A Guest Review by Tom McShane Game: Guitar Hero Van Halen Format: Xbox 360 Console: PS2, PS3, Wii Developer: NeverSoft Publisher: Activision Genre: Music/Rhythm If there’s one guitar solo in the history of all music (nay, all sound) that makes women moist and gives guys the nut-chills, it’s Van Halen’s ‘Eruption’, and before now the only coverage the spandex-clad, harmony-fuelled rock gods have

Ah, the light gun game. One of the last bastions of UK arcade gaming. If you’re out scoring some strikes at your local Megabowl you’ll inevitably see a small cabinet next to the pool and air hockey tables, conjuring memories of those old classics such as Time Crisis, Virtua Cop, et al. Why not have a play for nostalgia’s sake? But then it hits you: £2 to go on a game I’m blatantly not going to

As the new financial year starts, it's apt to start it off with a look to the future and to reflect a little on the here and now of today in gaming. What manner of surprises lie in store for this year? Read and find out, they probably won't be things that you would have predicted anyway, or at least not in the same capacity here. So, here are today's headlining gaming announcements and news all

Game: DJ Hero Console: PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii Developer: FreeStyle Games Publisher: Activision Released: October 2009 This music-game fad might be over pretty soon if the sales of games like The Beatles: Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5 can be attributed to a trend of people falling out of love with plastic instruments that turn you into a Rock Idol. It's a shame, as Guitar Hero 5 really did move

A Guest Article by Funk I've always played CoD4 and MW2 with headphones on as I think it's one of the best advantages you can have in the game. The downside is that although you can hear exactly where people are, you can't actually talk to people in games. It bothers me sometimes being in games where people are slagging me off because I'm winning and not be able to respond in some way. I've been

It's 2010 so, naturally, we look back at the previous year in various different ways. The most popular form seems to be all over the TV in the form of list shows, but they're inexpensive to make and get good viewing figures (I think), so I'm going to conform to that because I'm pretty bored, and the Blog hasn't had a new article all year (hurr-durr).

(About PC gaming.) A Guest Article by Mr Party Hat No-one wants to play PC games. Not really. Your mouse is covered in hand-jam, your keyboard is infested with bits of toilet roll from an attempt to mop up the latest batch of semen, the heat of your graphics card pushes the room temperature beyond the realms of human acceptability and, ultimately, it costs too much. But what if you want to

I’ve been playing games for almost as long as I can remember. I can distinctly visualise hassling my older cousin to have a go on Super Mario Land on his Gameboy when I was around 4 years old. I remember playing Super Mario Bros. 3, Punchout, Marble Madness and more on a friend’s NES every week for a number of years and a different cousin and I spent tens of hours playing Contra 3. I think it’s

I have never really been one for RPGs in the classical sense – the inane ‘grinding’ to produce a team that can take on the next big-bad, of whom should really have taken into account that the player would generally be at a lower level by this point in the long-winded, over-drawn dross of what the developers profess to be a story. Or perhaps the inclusion of rooms measuring barely sufficient in

I would like to think that I'm the kind of person who doesn't take things for granted. When things are going well, I tend to reflect upon it as much as I can. When things are going bad, I feel I have no regrets as I truly got as much enjoyment out of the good things as possible and still try to think of everything that's still good. They say "you don't know that you've got till it's gone", but

Gaming is a form of escapism - a chance to get away from a not necessarily unhappy but decidedly dull life. Not something to really moan about, but it's either that or you die. You risk your life every time you leave the house. Gap-year students always end up dead somewhere in Cambodia. Sky-diving? Fuck that. Pop down to the shops to get some Frisps? (Do they still make those?) That sounds more

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark. There he is, shuffling towards you. A vaguely comical appearance, but there's nothing funny about him. He is dead but he is walking, and he is walking towards you with only the hunger for your flesh and brains driving him on. He is soaked with blood, most of it spewing from his gaping wounds. His jaw is hanging from his skull only

Not only do I remember the first time I played Pilotwings 64, I remember the exact circumstances that I bought it roughly eight years ago; on holiday in Cornwall having passed a small shop that was selling games. I remember seeing the original PAL release of Pokémon Stadium hogging quite a bit of the shelf space but my eye was caught by a game tucked away in the back of the bottom shelf with a

When the original Legend of Zelda was released for the Famicom/NES in 1986, it broke the mold for adventure games. It had an innovative bird's eye view perspective, as well as a completely open and massive (for the time) game world to explore at your own wont or whim. You amassed yourself weaponry instead having it all from the start, and you upgraded how much damage you could take by adding to

Zelda games, for me, are almost the single reason why I love Nintendo so. Ever since I first played Link’s Awakening all those years ago, I was hooked. Then Ocarina of Time came out and I was blown away, and this carried on through to the end of Majora’s Mask. I couldn’t wait to see what Nintendo would do next with their franchise. But then there was Wind Waker, and whilst it not being a bad game

A Guest Article by Master HunterRemember the nineties? When Gaming really started to take off and icons were born. When online gaming was only a dream and we didn't need achievements to enjoy our games. There are so many things that happened during this decade; the birth of the Playstation, the golden age of the SNES and Mega Drive, analogue sticks and 3D gaming started to become commonplace.The

Despite being closed for a number of days now (I've only just noticed) the results are in! 22 people voted (moar plx), 45% said that they would indeed like to contribute (I'm guessing a few already have, bless 'em), 45% said maybe, which is lovely enough, I guess, and 2 people (9%) said they wouldn't, which is rather mean-spirited, but at least they answered.I guess you're all thinking the same

A Guest Article by KrystalI don't pretend to know the answer to this question, but as a female myself, I would hope that I would have at least a brief insight into why girls don't tend to play games. Personally, I am an avid gamer and will play anything from a gritty FPS to an RPG with a cutesy story, (see Eternal Sonata). However, I think it is fair to say that the majority of women/girls will

I've been attending the EIEF for a number of years now. In fact, when I started attending it was still called the Edinburgh Games Festival. This year's event, which was held between the 10th and 12th of August, was notable for its radically different scale from previous years. Now much smaller, or at least with a lot of room dedicated to the Dare Protoplay exhibit instead of actual games, I got

Tetris. It's a game that everyone knows about, it's the game that made the original Gameboy and there are still hundreds of different versions being made across all platforms, but does it still reign supreme over the rest of the genre?Firstly, let's take a look deeper into the existing franchise that is owned by Nintendo. The most recent version is Tetris DS (a Wii version of Tetris is still in

Today I was lucky enough to have a good sit down with the multiplayer Beta code of Red Faction: Guerrilla. Having not played any Red Faction games for any longer than 5 minutes previous, I can say that I was a little shocked at what I got. Unlike the first-person perspective of preceding titles in the saga, this new iteration takes its form in the third person. A growing trend in games as of late

Do you want to roam around a massive underwater neon-covered art deco city? Want to fight off its mutated and insane inhabitants? Ever wanted to stick power-giving hypodermic needles into your left arm on continual basis? How about wrestling with a superhuman in a diving suit?If you answered "YES, FRIGGING YES!" to any of the above questions, then you need to calm down a little and play BioShock.

Personally, I’m not one to play a 'realistic' looking game or one that relies on its graphics to provide an immersive experience. I’m the usually the kind of person that’ll play something that’s cartoony, slow paced or something out of the ordinary (like Geometry Wars for example). Realism certainly has a place in my heart, I loved GoldenEye in its time – the height of realistic gameplay – I was

A Guest Article by Ronan the LibrarianGears of War arrived in the murky depths of November 2006 to a grand fanfare on the Xbox 360. Before this, the console was merely an easier way to manage online Halo 2 matches with the added bonus of being able to play a select few other games to boost your Gamerscore. Apart from Call of Duty 2, the machine played host to very few online games that managed to

Once upon a time, in an age before GTA IV had been played by every man and his dog, I wrote a whole Retrospective of articles chronicling the major GTA games. Because this blog needs content to keep y'all coming back for more - and as I was quite proud of them - I'm going to re-write them and post them here. You can already read them on my personal blog, but I'm not going to link you to them as I

I don't think I can call myself a 'game critic', even though I have criticised games for not doing things right, or being incredibly frustrating or completely unfair (I've used that last one a lot), I'd rather heap praise upon a game than criticise it (unless I feel it deserves it) and as such, I'd much prefer to be called a gaming enthusiast. However, when it comes down to it, and a game critic

A Guest Article by Mr Party HatTen years ago, videogames were not the force they are today. Telling someone that you were a gamer garnered a similar response as telling them that you were a paedophile with TB. The PlayStation was doing its best to attract the after pub crowd, but stopped short of true mass market penetration. We wanted people to play with. We wanted our mums and dads to play

Mass Effect is an awesome game. It might have some issues with repetitiveness with regards to the side-quests, as well as technical issues with the game not loading the textures quickly enough and the fact that the inventory system is a complete shambles, the motions of characters can sometimes be stunted and robotic and the conversations can be a little strange, but other than that it's an

Welcome one, welcome all, to the TGN Blog. An experiment to see if the members of the TGN Forum can actually produce something worth reading for once. Hopefully, in the near future, you'll see the occasional review of a game or film or whatever from some of the members of the TGN community. However, more likely is that it'll be ignored and probably deleted. All trusted members (all three of them)
