echoshift by Elspeth Ritchie | 10-03-10

PSP

Review

If you enjoyed the mind-warping MC Escher world that was echochrome, then prepare to move from three dimensions to four with the release of echoshift from Artoon and Sony. Dropping the floating platforms used in the previous game, the little mannequin man’s simple world has become a series of fixed, linear courses filled with walls, gaps, and holes blocking his way out.

It's time to don your 80's mullet, Lycra pants and trusty wireless guitar whilst rocking out to some of the seminal hits of the hair rock era with Guitar Hero Van Halen. Yes that button bashing cash cow Guitar Hero returns with another collection from a band willing to sell their souls for a few bucks; this time it's Van Halen, rooting through their back catalogue to pick some of their greatest hits.

Dizzy Drops by Brian Ashford | 08-03-10

Dizzy Drops is actually a very simple game: Drops of paint fall from the sky which you have to catch in buckets at the bottom of the screen. The paint comes in four colours and you have to match the paint to the correctly coloured bucket by swapping the buckets around. Easy enough at first this soon becomes harder as the paint starts falling faster, or from lower clouds or when multiple drops fall together.

SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 by Sean Bamberger | 07-03-10

SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 is the latest in a line of semi-successful shooters for the PSP. The SOCOM games are yet another spin on a long-since-tired formula of terrorists versus American special forces, bad versus good in a struggle to stop someone detonating something somewhere at some time.

White Knight Chronicles by Michael Black | 06-03-10

The first thing that strikes you in White Knight Chronicles is that whilst the environments are quite beautiful, the people are a console-generation behind. Even the equipment on the people looks great. This problem comes of the game being released in Europe two years after its initial Japanese release. The result? The lip-sync is terrible, as if it were passable for the Japanese version and no attempt was made to match the English voice-over.
