My OperaMultiple Reviews
Monday, July 7, 2008 7:56:20 PM
Been a hectic few days online, so rather than post each review individually I thought it more practical to list each here. So the lowdown...
Spider-Man: The Movie (Xbox)
A bit of history this one, written by Darran Jones (who is now the editor of the Retro Gamer publication) back in 2002. For some unknown reason it was lost during versions of Gamestyle, so its now back!
WALL-E (Wii)
Too often film licenses fail to deliver and this is one. While I'm really looking forward to the movie, this game just leaves a sour taste. Handily I did review the last Pixar title Ratatouille and developed by the same studio, it just feels very samey in places. Lazy and WALL-E deserves better! Banner snapshot by yours truly.
Football Manager 2008 (Xbox 360)
Adam struggled with this review as its just an interactive spreadsheet. So it is shorter than usual, my own advice is to try and weave some story into such a situation. Quite often I'll take up managing Raith Rovers FC and describe the fun that brings...
NASCAR 09 (Xbox 360)
Ok in parts but a tough job delivering a game based on a difficult and niche sport.
It's been a hectic few days as you can tell from this activity. I still have the rest of this week for The Nomad Soul which is ample time plus perhaps another purchase tomorrow - will see what's on offer and what we haven't reviewed as yet. Hopefully a lull will mean more indepth Blog posts right here.
