Star Wars: The Old Republic:- Final Thoughts
It's been almost a month since the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic, and while we've still not played through half of the game, I finally feel that we've played enough to give you a definitive verdict.Before getting to that, however, I'm going to touch on several points I've yet to mention, though briefly, as I've already dedicated two separate articles to this game, not mentioning this one.

Review:- Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Game: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Format: PS3, Xbox 360 Developer: Kojima Productions, Bluepoint Games Publisher: KonamiRemastering classic movies is something of a contentious subject for fans of cinema. For every great work of restoration, such as the Blu-Ray release of Casablanca, you get the "re-mastered" versions of the Star Wars movies, which unnecessarily tamper with classic movie moments, adding flashy special effects where they do not belong. It is fortunate then that, to date, the vast majority of gaming HD re-releases have been of exceptionally high quality, allowing those that missed out on decade old classics another chance to experience their majesty. ...
Video: Hands on with Playstation Vita
The UK release of the Playstation vita is a little under a month away now, but Japanese gamers have been able to buy the system since mid-December. Knowing that our readers are keen to hear more about Sony's next portable gaming system we have given our Japanese corespondent Sabbi Stone a special mission. After submitting her full review of the Playstation Vita to the site earlier this week Sabbi has taken the opportunity to send over some video footage of some of the Playstation Vita's built in apps to further illustrate some of her points.In the following videos you will ...
Review:- Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
Game: Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Platform: PSP Developer: Falcom Publisher: Ghostlight RPG fans have certainly been well-catered for on the PSP. In such a late stage of its life cycle, with the Playstation Vita imminent the PSP is still going strong. Trails in the Sky – with the rather provocative acronym 'TitS' – is one RPG that stands out from the crowd, and not just because it's called TitS. This JRPG is fairly traditional by design. There's a turn-based combat system, towns, airships and plucky teenage freedom fighters; on the face of it, it's lacking in originality. However, developer Falcom has been ...
Review:- Playstation Vita (Welcome Park)
This has been a long time coming, relatively, considering how long the Vita has been out in Japan. Since then I’ve had the pleasure of seeing its numbers sell well during the first week, slip in the second and more recently, be outsold by its predecessor once more. In fact, I can’t go into any Tsutaya, Book Off or any other outlet with second hand gaming goods without seeing at least one of the 3G models already returned and on sale once again. With that in mind, how do I feel about my own model?By now you've probably already read ...
Review:- Haunt
Game: Haunt Format: Xbox Live Arcade Kinect Developer: NanaOn-Sha co and Zoë Mode Publisher: Microsoft From the creator of Parapa The Rapper, Haunt is a downloadable first person exploration game that takes place inside of a haunted mansion. Utilising Microsoft’s Kinect you control your character by following on-screen prompts, such as jumping, ducking, and dodging, solve some basic puzzles, and battle against a number of ghosts. Haunt has a really pleasing spooky aesthetic, like the ghost trains of old, that manages to be frightening without being gratuitous, and is suitable for players of all ages. It really is a charming game that plays a lot ...
Preview:- Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (Updated Impressions)
We recently had the privilege to be allowed complete access to the entirety of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning with only a strict "you have 4 hours" limit to what we could see and do...Now you might be thinking "Wow, 4 hours! That's a huge amount of time! Did you manage to complete it or anything?".OK, let me put that thought quickly and ruthlessly to bed. Not a chance.It has been stated by the developers that you will need 10 times as long just to complete the game's main story line.I suspect 40 hours to complete would require not only some ...
