Damnation by Michael Slevin | 03-07-09

As we've seen before, taking the best bits of top titles and melding them together does not necessarily make a brilliant game. Wheelman managed it, blending elements of Grand Theft Auto and Burnout to fine effect, making for a fast and fun actioner. Damnation gives it a go with highlights from fellow third-person shooters, and while not terrible, it does fall way short of the bullseye.

Fight Night Round 4 by Dave Cook | 03-07-09

In reality, boxing is a highly methodical sport, requiring the ability to think tactically under immense pressure and not forget the threat of your opponent's massive fists ready to machine gun your face into a bloody pulp. Boxing games on the other hand are largely the opposite. Unfettered scraps with little or no tactical framework, failing to capture the true feeling of the sport. EA's Fight Night Round 4 transcends the stereotype, delivering an intense and truly immersing experience.

E4's Great British Summer of Games # 3: The Rather Difficult Game by Phil Harris | 01-07-09

Back in the twenties, vaudeville performers often had more than one string to their bow, juggling, two or three things at once. The Rather Difficult Game knows its roots, and right from the word go you're back in the twenties.

E4's Great British Summer of Games #2: The Curse of the Red Ninja by Joel Spencer | 28-06-09

Curse of the Red Ninja is a simple game about one ninja's quest to prove his mastery of the art of ninjitsu by killing his master Lawrence. A simply premise yes? (though how many ninjas do you hear of called Lawrence – perhaps Laurence Fishbourne in The Matrix). But what lies beneath is a point and click adventure game that's brutally difficult but comically quirky.
