Hands-On: Monster Hunter Tri at London's Science Museum on Wii

Review

For a lot of us here at Square-Go, Nintendo has been an integral part of our childhood. Whenever a Super Mario or Tetris theme is hummed or whistled, we are instantly struck with feelings of nostalgia of days spent infront of a screen, no Xbox Live or PSN to connect us to the rest of the world. Just us, a fizzy drink or two and a rotund plumber leaping from brick to block. Which is why when Nintendo chose to invite us to the 'Monster Hunter University' in order to learn about the latest title in the series, Monster Hunter Tri,we were more than happy to open our minds back to a younger state, and be treated more like the youth than the jaded cynics we all are now.

For the love of...Marvel VS Capcom 2 by Dave Cook | 04-06-09

With all the complex scripts, phoned-in celebrity voice acting and the frankly stupid claim of ‘photo-realism' in games these days, it's utterly refreshing to return to the colourful world of abstract gaming every now and then and take a departure from the grit of the real world.

Bionic Commando by Dave Cook | 18-05-09

This sequel to the 1988 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) original is testament to Capcom's and developer Grin's well-trained eye for delivering superb fan service. While it is a slick, highly-accomplished title in its own right, its painfully steep learning curve may put some players off. Original hero Nathan ‘RAD' Spencer returns after spending several years imprisoned by the military group he served under during the first game. Now, reunited with his bionic arm, Spencer is set free to bring down the ruthless terrorist organisation BioReign.

No Bones About It... by Dave Cook | 18-03-09

With console developers dusting off the relics of past generations like it's going out of fashion, ‘what was old is now new' seems to be the creed of the moment. Lucky for Backbone Entertainment then, who have a passion for the old school few can attest to. With several unique titles under their belt, such as the fun PSP platform series Death Jr, the developer is perhaps best known for their unmatched ability to give retro titles a new lease of life on outlets such as Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA). Most recently, their work on the exemplary Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix proved a fitting homage to Capcom's fighting series, with crisp animé visuals, tight gameplay and steady online modes.
