At risk of being disappointed down the line, I’m going to say that Sonic Colours looks pretty damn good. Sega have released a new trailer showing off some more of the new title’s gameplay, particularly Sonic’s new drill and laser abilities. The game looks very colourful and appealing, and while it is fairly clear the game is being designed for a younger...

Two well known Pokemon fansites, Serebii.net and Pokebeach.com, were recently contacted by Nintendo over the publication of in-game screenshots from Pokemon Black and White. Both sites have complied with the letter to avoid being shut down. All images from Serebii.net depicting the newest generation of Pokemon display dead links, whereas Pokebeach have replaced...

New console launches are mostly-always an anticlimax. You get your brand spanking new, ultra-powerful machine home, pop in your copy of Resistance, the only game available that resembled anything half-decent, and… oh.

There was a little key so that when the doll cried, you had to put it in it and feed it, change it, etc. Well now...

Well… they’re interesting to say the very least. Considering the DSi XL is currently available in uncharacteristically tasteful shades of brown and red, the three new colours due for release in a few weeks time conjure horrifying memories of the not-so-classy ‘Funtastic’ range of N64 consoles. Aimed at the younger demographic of DS users,...

I’d been waiting for this game for months. The marketing – a slick production of tantalizing horror with just a dash of dark humour – seemed crafted especially for someone just like me. Truth be told, my Nintendo DS has been nothing but an expensive paperweight of late, and I’ve been desperate for a new DS title to really satisfy the...

The MT Framework engine from Capcom is the current-gen game engine in use for all Capcom games. That same engine, which has been used in games like Dead Rising and Resident Evil 5, has been reworked for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS. Referred to as Version Mobile, the engine is capable of producing astounding in-game effects including HDR rendering, surface shading,...
