It’s a big time of year for football (soccer) fans. Leagues all over the world are getting stuck into new seasons, and the latest wave of football videogames is released to coincide with this. FIFA ’10 has been released and Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 is coming soon, but Ubisoft clearly didn’t want to be left out and have released their own game, entitled Academy of Champions.

The boy who lived is back and, funnily enough, it seems he is still living despite many close calls. Of course, I am talking about the one and only, Harry Potter.

At one point during this month I actually got a little bit worried. Why? Because I had not received the latest title from EA’s MySims series.

But how does the Wii version of the latest Wolverine game hold up to scrutiny? Watch now as I attempt to graft adamantium to the skeleton of Activision’s latest offering. Continue Reading…
One of the highlights of my life is receiving videogames in the mail. The thrill of ripping open the packaging like ‘twas Christmas morning, holding the case in your hands for the very first time like a newborn child, and then inserting the game into the corresponding console and feeling that rush as the game fires up for the first time ever. All of a sudden, the game world you’ve been dreaming about for months appears, unfolds before your very eyes, and what was once dream is now reality. You dive headfirst into this incredible new virtual experience, crossing things off your ‘things to try when the game arrives’ list, and loving every minute of it while also feeling a sense of childlike joy with every new discovery.
