Nintendo is making a habit of forcing early 3DS adopters to make do with remastered versions of old games while they wait for the company’s big guns to materialise at the tail end of the year. We already had the admittedly excellent Ocarina of Time 3D back in June, and now Nintendo has unleashed Star Fox 64 3D upon the 3DS faithful. However, whereas the remastered adventure to rescue the land of Hyrule offered players a tweaked-to-perfection nostalgia trip through…
I’m feeling a bit tired, I don’t know whether it is the expo, or that I have just come back from a few drinks down Leicester Square, but I am still looking forward to the last day of the Eurogamer Expo. Read on after the jump for a roundup of Days 2 and 3 of the expo.
It is scary how much time you can spend on a game like Grand Prix Story without noticing. I was playing it the other night, and rather then lose an hour to reading Game of Thrones, I lost an hour to playing Grand Prix Story. It really is so easy to spend so much time playing this little gem.
Another day, another Zombie iPhone game. Boxhead: The Zombie Wars is a port of a popular zombie shooter flash game that has been optimised for iPhone. Unfortunately, in its transition it has retained all the qualities of an average flash game – repetitive, forgettable, unwinnable and eventually kind of boring. Sure, developer MEDL is trying to blend the bizarre charm of their boxlike character models with the (apparently) endless appeal of the shuffling undead, but the market is saturated with…
There’s a common theory stating that insanity is defined by the act of attempting the same thing over and over, all while expecting different results. Now, I’m no expert in psychology, but I’m willing to accept this as an accurate definition. But having said that, I have another theory to throw your way; hear me out and see what you make of it. My definition of insanity is as follows: the act of making a Transformers game in which the…
The act of remaking or remastering classic games is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it gives a new generation of gamers who weren’t old enough to enjoy these games the first time around the chance to see what all the fuss was about, while on the other hand it lets those of us who did play them the chance to wallow in nostalgia and bang on about how much better games were when we were younger. Whatever the reasoning…
Naruto isn’t something I’m particularly familiar with, nor is it something I’ve ever been that interested in acquainting myself with. Nonetheless, it’s a popular franchise with a decent enough, albeit well worn, concept – a bunch of ninja oppose the forces of evil, etc – so the prospect of playing Naruto Shippuden 3D: The New Era was a somewhat enticing one. After all, surely a game based on an animé in which ninja throw around insane attacks in edge-of-your-seat fight…
E3 is the biggest event in the gaming calendar. Since 1995 it has been the place where companies show their plans for the upcoming year and make big game announcements. This years E3 has been built up to be especially important with the planned reveal of Nintendo’s new console, firm details about Sony’s new handheld device and a big question mark over what Microsoft were going to bring to the table.
Ben has been happy as larry doing a great job with his liveblogs on the conferences, watch out for the Nintendo one later today. I just want to share some brief thoughts so far on the event.
It is never wise to judge a book by its cover is the saying, that doesn’t really apply to Green Lantern, it is most certainly green as the new images after the jump attest.
