Keep the beat of the bouncing thumpies, small round furry creatures, as they bounce along a number of mushrooms. http://www.square-go.com/review/957 Chris Peebles 997 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:27:43 +0000 Battlefield Bad Company 2 Set after the conclusion of Bad Company, the team has been given carte blanch to gather intel and locate a WMD which has the "suits" scared out of their wits http://www.square-go.com/review/997 Dan Pearson 1001 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:54:28 +0000 Revenge of the Wounded Dragons The overall result is a passable package that just falls a little flat. http://www.square-go.com/review/1001 Michael Black 1005 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 07:54:14 +0000 God of War 3 Those first few minutes of the game are certainly there to not only wow the player, but to show what the game really is capable of. http://www.square-go.com/review/1005 Chris Peebles 996 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 06:58:09 +0000 Astro Ranch As you play you will find your own routine. You can dip in for five minutes of fishing during your coffee break or spend an hour every evening tending your cattle while pretending not to watch your partner's favourite soap. http://www.square-go.com/review/996 Brian Ashford 972 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 06:58:01 +0000 Aliens vs Predator "you really hear every inch of a spinal colum being torn from a body" http://www.square-go.com/review/972 Graeme Strachan 989 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 06:51:36 +0000 Mujik Mujik is one of those titles that won't be pigeonholed into one genre, is it an app or is it a game? http://www.square-go.com/review/989 Dan Pearson 984 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 06:51:29 +0000 Borderlands DLC - The Secret Armory of General Knoxx Broken and half-finished highways running over sandy desert with variations on old enemies and a few new ones. http://www.square-go.com/review/984 Michael Black 986 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 07:40:12 +0000 Peggle Peggle, the third most addictive entity in the world after Heroin and World of Warcraft has destroyed many man and woman; but it’s just so damn good!

Other than the obligitory self aggrandising intoduction (Last year was our biggest yet, this year will be even bigger!) their conference had just one purpose: The full reveal of their motion controller, the PlayStation Move. http://www.square-go.com/review/998 The Editorial Team 971 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:20:37 +0000 Scotland in Focus: Colin Macdonald - Part 2 One of the big problems is that we have so many people in the country who don't see games for the huge industry that it is. http://www.square-go.com/review/971 Phil Harris 995 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:20:28 +0000 Hands On: Blur So yes Blur is definitely a race game and one of some calibre as well but it has a futuristic element with differing weapons to fire up and down the track. http://www.square-go.com/review/995 Brian & Phil 994 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:57:31 +0000 Bargain/Bin There are a number of cut scenes throughout the game littered with what isn't even old, but more ancient humour. http://www.square-go.com/review/994 Brian & Phil 988 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:47:58 +0000 Wild Pockets Shanna Tellerman - Part 2 It's not just focussing on a slice of the market but ensuring that you're focussing on the right slice and the right entry point into the market. http://www.square-go.com/review/988 Phil Harris 983 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:44:44 +0000 echoshift If you enjoyed the mind-warping MC Escher world that was echochrome, then prepare to move from three dimensions to four with echoshift. http://www.square-go.com/review/983 Elspeth Ritchie 985 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:20:42 +0000 Wild Pockets Shanna Tellerman - Part 1 That's the Wild Pocket philosophy; to create an online community and development environment for independent developers. http://www.square-go.com/review/985 Phil Harris 962 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:19:03 +0000 Guitar Hero Van Halen The Van Halen element to the gigs feels a bit like a "best of" event, but in reality you play nothing more than a middle aged rocker wearing the ripped jeans and top combo. http://www.square-go.com/review/962 Dan Pearson 977 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 07:39:18 +0000 Dizzy Drops ...it feels more like the sort of vaguely educational flash game you find on websites for kids, only here it has been sped up to be a challenge for the iPhone's more adult audience. http://www.square-go.com/review/977 Brian Ashford 981 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 07:38:02 +0000 Updating news stories and, of course, the PS2 Here we sit 10 years down the line and it's hard to remember the days before the PS2 arrived on the scene and became the must have under-set box for an entire generation. http://www.square-go.com/review/981 The Editorial Team 959 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:48:06 +0000 Pinball Round-Up ZEN Studios rule the roost with little competition on Xbox 360 and PS3 http://www.square-go.com/review/959 Michael Black 976 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:47:41 +0000 SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 The clichéd Eastern Bloc setting and dissident rebel forces mix nicely with the hoo-rah SEAL voice acting and W.M.D. references to create something entirely uninteresting to the average gamer. http://www.square-go.com/review/976 Sean Bamberger 980 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 21:19:11 +0000 Realtime Worlds Student Programming Competition - Part 2 Every so often you'd here a yelp, a success, as brains worked together towards a solution. http://www.square-go.com/review/980 Phil Harris 978 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:45:32 +0000 Live at the Realtime Worlds Student Programming Competition - Part 1 "The Competition's a great chance for students to chat with some of our software engineers and me informally.
