Righto first time I've done this so bear with me. I hope to list, every Friday, every game that is out that week in the UK so you may peruse them at your leisure before deciding what to waste another weekend of life playing. To help you in this quest I will also attach a pithy one liner summing it up what it's all about.


  • Art of Fighting Anthology, PS2 - 2nd rate Street Fighter
  • Conflict: Denied Ops Shops, X360 - You're a 20 something sassy girl about town but all the shoe shops are closed. You must find a way of making your feet look pretty without resorting to mail order or wearing shoes you already own
  • Conflict: Denied Ops Flip Flops, PS3 - You're on holiday but some pikie Spanish brat has stolen your flip flops while you where having a swim. You must find a way of getting back to your hotel room without stepping on any bottles of San Miguel or half eaten tacos
  • Conflict: Denied Ops Coco Pops, PC - You throw an eppie because you have toast for breakfast
  • Devil May Cry 4, X360 - Teacakes because he never gets any
  • Devil May Cry 4, PS3 - Teacakes but you'll cry for a faster install
  • Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition, PSP - Fresh new game for those not old enough to drive yet
  • Final Fantasy II Anniversary Edition, PSP - Fresh new game to keep you busy until you figure out why you should talk to the opposite sex
  • Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: Imagination Invaders, PS2 - Promise I did not make up that game title
  • Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, DS - Looks about as much fun as tits on an alligator, will no doubt sell a billion copies by the time I've written this so what do I know.
  • Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, PC - Playground for pyromaniacs
  • Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, X360 - Sony offices in flames if I see another release for the 360 and not the PS3
  • Neves, DS - A game that attempts to give you peace, harmony and warm fuzzy feelings, sounds about as likely as a Bar Mitzvah in Palestine.
  • NFL Tour, PS3 - All sports games that don't involve driving cars are for girls
  • Nitrobike, WII - Apart from those which involve bikes which are for hairy people who listen to Meatloaf and Motorhead too much, and are big wussy girls
  • PDC World Championship Darts 2008, WII - Gaffer tape WiiMote to hand to save TV
  • Pic Pic, DS - Looks like another infuriating DS Puzzle game, in a pink box
  • Pop, WII - Goes your brain cell
  • Professor Kageyama's Maths Training, DS - DOES NOT MAKE YOU CLEVER
  • Showtime Championship Boxing, WII - Wii sports boxing with less control making you look very silly to all your neighbours secretly watching you though your window
  • Speedball 2 - Tournament, PC - Compete in taking cocktails of heroine and cocaine
  • The Club, PS3 - Imagine Running Man but more cartooney and fun...
  • The Club, X360 - ...like a serial killers playground
  • The Command & Conquer, PC - 13 C&C Games = BARGAIN
  • Turok, X360 - Dinosaurs and space marines, nope did not see that coming
  • Turok, PS3 - Just seen this in game in a little shiney box, so I guess it's out too
Turok,

Chess (Wood)

By
Having worked through a few retro video games lately I thought I'd try one of the earliest I could find. Similar in play to something like Final Fantasy Tactics on the Game Boy Advanced, Chess is a deep game, easy enough to pick up but becomes brain hemorrhagingly complex very quickly. Oddly for games of this period it's multiplayer only, similar to say Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 with no single player mode. You actually have to have friends to play this and, much like the Game Boy Advanced, they must be sat in front in of you. Mercifully, batteries and link cables are not required which could explain some of its popularity. Chess has evolved a rich tournament following too and global competitions are held regularly, accumulating five times the viewers of the League of Legends World Championships. The game does have its draw backs. It’s very easy for novices to get into a none winnable situation, two pieces following each other round the board until someone nods off. A little of ...

Pokemon Sapphire (GBA)

By
  Here we have the 3 rd Generation of Pokémon Games for the Nintendo handheld console. Sapphire and Ruby. Not a great deal has changed since the first generation and nor will it for the next six. The game consists of you skuttling around a made-up Japanese island hunting creatures into servitude. The poor beings follow you on a long excursion of frequent and arduous battles with other trainers. Eventually culminating in your crowning as Pokémon master of masters of the universe! or some such. The game is a heavily disguised version of more traditional Role-Playing Games. Rather than fighting yourself though, you thrust your hapless creatures in the role of ready cannon fodder. Carefully selecting moves against opponent types in an overly complex version of rock, paper scissors. Your minions evolve, change (sometimes unrecognisably from before) and learn completely new moves. The evolution of these little buddies is quite satisfying, and you soon become quite attached to a few of t...

Devil May Cry 4, Is Reviewed

By
I'm scarred, I'm scarred because here will be another game that I will buy, spend about 5mins playing before I question my PS3's parentage and sexual activity in loud squeaky voice. I know this will happen mainly because of this line in the review , "the game is kick-in-the-balls tough", yep really looking forward to this. I also KNOW this will happen because exactly the same thing happened to me with DMC3, think I got the bit just after the 3 headed dog (The FIRST boss), then lost my save....Have not played it since. But I know I'll buy it again because I love DMC, 1 was breath of fresh minty air not seen again until God of War came out, 2 was large poo baguette but then 3 while very difficult I did enjoy, once I'd calmed down. Oh but then there is a small glimmer of hope for me, "DMC4 is easier than the third instalment" Thank GOD! Note: Previous incidents mentioned above have honestly almost got me kicked out halls in uni, DOA2, nuff said. CVG
