Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Sacred Citadel
Posted 1 week ago | No CommentsThe Sacred franchise may not be the biggest name in the videogames industry, but it’s developed enough of a following to support not only a third title, but also a spin-off in another genre. Sacred Citadel is the unlikely scrolling beat-‘em-up offspring of an action... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Poker Night 2
Posted 1 week ago | No CommentsTelltale Games are developing a reputation for adapting existing franchises into interactive experiences that offer an obvious juxtaposition to the source material. Their latest release, Poker Night 2, does exactly this with a number of beloved characters, and is both respectful and humorous with it.... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
Posted 2 weeks ago | No CommentsLaunching on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC today via each system’s respective digital service(s), Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is somewhat of an unusual videogame production. Its self-effacing humour isn’t unique but it’s far from common; even more so from a big publisher and... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Alien Spidy
Posted on 3 April, 2013 | No CommentsKalypso Media’s campaign to make an impression on the console gaming scene in 2013 continues this week with the launch of Alien Spidy. Sandwiched between the strategy and mayhem of Omerta – City of Gangsters and Dollar Dash, and the upcoming stealth action of DARK,... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Terraria
Posted on 27 March, 2013 | No CommentsConsidered to be the indie darling in Minecraft’s shadow (forgetting that Minecraft itself started life as a indie title) Terraria today makes it’s console debut via 505 Games, a publisher that is more frequently becoming associated with taking risks in impressively innovative titles as opposed... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Darkstalkers Resurrection
Posted on 26 March, 2013 | 1 CommentWhether fans of the modern beat-‘em-up genre acknowledge it or not, they have a lot to thank the Darkstalkers franchise for. While Street Fighter maintained its status as Capcom’s cash cow, it was Darkstalkers that allowed the company to experiment, to address alternatives and gauge... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Dollar Dash
Posted on 6 March, 2013 | No CommentsLaunching on the Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC today (and coming to PlayStation Network in the bear future) Candygun Games’ Dollar Dash is the kind of experience that console digital distribution systems were made for, and yet are so rarely seen these days. A gentle... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Planets Under Attack
Posted on 2 January, 2013 | No CommentsTopWare Interactive’s Planets Under Attack has seen a number of cosmetic overhauls since it’s initial announcement, reveal through the spread of screenshots and video footage made available in the intervening period, but with a title as deeply strategic as this one has to winder just... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Sonic the Fighters
Posted on 28 December, 2012 | No CommentsThe third title in SEGA’s first sweep of the Model 2 arcade re-releases for modern digital platforms, Sonic the Fighters is perhaps the most curious of all. Not because of its popularity (being a relatively minor release in both arcade and home console editions) nor... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Fighting Vipers
Posted on 26 December, 2012 | No CommentsThe second of three of SEGA’s Model 2 arcade beat-‘em-ups released in the 90’s that have recently found a home on modern console digital distribution services, Fighting Vipers is perhaps one of SEGA’s least popular intellectual properties (IP). Not in terms of fandom, but in... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Black Knight Sword
Posted on 25 December, 2012 | No CommentsThe latest title from Grasshopper Manufacture has received very little attention in the run up to release. Indeed, for a developer that is widely considered to be one of the most consistently innovative of all those working on current-generation consoles, Black Knight Sword has been... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Virtua Fighter 2
Posted on 24 December, 2012 | No CommentsOriginally released in 1994, Virtua Fighter 2 was considered a remodelling of the original Virtua Fighter to make use of the new hardware available at the time (Model 2 arcade boards) as opposed to a fully fledged sequel. It was the then-definitive version of SEGA’s... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Knytt Underground
Posted on 21 December, 2012 | No CommentsThe relatively young Ripstone is beginning to develop a reputation amongst the PlayStation community for delivering interesting digital products that other publishers might shy away from. From Pure Chess to the extensive PlayStation Mobile support, Ripstone’s catalogue demonstrates bold projects delivered through the most modern... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Fuel Overdose
Posted on 20 December, 2012 | No CommentsComing from indie developer I-Friqiya, Fuel Overdose is a new PlayStation 3 exclusive that aims to rectify the wrongs of Mashed’s spiritual successor, Wrecked: Revenge Revisited. While 505 Games were keen to deliver a follow-up to a cult classic, I-Friqiya don’t have any such heritage... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken
Posted on 1 November, 2012 | No CommentsOriginally launched on the PlayStation Network over a year ago, the long awaited PC version of Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken has finally arrived on digital distribution channels. Building on the success of the browser-based Rocketbirds: Revolution! and expands the franchise with new characters and a brand... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Zombie Driver HD
Posted on 28 October, 2012 | No CommentsExor Studios is not the most well known development studio, but this is mainly due to the outfit’s relative youth. With a handful of popular casual videogames under their belt, Zombie Driver HD is their first attempt at a console release. While it may not... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise
Posted on 10 October, 2012 | No CommentsReleased in 2010, the original Naughty Bear was unfairly criticised by many. While it’s true that the experience was a somewhat bug ridden affair it remained a hugely enjoyable high-score romp akin to a Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater videogame, a facet that many impatient gamers... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Realms of Ancient War
Posted on 10 October, 2012 | No CommentsThe latest digital release from Focus Home Interactive sees the understated Realms of Ancient War released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. A new title from Wizarbox, a studio which itself is somewhat understated, Realms of Ancient War is an original production that aims... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit
Posted on 2 October, 2012 | No CommentsDespite being promoted by one of the biggest names ever seen in the videogames industry (despite being a far less imposing force than the company once was), Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit hasn’t received much attention in the run-up to its launch as... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: NiGHTS Into Dreams…
Posted on 2 October, 2012 | No CommentsThe latest of SEGA’s continuing stream of modern revisions of classic videogames brings us to another cult classic, a Sonic Team spin-off that is a legend unto itself, thanks to the unique controller the publisher offered alongside special editions of the product. A misjudged re-launch... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Jet Set Radio
Posted on 21 September, 2012 | No CommentsJet Set Radio originally launched on SEGA’s ill-fated Dreamcast console to overwhelming critical acclaim. Considered one of the console’s true gems, a cult classic title that received a Game Boy Advance rendition and a sequel on the original Xbox, it’s been ten years since SEGA... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Rock Band Blitz
Posted on 4 September, 2012 | No CommentsWhile Electronic Arts may have lost confidence in the Rock Band franchise, developer Harmonix certainly hasn’t; using it to launch a brand new virtual platform is a strikingly bold move. The recently released Rock Band Blitz functions less like a traditional Rock Band videogame and... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: The Expendables 2 Videogame
Posted on 23 August, 2012 | No CommentsAs a motion-picture franchise The Expendables lends itself to videogame adaptation more than most: enter the guise of a 1990’s action hero and blow stuff up. It’s such a simple premise that it’s hard to believe it’s taken two bug screen instalments for a publisher... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Rainbow Moon
Posted on 11 August, 2012 | No CommentsSideQuest Studios’ Rainbow Moon is something of an oddity on the PlayStation Network. It’s a videogame that promotes long established gameplay values through a very modern attitude, mixing old and new via a console digital distribution service. This may be fairly common in genres such... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Quantum Conundrum
Posted on 6 August, 2012 | No CommentsSquare Enix’s recently launched Quantum Conundrum has received a significant amount of attention simply for being the latest title from the co-creator of the critically acclaimed Portal, Kim Swift. While that is of course a welcome pedigree upon which to build a videogame, and subsequently... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD
Posted on 31 July, 2012 | No CommentsIt’s been a long and winding road for the Tony Hawk’s videogame franchise. Having made its debut back in 1999, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater set a standard for skateboarding videogames that wouldn’t be beaten for several years, aside from its own successors. Not only did... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Awesomenauts
Posted on 29 July, 2012 | 1 CommentRonimo Games are developing a reputation for delivering unique and interesting takes on existing genres. With a team comprised of developers responsible for the original de Blob PC title, the studio was born on the back of successful partnership with THQ. From this enterprising foundation... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: The Walking Dead: Episode 2 – Starved for Help
Posted on 21 July, 2012 | No CommentsThe first episode of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead series established new ground for the point-n’-click genre not through revolution, but through rejuvenation. The design took long established conventions and made them fresh again simply by rethinking their delivery. There was no trickery or hidden... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad
Posted on 7 July, 2012 | No CommentsYou may think of 2XL Games as a somewhat unknown quantity, and yet for rally videogame fans it’s quite probably that you’ve already played one of their videogames. There may not be the trademark familiarity of all of Codemasters’ racing titles in Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad,... -
Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013
Posted on 4 July, 2012 | No CommentsThe Magic the Gathering franchise has found a comfortable home on the current-generation of consoles, thanks to the advent of digital distribution. So much so in fact, that nearly every system which can offer a version of the card game as a downloadable product is...
