Gamezone isnt bad but it's American.

Go to metacritic. It will give you a wide range of reviews and give you an immediate idea of the breadth of opinion, including gamespot and ign.

Have you got a PC? Get old copies of baldurs gate and neverwinter nights. They'll give you a cople of hundred house of absolutely huge worlds with epic storylines for about six pounds each and they aren't graphically demanding at all.

Cheers mate. Have just been looking at reviews, and I'm going old school.

Off to buy Punch Out!!!

[Mikecg]

Cool.

[Keef]

Mockney, would I need to buy a pc controller for those games? Bulder's gate looks cool, and Amazon have a compilation of the first 2 + expansions for ?10 something.

Yahtzee is unequivocally enthusiastic about a game:

Duke Nukem Forever

[mockney piers]

Genius. Was he bored this week perchce?

[Keef]

Just a note to say that Punch Out for wii is full of old school charm.

[bon3yard]

Put it this way only Portal has ever recieved such a glowing review, if you want to see him at his poisonour best check out his Tomb Raider Underworld Review.

[mockney piers]

He loves the first (modern era) prince of Persia, super mario galaxy did ok, as did braid and COD4 wasn't far off a big thumbs up. Anything else can more r less be summer up as scathing contempt.

Mind you I think he's basically spot on roughly 100% of the time!

The guys a legend, since discovering him via this forum I look forward to his weekly reviews, guarenteed to cheer me up no end :)

...and I have to agree with mockney piers, I think he's generally spot on with most of his reviews....although I am a fan of RTS games which he seems to loath.

[bon3yard]

Any idea when Duke Nukem Forever is released on the 360?

I believe it is being released on the first of never, and the review is fake.

[mockney piers]

You've not watched many Zero Punctuation reviews have you paragon ;)

I think Ben was having a slow week and felt like ranting about something a bit different.

[paragon]

I am confused. I have seen some of the reviews before. But this one is satire on that game never being made isn't it?

[mockney piers]

I think it's more a polemic on the state of the games industry as a whole.

[bon3yard]

Yes, Paragon...I am a right royal berk. Just rewatched it. Having a blonde day today. Still, the demo for Alan Wake kinda makes up for it.

[mockney piers]

Ha ha, I take it all back paragon; seriously bon3yard??! whoops :D

[bon3yard]

Yes, thank you. Thats quite enough of that. :-$

[EDKiwi]

Well at least you didn't write in and ask where you can buy a copy of Duke Nukem Forever....check out the letter of the week at the end of this weeks review

Bionic Commando Review

Have to say Alan Wake looks pretty good, will keep an eye out for it when it comes out.

[mockney piers]

my first iPhone/touch game recommendation, which actually stands up as a game and makes good use of the touch screen is Zen Bound

It's sublime, great music and weirdly fascinating, plus the music is then a free download from iTunes.

Basically select a little wooden carving hanging from a tree and wrap it in paint soaked string to paint it.

That's pretty much it but it just works!

IGN give it 95%

[bon3yard]

Eh?

[mockney piers]

Edited, hope it makes more sense

[bon3yard]

Phew, thought I'd finally lost it.

[Keef]

This looks feckin awesome!!!!
