Namco Bandai Games Europe’s autumn line-up is well pitched to fill a few gaps in the market. The recently released Dark Souls proves that there is still room for challenging videogames, and the forthcoming Naruto and Dragonball Z titles promise to deliver this year’s anime fix for fans of their respective series. This week’s release of Ace Combat: Assault Horizon has its own agenda however: to become the leading flight combat videogame on the current-generation systems.
With the ongoing Rugby World Cup in New Zealand placing England as one of the tournaments’ strongest competitors, the potential for videogame adaptations of the sport is greater now than ever before. Many videogames have tried on previous generations of hardware, but few have really grabbed the audience in the same way that Rugby World Cup 2011 could well do now, with the installed console base greater than ever before, and interest in the sport considered to be at it’s highest in decades.
Originally unveiled in 2007, id Software’s RAGE has a lot to live up to. It’s not just the latest videogame from the world famous studio, it’s not just the latest first-person shooter (FPS) from the grandfather of FPS games, and it’s not just the first title to be published by Bethesda Softworks since parent company Zenimax Media’s purchase of id Software. According to the team behind the game, it’s the first title in a brand new franchise; to be considered equal to the legacies of DOOM and QUAKE, RAGE will have to go quite a distance beyond modern expectations of FPS videogames.
Set to launch throughout North America and Europe this week, FromSoftware’s Dark Souls is about to become that game on everyone’s lips. It’s difficult, but never unfair. It’s punishing, but never does it make excuses for being that way. Above all else, it’s a videogame that tries to rewrite the rulebook on what it means to be a ‘core’ gamer, and for the most part it succeeds.
The latest release from Tecmo Koei Europe throws quite a contrast to their previous releases on the current-generation consoles. Prolific purveyors of the 3D scrolling beat-‘em-up games, Tecmo Koei Europe are responsible for a great deal of the combat-action games currently available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and Nintendo 3DS, and with 
Despite the pedigree of the team behind El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, it’s always been destined to achieve little more than a cult following. The off-the-wall biblical presentation and eccentric visual style would have suggested to many that El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is not a game for them already, but in that same regard there are likely to be a core market of gamers that’ll find the concept one of the most intriguing of the year. With the final release, it’s clear that El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron holds true to form, delivering as expected to both parties.
Deep Silver and Techland’s collaborative efforts on Dead Island have lead to an abnormal amount of attention being placed on a comparatively smaller production than the modern AAA line-up. With many publications citing the game as ‘one to watch’, expectations have been raised as to what gamers should expect of their visit to the isle of Banoi, and yet Dead Island still manages to surprise and entertain in equal measure.
The long-awaited third title in the Deus Ex series is no with us, available now on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. The multi-format delivery may well be a sign of the times, the need for a comprehensive release in order to achieve financial goals, but Deus Ex: Human Revolution hasn’t compromised in any other capacity. It’s a Deus Ex videogame just as you would expect, for better and for worse.
The Bleach franchise has seen a range of a hit-and-miss videogame titles launched bearing its name over the past few years. For every welcomingly innovative brawler the franchise has seen there’s an outdated, uneventful interactive interpretation of the franchise; for every
