 6 Bond actors and finally set their sets on creating a level for Sean Connery’s “Goldfinger”, George Lazenby’s “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”, Roger Moore’s “Moonraker”, Timothy Dalton’s “Licensed to Kill” Pierce Brosnan’s “Die Another Day” and finally a Daniel Craig’s “Skyfall” level that would be released as a DLC. The catch is you play as Daniel Craig for all the levels and not the iconic actors that made those films their own.

For what I remember seeing in the original Borderlands, 2K and Gearbox software have really stuck to a similar model for the second title and so they should seeing as people loved the first one so all they needed to do was impress the core fans and the rest would jump on to.

Resident Evil comes back to scare us once more

1:41pm Saturday 20th October 2012

What Capcom have done with the Resident Evil series is keep together a very strong group of appealing characters right from the start. In Resident Evil 6 you get to play along as some very familiar faces, you don’t get any bigger than having Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield both playable in the same Resident Evil game!
