[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Dante’s Inferno may be based on a chapter from the poem The Divine Comedy and even though it completely rips off God of War, it actually is poetry in motion and therefore a very good game in [...]

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] I haven’t played many of the Final Fantasy games because I’m not a massive fan of JRPGs. Saying that I did play Final Fantasy X up to the tricky end boss and did rather enjoy it. Final [...]

Is it me or does even the full title of Sega’s latest title sound like they’re trying too hard? ‘Sonic and Sega All Star Racing with Banjo and Kazooie’ is certainly more than a mouthful. Note the Banjo and Kazooie sub heading is exclusive for Xbox 360 owners. Before we head into this review of Sonic [...]

I was a little nervous heading into Greed Corp. Being touted as a cross between Risk and Military Madness from Hudson, this game was either going to be very good or very bad. Greed Corp for Xbox 360 is a rather unique turn based strategy game. Yes it’s your traditional hexagonal affair but let’s be honest, [...]

I’ll be doing Machinarium a little bit of a disservice right off the bat here but I need to start somewhere. Put simply Machinarium is a point and click adventure/puzzle game for the PC, if you’ve ever played a Lucas Art’s title such as The Secret of Monkey Island then you’ll know the sort I [...]

Generally videogames tend to follow a tried and tested formula. The reason for this is a fairly simple one: the games publisher or developer knows that there’s already an audience out there for the product even before they start work on it, and so – assuming that they don’t make a complete hash of things [...]

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Shattered Memories isn’t so much a remake of the original PSOne game but a re-imagining of the story. You play as Harry Mason who, after a car crash, realises his daughter’s gone missing in the creepy snowy [...]

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] It’s hard what to make of Heavy Rain. It’s not really a game as we know it and it’s not really a movie. If you can imagine the two being merged together where you get to make [...]

It’s been announced that Alan Wake will arrive in May 2010 and developers Remedy have admitted they still don’t know how it’s going to end. They want the story to be bigger than just what we see in the game so it could end on some sort of cliff hanger. Let’s just hope they don’t [...]

Last week saw the opening of the new Sonic Spinball ride at Alton Towers in the UK. What was once called Pinball Spinner has been rebranded with Sonic’s colours and sound effects and the hedgehog himself was even there to help cut the ribbon. Believe me when I say it’s a lot of fun!

I haven’t picked up Resident Evil 5 since I played it to death last year but finally a bit of DLC crawls out of the grave in the form of Lost in Nightmares. This short piece of DLC focuses on the part of the main story when Chris tells Sheva how he lost touch with [...]

It’s not often we review hardware here on Gamesweasel. If truth be told nowadays most of our gaming time is spent on the consoles; PC gaming seems to have taken a bit of a back seat in recent years. That isn’t to say we don’t still enjoy a good PC game when it comes along. For [...]

I always love a small game from an independent studio and there’s always something fresh to find when you actually take a look. It’s so easy to constantly buy your games at the local store and forgetting about the smaller titles coming out on platforms such as; Steam, WiiWare, XBLA and others. Plain Sight from [...]

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] I guess the sequel to Army of Two isn’t called Army of Two 2 for good reason. It sounds silly. So, The 40th Day it is then and this second of the co-op heavy games sees Salem [...]

You may have already read our review of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games and noticed that I found it much more enjoyable than I expected. Let’s see if Sega’s more serious simulation of the Winter Olympic Games will win me over in the same way as Mario and Sonic did. I don’t want [...]

The first thought I had about MAG was that it seemed that not a huge amount of thought had gone into the game name – ‘Massive Action Game’ sounds like a work-in-progress title that nobody thought to change. However, like the annoying bloke on the ads for those DIY products used to say – ‘it [...]
