Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Connect 4
Posted on 24 February, 2013 | No CommentsNo matter how you dress it up, suggesting that a virtual representation of Connect 4 is a unique selling point of the Nokia Lumia range is a laughable proposition.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Asphalt 5
Posted on 12 August, 2012 | No CommentsAs a publisher, Gameloft’s reputation isn’t exactly sparkling. While the company has undoubtedly delivered its fair share of innovative mobile products, the tendency to produce sub par handheld adaptations and revel in thinly veiled microtransaction vehicles often sees them tarred with an unfair brush. The... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Cro-Mag Rally
Posted on 4 August, 2012 | No CommentsIt seems that these days there are only three types of racing videogame: arcade, simulation and kart. This blanket statement is the common perception of the industry’s output, but this isn’t always the case, with Codemasters’ DiRT series being a perfect showcase of just how... -

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Butterfly
Posted on 29 April, 2012 | No CommentsAn understated Windows Phone 7 exclusive release, Butterfly is another of Microsoft Studios’ Xbox LIVE enabled titles that defy genre classification.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Fruit Ninja
Posted on 5 June, 2011 | No CommentsHalfbrick’s Fruit Ninja is one of those games that transcends market boundaries.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Fable: Coin Golf
Posted on 10 April, 2011 | No CommentsDespite the efforts by other publishers to bring their most popular franchises to Windows Phone 7, the format holder seems fairly reluctant to follow suit.
