 | Serious Sam 3: BFE and Serious Sam Double D XXL Launch This Fall(0) Serious Sam 3: BFE and the retooled Serious Sam Double D XXL will launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade this fall. Serious Sam 3: BFE will be delivered by series creator Croteam and feature all the fast-paced, brutal |
 | Minecraft Review (0)The man sat silent, eyes transfixed on the glow of the screen before him. Still, save for the movement of thumb on controller. Beside him a long cold cup of coffee rested, unloved and long forgotten. A voice wafted through the air gently questioning him……no response. |
 | Fable Heroes Review(0) Fable first came into our lives way back in 2004. It brought with it some refreshing and innovative ideas on how to pump some vigour into the veins of the age old RPG genre, it also sadly never quite managed to deliver the experience you felt the developers so badly wanted it to. The original Xbox never held the power to bring the vision fully to life and even the vastly superior 360 has still seemed to fall short. Fable is still a success story for Lionhead studios of course but the games have always, at least on a personal level, felt way too shallow and throwaway to compete with the true big hitters of the action/RPG stable. They reached for the stars but ended hanging precariously from the guttering wondering what went wrong. So then, how about if ’shallow‘ and ‘throwaway‘ are the order of the day? What if Lionhead released a game that wouldn’t look out of place airing on the CBeebies channel alongside Iggle Piggle and Mr Tumble? If the goalposts were widened and the ambition narrowed could a Fable game finally find the back of the net? |
 | Awesomenauts Review(0) Awesomenauts from Ronimo Games has hit the Xbox LIVE Arcade with a mighty awesome bang, with its 80’s style cartoon graphics, 90’s 2D style side scrolling action and modern HD backdrops that will soak you into its intergalactic surroundings. Read More |
 | Skullgirls Review(0) The 2D fighter has been a part of the staple diet of gaming since those days when arcades were still a relevant and integral part of the school dinner hour for hordes of young gamers. Personally I was never a particularly big fan. Sure, on occasion you could find me popping ten pence pieces into a fighter but by and large it’s been a genre I’ve been happy to dip a toe into without ever truly taking the plunge. Having said that, fear not good readers, as armed with an open mind and a ridiculously short skirt I’m ready to tackle Skullgirls, the new eye candy beat-em-up from the minds of the Reverge Labs team, to see if it has a punch to stagger the heavyweights or it’s still trying to get the top off the ketchup. |
 | The Walking Dead – XBLA Part 1 Hands On(1) With the success of the comic books and television series I take a look at the latest instalment from Robert Kirkmans zombie universe, the first chapter from Telltale games The Walking Dead entitled “A New Day”. Read More |
 | The Pinball Arcade Review(0) It’s a brave move from Farsight Studios to try and stake a claim for a slice of the video pinball pie with latest release The Pinball Arcade. The reason being of course that the superb Pinball FX 2 has been more than catering for all our silver ball shooting needs and high score feats within the Xbox LIVE Arcade for some time now. So is there room at the (pinball) table for this bold newcomer or are we gamers already beyond content? |
 | Bloodforge Review(0) Bloodforge is Climax Studio’s entrant into the ‘Arcade NEXT’ promotion on Xbox and it does something quite extraordinary from minute one. Through the implementation of fantasy cliché and overused themes Bloodforge magnificently manages to feel well worn and tired from the off. Now that is some feat. |
 | JoyRide Turbo Racing To XBLA In a Few Weeks(0) It may not be the free Kinect Joy Ride game we were all promised at E3 2009, but three years after the announcement – the Xbox LIVE Arcade will finally be getting its own Joy Ride game and it doesn’t even feature Kinect controls anywhere…how strange!

 | Trials Evolution Review(3) Simplicity is a beautiful word. It doesn’t want to confuse and frustrate, it has no need for overcomplicated ideas and confuddling brainwaves and it positively guffaws at those believers in more is better. Read More |
