Game on

 

 

Keeping it short
By Rodentia

Do we really need to write 500 words to tell you what we think of a game? Not on this evidence...

AstroPop (360)
Apparently Level 5 is tremendously difficult. I'll never know.
moobaa

Kameo (360)
Oooooh, pretty... pretty dull, that is.
moobaa

Need For Speed - Most Wanted (360)
Like the car chases in The Blues Brothers crossed with The Fast & The Furious, which is why I love it.
PVB


Timeless

Perfect Dark Zero (360)
Queen of the Dullest Whorehouse in Dullsville.
moobaa

PGR3 (360)
It's the dumb blonde of gaming, lovely to look at but not much depth.
Ely

Ridge Racer 6 (360)
Vrooooom zooooom swish oh fucking yes Yes YEAAAAAAAAH!
moobaa

Rockstar Table Tennis (360)
Slick. Tricky to do right, but very satisfying when you do. Good price too.
Sir_LANs-a-lot

Rumble Roses (360)
Bollocks.
Em

The Elder Scrolls:Oblivion (360)
My brain is collapsing under the sheer scope of this thing - frightened to talk to people in case I get a new quest.
OnePunchMickey


Excuse me sir, got any tasks?

UNO (360)
Fun & Frustration. Should be pretty good with 4 human players.
Sir_LANs-a-lot

Wik, Fable of Souls (360)
All signs point to this being shitter than it is.
moobaa

Radirgy (DC)
Flaky, funny, weird and wonderful; if only the game was as good as the title.
No Name

Animal Crossing (DS)
Not much to do, feeble graphics, minimal action, so how come I spent 2 hours a day on it for 6 months??
puffle

Brain Trainer (DS)
Starts off really interesting and unique, then becomes a chore
Rockwaldo

Mario & Luigi Partners in Time (DS)
That's 20 hours of my life I won't get back again.
Ahchay

New Super Mario Brothers (DS)
Its like an old girlfriend who has had plastic surgery. Still the same in the sack, but looks better
Stevo

Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney (DS)
Compellingly dull story-driven stabbing game.
Koworld


Watch some episodes of this instead

Super Monkey Ball (DS)
Too small to use as a coaster
Em

Zookeeper (DS)
Making animals smile makes Anthony smile.
ynohtna

Killer 7 (GC)
Interesting, atmospheric, compelling and diffferent. So why have I only played it for thirty minutes?
aureole

Metroid Prime 2 (GC)
Looks ace. Might actually get round to unwrapping it and playing it one day.
Deggy

Metroid Prime 2 (GC)
Looks like a beautified Metroid Prime. Plays like a slippery dog turd on wet grass.
moobaa

Syphon Filter Dark Mirror (GC)
Even if all the other flavours on offer are vile, vanilla is still vanilla.
aureole

Hitman BloodMoney (Multi)
Last night I assassinated a panty sniffer by drenching a pair of knickers with ethanol. True story.
Fried Egg Sandwich

Armadillo Run (PC)
Stupid name, great physics game.
ynohtna

Half-Life 2 Episode 1 (PC)
More of the same, and when the same is Half Life 2, that's never a bad thing.
Dio

Project IGI2 (PC)
Hold down "crouch" and "forward" for 45 minutes. Maybe don't die.
Bog


Come on England! (it's "Crouch", you know Peter Crouch, get it?)

Chu Chu Rocket Mobile (Phone)
It's Chu Chu Rocket for your mobile innit! Respect.
Morgan

Buzz - The Big Quiz (PS2)
Really, really great party game.
Madhippo

Guitar Hero (PS2)
My fingers hurt!
alexmcchesney

Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
Foggy. Really foggy. And dark.
bluefunk

Tourist Trophy: The Real Riding Simulator (PS2)
GT4 with half the wheels and only half as good.
KidCasio

Everybody's Golf (PSP)
The best £27.99 I have spent. Ever.
Deggy

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (PSP)
Like Vice City on PS2....think of it...think of it...THINK OF IT!!! Only smaller.
Deggy
