Latest UK Releases (From 6 September)
It’s a pretty good week for lovers of the music rhythm genre, as not only is Guitar Hero 5 begging for you to spend even more money on plastic instruments but The Beatles finally get their own game in The Beatles: Rock Band. Yes, it may just be Rock Band stuffed with 45 of The Beatles best songs but, come on now, it’s The Beatles!
Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is there for all you Rally lovers, and Championship Manager 2010 comes along just as we’re getting over our addiction from the last one. Section 8 is the odd one of the bunch, but it does look pretty damn good if the videos are anything to go by.
Guitar Hero 5 (PS2, PS3, Wii, X360) 11/9 (PS2 is 8/9)
Kurt Cobain wouldn’t exactly be thrilled at being included in a game with mass market appeal, but Activision knows how to push a few buttons. Cobain or not, Guitar Hero 5 is still going to sell by the bucketload and the updated graphics, 85 songs (with more for download) and the Guitar Hero Studio (which allows anyone to import their songs, providing they own the copyright) will do a lot to bolster that appeal.
The Beatles: Rock Band (PS3, X360) 9/9 (X360) 11/9 (PS3)
The Beatles, on the other hand, were no strangers to milking their success. I suppose being the biggest band in the world gives you a bit of an excuse though. As stated above there will be 45 The Beatles songs, with more available for download, and various dreamscapes that will make you believe there was more in that can of coke than you were lead to believe. Don’t worry though, you can calm yourself down with your free copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour.
Colin McRae: DiRT 2 (DS, PS3, PSP, Wii, X360) 11/9
Colin McRae may be gone, but Codemasters makes sure his name lives on in the videogame world. Thankfully the game is a good homage to the legend, with a new engine and whole roster of events and tracks to keep you occupied. Just make sure you don’t get stuck in the mud!
Section 8 (PC, X360) 11/9
At first glance you may think it’s just another futuristic shooter, with that word that describes a ring of light around someone’s head coming to mind. Then you see the unique ‘burn-in’ feature that allows you to drop onto the battlefield from 15,000 feet above the surface. This is supposed to eliminate fixed spawn points, but it remains to be seen if the game on the ground will be able to successfully follow an awesome start to each level.

Latest UK Releases (From 30 August)
The triumphant return of ‘Latest UK Releases’ (it has been on a holiday to a nice sunny beach and, as a result, is now sporting one hell of a tan) is admittedly a rather boring one. I’ve highlighted only two games that I think are worth it this week (ok, Metroid Prime Trilogy is also pretty good but the games aren’t new so it only gets the bulletpoint treatment), complete with the usual short commentary from your’s truly.
Champions Online (PC) 4/9
Champions Online may not be coming to the Xbox 360 anytime soon but at least PC gamers can enjoy its lovely cel-shaded (or ‘comic shading’ as the developers refer to it) visuals. One of the more intriguing ideas the game employs is the ability to create your very own nemesis once you reach level 25. Defeating your nemesis’s minions will give you clues to the whereabouts of him or her, leading to a showdown. The level cap is 40, which may not seem like a lot but I’m sure it will be expanded upon in the years to come (providing the game lasts that long of course).
Dissidia: Final Fantasy (PSP) 4/9
Similar to a fighting game the one big difference is that it includes characters from nearly every single main Final Fantasy game in the franchise. Ever wanted to see Cloud and Squall fight it out? Well, here’s your chance. I don’t think Final Fantasy fans need any more prompting than that.
Other releases:
- Silas (PC) *Out now*
- Pool Hall Pro (Wii) 31/8
- Fate/Unlimited Codes (PSP) 3/9
- Il-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey (DS, PS3, X360) 4/9
- Guilty Gear 2: Overture (X360) 4/9
- Zorro: Quest for Justice (DS) 4/9
- I Did It Mum! Dolls House (DS) 4/9
- Warriors Orochi 2 (PSP) 4/9
- Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii) 4/9
- SuperCar Challenge (PS3) 4/9
- The Humans (DS) 4/9
- SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny (PSP) 4/9

GTA: Chinatown Wars Also Coming To iPhone/iPod Touch
It’s now even harder to avoid playing Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars as Rockstar has announced that a version of the game for the iPhone will be joining the PSP version when it is released this autumn.
Rockstar president Sam Houser believes that the game is a “perfect match” for the iPhone;
“Chinatown Wars is a perfect match for the iPhone and iPod touch. We are very excited to bring this incredibly ambitious version of Liberty City, with this level of detail and immersive gameplay on Apple’s new gaming platforms,” (Source)
The best thing about this announcement is that the iPhone version won’t have to sacrifice the touch screen controls like the PSP version had to, so hopefully this version will be mostly similar to the DS version. I do have some reservations about how you will control Huang Lee (the main character), as some previous iPhone ports have used an on-screen d-pad which can often be a bit frustrating to use.
There are no screenshots yet (unlike the PSP version) but I expect it won’t be too long until we see some.
Rockstar is also bringing Beaterator to the iPhone (originally announced for PSN and PSP), a music mixer that has been developed in collaboration with Timbaland. Let’s hope that people will use earphones when creating their own tunes on the bus or train.
Both games will be out in autumn, with a firm release date to come at a later date.

Latest UK Releases (From 28 June)
As it gets hotter I’ve found myself actually playing more games than usual, simply because I prefer sitting half naked in front of a fan than having to face the searing heat outside. I should have actually been on holiday in Turkey this week (I had to cancel it), so I guess I should be grateful that we’re getting some of Turkey’s good weather back home.
Anyway, if you want to get away from the sun here’s some new games that you could be playing instead of getting burnt to a crisp.
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (PC, PS3, X360) 3/7
The prequel to 2007’s Call of Juarez follows the story of the McCall brothers as they shoot their way through a civil-war era US and Mexico. The gameplay will be slightly different depending on which brother you select. For example, one brother uses a lasso while the other brother likes to use dynamite. Co-op play will allow you to compliment your chosen characters abilities with those of a friend. Check out the trailer here.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (PS3, Wii, X360) 3/7
I find it hard to write something positive about a golf game, as I personally find it one of the most uninteresting sports on the planet. However, if you are interested a new “Tournament Challenge” mode allows players to replicate famous shots and moments from the PGA Tour’s history, while the Wii version supports MotionPlus; allowing for more authentic and accurate golf swings.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (DS, Mac, Mobile, PC, PSP, PS2, PS3, Wii, X360) 3/7
The game tie-in with the book and film of the same name comes to pretty much every current platform, as well as one of the old ones. It’s pretty much similar to the previous games, with some multiplayer thrown in so you can go up against other crazy Potter fans. Apparently EA didn’t bother to include some of the locations from the previous books, so don’t expect it to be completely canon.
Moon (DS) 3/7
Moon is a first-person shooter that uses the same engine as Renegade Kid’s previous DS game, Dementium: The Ward. It takes place….um, take a wild guess? While the game features plenty of the narrow corridors it’s predecessor had in abundance the developer stresses that an updated version of the engine allows for more open environments and larger groups of enemies (source). All in all it doesn’t look like a bad attempt for a handheld that doesn’t have all that many FPS games.
Other releases:
- Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (PC, X360) *Out now*
- Music: Music for Everyone (DS) *Out now*
- Pro Cycling Manager/Tour de France 2009 (PC) *Out now*

Latest UK Releases (From 21 June)
I apologise for missing this last week as it just slipped my mind. However, let’s not concentrate on the past and take a look at what’s coming out this week.
It’s not actually a bad week, with something coming out for everyone. Boxing fans have Fight Night Round 4, while RPG fans can pick between Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Tales of Vesperia. There are a truck load of other releases, so take a look below to see if anyone takes your fancy.
Fight Night Round 4 (PS3, X360) 26/6
Fight Night Round 4 makes punching Ricky Hatton in the face even more realistic than last time. There’s a huge roster of fighters, new fighting styles and the introduction of the legacy mode; which is basically a re-titled version of the career mode which allows you to create your own boxer or choose from legends such as Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis.
Overlord II (PC, PS3, X360) 26/6
The first Overlord was pretty well received, even if the sales weren’t great. However, it was marred by technical problems - such as long load times and low frame rates - that Overlord II hopes to avoid. The plot is penned by Rhianna Pratchett (Terry’s daughter), who recently did the plot for Mirror’s Edge, and follows the events of the first game. As for gameplay the game apparently “massively increases the scope of the original concept” (source), which means improved minion intelligence and destructiveness and the ability to carry out tasks such as riding mounts and sailing warships. Sounds like fun to me!
Anno 1404 (PC) 26/6
The RTS and city building series continues, or rather goes back in time to 1404. This installment features a new interface, gigantic islands and worlds, a modifiable sandbox and a host of other features. Oh, and there’s the (English gentlemen mode commence!) absolutely splendid graphics you can see above.
Spore Galatic Adventures (PC) 26/6
Spore’s first proper expansion pack (the first, Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack, simply contained some new body parts) adds some much needed meat to the game in the form of custom missions. The player can customise planets, add flora and fauna, new vehicles, buildings and other objects while also defining various goals for the mission; such as having to defeat a particular enemy or collect a certain object. It should add some much needed variety to a game that got stale pretty damn quick.
Other releases:
- Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (PC, PSP, PS2, PS3, Wii) 26/6
- Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP) 26/6
- Tales of Vesperia (X360) 26/6

Latest UK Releases (From 7 June)
There is only one big release this week, and that’s Rail Simulator 2: Railworks Platform! Tipped to be one of the most exciting games of the decade Rail….ok, who am I kidding? Prototype is the only ‘hyped’ big release this week; with pirates, Harrison Ford and John McEnroe also competing for your money.
Prototype (PC, PS3, X360) 12/6
Amnesia has been used as a plot device in thousands of TV programmes, films, games and books but has I doubt it has ever been used as a way to explain why Alex Mercer has suddenly got devastating super powers and is out to kill hordes of people. This not only includes the ability to run up the sides of buildings or crush a tank, but also the ability to summon spikes up through the ground that impale anyone unlucky enough to be standing in their way. Check out these vidoes for more grisly awesomeness.
Grand Slam Tennis (Wii) 12/6
Grand Slam Tennis is one of the first Wii games to work with the new Wii MotionPlus, which means that it will be coming bundled with the device for a limited time. It always disappointed me that when playing Wii Sports you could get the same result by only flicking your wrist rather than using the Wii Remote like a tennis player would a racquet. Thankfully MotionPlus has fixed this, meaning that our arms will now hurt more than ever when watching John McEnroe and his superb hair go crazy at Wimbledon.
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (DS, PSP, PS2, Wii) 12/6
It has been a while since we had an Indiana Jones game, and coming so long after the latest film you have to wonder if anyone really wants a new Indy game. LucasArts is taking a punt at it anyway, taking Indy around the world to kick that Chinese guy’s ass (above) and possibly solve a puzzle or two. While it doesn’t sound all that appealing to me the inclusion of the classic PC game Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis (Wii version only) does make it somewhat more appealing. You have to wonder why LucasArts didn’t just release Fate of Atlantis on WiiWare though.
Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball (Wii) 12/6
Ah, the age old question. Who would win in a fight: pirates or ninjas? Thankfully you can now solve this question; although you will have to do it with balls instead of swords and nunchucks. The game was already released on Xbox Live Arcade last year, and back then reviews cited a lack of content and, erm, fun. Maybe Gamecock has improved it for a Wii release, but don’t hold your breath.
Other releases:
- Dragonica Online (PC) 10/6
- Guitar Hero: Metallica (PS2) 12/6
- Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual (PC) 12/6
- Rail Simulator 2: Railworks Platform (PC) 12/6
- Barnyard Blast (PSP) 12/6

Latest UK Releases (From 31 May)
In all the excitement of E3 I forgot to tell you about this weeks releases until now. It’s always a risk releasing games in June - especially during E3 as everyone is talking about future releases - as this time of year is usually a notorious dry season for games. Thankfully things are a bit different this year, with some top quality releases for you to enjoy when you’re not out tanning yourself (hopefully we’ll get the weather for it this year).
All the releases below should be available in shops from today.
Red Faction: Guerrilla (PS3, X360)
This game arrived in the post from Amazon today, and I have to say that I’m quite enjoying it so far. You may not be able to blow through rock anymore, but to be honest was that ever useful anyway? Instead any structure you come across can be totally destroyed, its various supports and reinforcements flying everywhere at the touch of a missile. Look for a full review soon.
The Sims 3 (PC)
EA has tired of releasing The Sims 2 expansion packs and is moving on to a fully fledged sequel. To be fair I’m glad of the direction EA has decided to go in, with the game now playing as an entire town and not just loosely connected individual lots. One thing that always annoyed me about The Sims 2 was being frozen in time. For example, if you played one house for a few hours and your child grew up to eventually become an adult his friends would stay as children, which obviously isn’t realistic. The Sims 3 makes everyone age together, plus you can jump between houses and other lots at will with no loading times.
Fuel (PS3, X360)
Fuel is not only the biggest racing game of all time, but also the biggest console game of all time. The open-word environment of Fuel boasts 5,560 square miles of free to roam terrain, which is a hell of a lot of playing space. The post-apocalyptic setting of Fuel also means that you have to contend with some nasty weather while you’re racing, with tornadoes and sandstorms only part of the mix.
Star Ocean: The Last Hope (X360)
I never managed to get through Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, because that game literally took until the end of time, but maybe I’ll give Star Ocean: The Last Hope a try. Star Ocean: The Last Hope features a heavier emphasis on sci-fi, which is good because I felt that Till the End of Time just threw me into the world of swords and monsters when I was expecting more space travel. I still don’t understand why the hero’s in JRPG’s have to be kids though.
Other releases:
- Sacred 2: Fallen Angel (PS3, X360)
- Restaurant Empire II (PC)
- Trash Panic (PS3)
- Age of Pirates 2: City of Abandoned Ships (PC)

Latest UK Releases (From 24 May)
This week see’s the release of the electrifying inFamous (forgive me for that pun). There is also Terminator Salvation, if you can stomach it, the fun and long lasting Bloom Blox Party and a whole bunch of other releases.
inFamous (PS3) 29/5
From what I’ve seen of inFamous it’s one game that I would consider buying a Playstation 3 for. Sadly my lack of funds means that this isn’t possible right now, so instead I have to dream about sending out bolts of deadly electricity, sliding along power lines, and leaping around the stricken Empire City. For you lucky ones who own a PS3 to play it on (one of the few good exclusive games that the PS3 has got this year) the reviews are saying it’s a lot of fun so go and pick it up.
Terminator Salvation (PC, PS3, X360) 29/5
Ah, another film tie-in. It’s not often that you get one that’s actually good, and sadly Terminator Salvation isn’t one of the few good ones. For one it’s an incredibly short game, weighing in at just a few hours it’s not really worth the full asking price. Secondly there’s no Christian Bale, and thirdly it’s based on a pretty lacklustre film to begin with.
I wouldn’t bother.
Boom Blox Bash Party (Wii) 29/5
The sequel to Steven Spielberg’s Bloom Blox is packed with 400 levels, which is tremendous value. These levels come in a variety of new environments, such as underwater and outer space, populated by new characters and new shapes of blocks. The multiplayer modes are also far more extensive, with co-op and competitive areas. It sounds like a great game for kids and adults alike.
Other releases:
- Virtua Tennis 2009 (PS3, X360) 29/5
- Guitar Hero: Metallica (PS2, PS3, X360, Wii) 29/5
- Officers (PC) 29/5
- SBK-09 Superbike World Championship (PC, PSP, PS3, X360) 29/5
- Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge (PC) 29/5
- Medal of Honor: 10th Anniversary Edition (PC) 29/5
- Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (DS) 29/5
- Wonder World Amusement Park (DS) 29/5
- Aqua Panic (Wii) 29/5
- PDC World Championship Darts 2009 (DS, Wii) 29/5
- Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica (PS2) 29/5
- Left Brain Right Brain 2 (DS) 29/5
- Brain Exercise With Dr. Kawashima (PC) 29/5

Latest UK Releases (From 29th March)
This is a bit late this week because I’ve been really busy, but better late than never right?
Anyway, this week was one of those weeks where nothing really special comes along. There are no big hitters, unless you count Wanted: Weapons of Fate and Ninja Blade as two. That’s pretty much it though, but that doesn’t mean all the other games are bad, it just means they’ve not been part of the hype machine.
All the games below should already be in the shops.
Wanted: Weapons of Fate (PS3, Xbox 360)
Coming so long after the film it’s based on it’s hard to see how Wanted: Weapons of Fate can garner much attention. Only time will tell how such a big stretch has affected sales, but the game’s aim is to build upon the film. Of course, new story is also complete with curving bullets!
Ninja Blade (Xbox 360)
Microsoft describes it as a “cinematic action game” featuring designs from Keiji Nakaoka, who brought us Lost Planet. It may share similarities with Ninja Gaiden, but this hack-and-slash game is a decent game in its own right.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (Wii)
It may not be the best Zelda game in the series, but it’s up there near the top. The excellent Majora’s Mask is getting a re-release on the Wii’s virtual console. If you’ve never played, or just want to relive the old days, then now is the time to pick it up.
Disgaea DS (DS)
Nippon Ichi’s massive tactical RPG is getting a release on the DS, meaning that you can suck more of your life away while you’re on the move. New features include randomly generated items and unlockable characters.
- Hei$t (Xbox 360)
- WSC Real 09: World Championship Snooker (PC, PSP,PS3, Xbox 360)
- Lux-Pain (DS)
- Tenchu: Shadow Assassins (PSP)
- A-Train 8 (PC)
- Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy (Wii)

Latest UK Releases (From 22 March)
There are a whole boat load of releases this week, although most of them are of the shovelware variety that is churned out on a regular basis here in the UK. There’s nothing I want to pick up this week, and I’m too busy playing GTA: Chinatown Wars and Fallout 3 (yup, still playing it, and I haven’t even got any of the downloadable content yet) anyway.
It’s not a stellar release list this week, but take a quick look anyway.
Stormrise (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) 27/3
An ambitious RTS that brings an element of “vercality” into play. As I wrote back in September units can go up and down buildings, or even underneath, and a player that controls a good vantage point can see more of the map. Only time will tell if releasing Stormrise so close to Halo Wars will affect sales.
Wheelman (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) 27/3
Join Vin Diesel and his shiny bald head in an open ended world full of explosions and fast cars. The game will be released alongside a film of the same name, and will combine driving missions with on foot third-person action. Expect Vin Diesel to kick ass.
Demigod (PC) 27/3
The press blurb for Demigod says that “Demigod is a real-time, tactical strategy game that includes extensive role-playing elements”. The screenshots for Demigod say “giant Demigods beating the crap out of each other”. Thankfully the game is largely focused on multiplayer, so you can beat the crap out of your friends online too.
Afro Samurai (PS3, Xbox 360) 27/3
Based on the popular anime of the same name Afro Samurai is a re-telling of the first season of the original anime. You’ll be punching, kicking, and slashing your way through a cel-shaded adventure to take on “Number One”, someone who killed the previous “Number One” (Afro’s father) and now has godlike powers.
