Megpoid The Music Review Sony PSP
Hatsune Miku is a character that will be familiar to many of those who follow Japanese media and entertainment on any real level, but of most importance to the majority of us is the games that have featured the all-singing, all-dancing vocaloid. A rival has appeared on the horizon though in the form of Gumi and her vehicle, Megpoid the Music, on PSP. Is she a pretender to the vocaloid crown, or do we have a genuine Miku-beater?

Katamari Damacy Review - Sony PS2
Imagine a game where collection is taken to the extreme. Where global domination is achieved not through the clenched fist or the jackboot, but through the rolling-up of the planet – from the minutiae of insects and garden furniture right up to the colossal continents themselves. Imagine a game where bulldozers, men in bear costumes, Giraffes and Baseball stadia get compacted into a ball to create stars in the firmament. And there you have Katamari Damashii.

9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors Review - Nintendo DS
Opening with your narrator waking groggily in an unfamiliar room, your instruction is clear and one that is repeated throughout the game – seek a way out. When a nearby porthole cracks and starts taking on water, and the only door is soon realised to be locked, the emergence of this instruction soon becomes apparent... And yet how did you even get there? Whilst barely treading the waters before a figurative dive-bomb in at the deep end, this first impression of 999 sets the tone for the forthcoming...

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Review - Microsoft Xbox360
Speed. Gimme what I need. Yeah, white lightning, let's speed, on speed, on wheels, on wheels. Everyone loves a good racing game. Unfortunately for Electronic Arts, the last few iterations of the Need for Speed franchise have proven to be lukewarm, subzero even. Hence it has turned to Criterion, known for its Burnout franchise, to resurrect the fortunes of this series and put it back on track.
Career mode is where the meat of the game lies. Racers will compete in four different events: strai... -

AZITO 3D Review - Nintendo 3DS
Batman had his Batcave, Superman had his Fortress of Solitude, Oscar had his rubbish bin... As if you out there haven't thought or fantastised about building your own secret base at some point in your life. That is what the Azito (azito/ajito ~ "secret base") series of games are all about, and with AZITO 3D Hamster brings one of the more heroic / villainous resource management games to not just the first of the series on the 3DS, but any Nintendo console.
Naturally, the constru... -

Say What You See: The Collection - iOS / Android
It's good, but it's not right. If you didn't read that in Roy Walker's voice, then you clearly never saw him hosting Catchphrase. With it being one of the best quiz shows the UK has ever produced, it certainly sucks to be you.
In it, contestants were tasked with solving Rebus puzzles; pictures or series' of pictures that can be translated to form words and, er, catchphrases. For example a scene that shows Mr Chips walking on the words “WILD SIDE” will of course represent the catchphrase, “wa... -

Cyber-Troopers Virtual-On Force Review - Microsoft Xbox360
With such a mouthful of a title, you could certainly be forgiven for asking what’s in a name. “Virtual-On” is a flashback to Sega naming days of yore, where their AM divisions were pushing out ground-breaking 3D titles one after another; however with Virtua Fighter, Striker, Cop, Racing and so forth, you at least had a fighting chance of working something out about the game from the title. Thankfully, the “Cyber Troopers” prefix in this case is a touch more descriptive, with the object...

Metroid: Other M Review - Nintendo Wii
Atmosphere can be described as the dominant tone or mood of a work of art. Perhaps initially the Metroid series eschewed over-the-top storytelling because of the limitations of its host hardware. Yet by the time Samus Aran had reached the Super Nintendo her adventures were intentionally being told in an isolated, claustrophobic and alien way. This method of presentation was so well received by gamers that when Samus had her first reboot, courtesy of Retro Studios, they kept the feeling of isolation...

Screwbreaker Goshin Drillero Drill Dozer Review - Nintendo GBA
It’s a fact of life that heavy machinery and power tools fascinate kids of all ages. Dumper trucks, JCB diggers and circular saws are all sources of inspiring awe and symbolise raw constructive (or in the wrong hands, destructive) power. However, one item that is relegated to the back of the queue for adulation is the humble drill. There aren’t many drill fetishists out there, but those who are more than partial to a Black and Decker power tool will certainly go nuts over Screwbreaker.
