PS3 Review: uDraw Gaming Tablet (With uDraw Studio: Instant Artist)
It’s a fun learning tool, and while it’s a rather expensive alternative to simply picking up a sketchbook and some colouring books, if your kids are interested in art and love gaming, then it’ll keep them entertained over Christmas while inspiring and encouraging their imagination and...

PSN Review: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (US)

PSN Review: Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (US)
Sadly the drab, cut-cost host narration and extras mean it’s not the most stylish representation of the game, and the repetitive audio tends to become monotonous over time. It’s a perfectly fine game, and delivers the core quiz game of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? exactly as you’d expect...

PSN Review: Jurassic Park: The Game

PSN Review: Jurassic Park: The Game
It’s an adventure game in the truest sense of the word, crafting engaging, likeable characters and putting them and you through scene after scene of breathless, rollercoaster peril. Sadly, while Telltale Games reaffirm that dialogue, story and character is their forte, Jurassic Park: The Game is an...

PSN Review: Hollywood Squares

PSN Review: Hollywood Squares
It’s very simple, and the limited cast and budget-level presentation mean that it loses a lot of the show’s comedy banter and overall appeal, but Hollywood Squares is still a really fun home version of the show and is perfectly suited for the PSN, where sharper visuals, added online multiplayer...

Blu-Review: Mother’s Day

Blu-Review: Mother’s Day
It’s strained under the weight of a few too many twists and an overly large stack of characters, but it’s also bolstered by an excellent and wonderfully nutty performance by Rebecca De Mornay and an impressive supporting cast. It’s far from a masterpiece, but as home invasion horror movies...
