8 reasons why football video games are better than the real thing

Sat, 11 May 2013 12:00:00 GMT

You can either head over to your local 5-a-side footy centre and compete against similarly 'l...

Review: Black Rock Shooter: The Game

Wed, 8 May 2013 09:00:00 GMT

When I see the words 'The Game' after anything I instantly become sceptical. It has connotations of lazy efforts, poor game design, and just downright awful cash-ins off the back of films or TV series. This is made even worse when the game in question is yet another action-RPG for the PSP, because there definitely aren't enough of those already, now are there? Luckily, Black Rock Shooter: Th...

History in Handheld: Celebrate Iron Man 3 with a rundown of Shellhead's portable gaming appearances

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 16:00:00 GMT

The many Marvel fans among you will already know that the latest instalment in the hugely popular Iron Man movie franchise has just exploded onto cinema screens around the world.

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:00:00 GMT

Every now and again, a game gets cancelled. Maybe the game cost too much to create, or the hardware was too limited, or perhaps the console in question got canned before the game was ready. Whatever the case, some games just never make it onto store shelves. So, we decided to go all Lara Croft, and raid the gaming graveyard for dead games. Read on for unfinished apps, cancelled gems, e...

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 12:00:00 GMT

Who hasn't played a game and thought, at some point in their life, that they'd quite like to one day create and build their own slice of fun. Titles like LittleBigPlanet let us enjoy a world of creation in which we can frolic and enjoy the simplicity of building a fun and vibrant environment to explore. Carnage Heart EXA, just like the PSone original, doesn't look at creation in quite the sa...
