Game Reviews
iPod Carling iPint • Racing • Beattie McGuinness Bungay
It’s a matter of life and death as you attempt to toss a pint to your parched pal on the other side of your favourite drinking hole. Alright, a little dramatic, but there’s a good chance this fun little app will bring a little joy to your day.
iPod Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D • Arcade Racing • Vivendi Universal
The trash-talking Bandicoot gets behind the wheel and scores a victory in this solid addition to the Crash Nitro Kart series. Easily one of the best racers in the AppStore.
iPod iDracula: Undead Awakening • Survival Shooter • Chillingo LTD.
Video Review Van Helsing’s hunt for Nosferatu continues in this fast and frantic survival shooter. With great visuals and gameplay that suits the platform perfectly, this title provides big fun for a budget price.
iPod Rainbow Ninja • Puzzle • Aresant Inc.
To call Rainbow Ninja even a mini-game would be a stretch. As part of a larger collection of micro-games this reflex tester might be worth the price of admission, but as it stands there’s just not enough bang for your buck in this app.
NDS Elite Beat Agents • Rhythm • Nintendo
If you wanted to get into the rhythm-action genre but didn’t want to look like that sweaty kid playing DDR at your local mall, Elite Beat Agents is definitely the way to go.
GBA Metroid Zero Mission • Platform Adventure • Nintendo
All the ingredients of a classic Metroid title are here, from acquiring weapons to gigantic bosses like Ridley and Kraid. The GBA handles the conversion of SNES controls well with little to no problems at all.
GBA Star Wars: Episode III • Platform Adventure • Nintendo
While Ubisoft’s previous Star Wars title may have been anything but strong with the force, Revenge of the Sith is definitely worthy of the Star Wars name.
GBA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles • Platform Adventure • Konami
TMNT for the GBA rises above expectations and provides one of the most simple and fun experiences available on Nintendo’s aging handheld.
PS2 Burnout Revenge • Racing • Electronic Arts
After playing any of Revenge’s modes and having the ability to ‘check’ traffic into other racers ahead of you, playing Gran Turismo will seem like a quaint Sunday drive.
PSP NHL 07 • Hockey • EA Sports
Overall, NHL 07 is definitely worth picking up for fans of Canada’s greatest game. Granted, it does have it’s setbacks, but solid online play and a wealth of modes is more than enough to squash those troubles.
PSP Tekken Dark Resurrection • Fighting • Namco Bandai
Although a 3D fighter seems like a disaster waiting to happen on the PSP, surprisingly enough Tekken Dark Resurrection pulls off the daunting feat and leaves other PSP fighter’s in the dust.
