Hardware Review: Rock Band Portable Drum Kit
What do you do when you have an itch that only a rhythm game can scratch? Other than apply a topical cream or a suppository, you would have to pay EA or Harmonix around £100 to get some instruments to help you rock out, right? This was a problem with which I was recently faced thanks to the overwhelming urge to play some Rock Band. With very little money on hand, a quick look online found me a third party portable drum controller designed specifically for Rock Band for around £10. A few days later a small package arrived containing my Madcatz Drum Controller.

Review: Bayonetta
Game: Bayonetta
Format: XBox 360
Developer: Platinum Games
Publisher: SEGA
This is the game which kicks off the 2010 January to March rush of games. Cast your minds back to near the end of last year; with Modern Warfare 2 looming on the horizon, many game publishers took the decision to push their games into 2010 to 'avoid the busy holiday season'. Now we are in the beginning of 2010 and it feels much more like a November normally would in terms of game releases. So can Bayontta stand out in this 'busy non-holiday season'?
