Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: We Sing: Pop!

31 March, 2012
By

Electronic Theatre ImageThe latest in what is now a long line of We Sing titles available for Wii gamers, We Sing: Pop! is another title from Nordic Games designed to increase their karaoke videogame dominance on the hugely popular home console. Betting against it at this point would be nothing short of foolhardy.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: BIT.TRIP Complete

30 March, 2012
By

Electronic Theatre ImageThe latest release from Rising Star Games is another of those titles that without the confidence and investment of the UK publisher might not have received quite the same level of attention. In this case however, it’s not just a singular videogame experience, but rather a compilation of an entire series. And while it’s true that for many the BIT.TRIP series is old hat, there’s a whole untapped market of Wii owners that there who don’t wish to – or simply don’t know how to – download new videogames directly to their console.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Get Up and Dance

14 November, 2011
By

Electronic Theatre ImageGusto Games’ recently launched Get Up and Dance is intended to pave the way for a new franchise, what could well become a series of releases less comparable to Just Dance in terms of market placement, but more so to We Sing. At present, it looks plausible that O-Games may wish to release a number of different titles covering various corners of the market as opposed to one all-encompassing annual update. As surprising as this may seem in the casual gamer climate, this is something that both Wii and PlayStation 3 are currently lacking.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Championship Jockey: G1 Jockey and Gallop Racer

18 September, 2011
By

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 Dynasty Warriors Next and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, the team are already gearing-up to take the same ground with the next generation of consoles. With that, to suggest that Championship Jockey: G1 Jockey and Gallop Racer is a step aside for the publisher wouldn’t be too unreasonable a statement. However, it’s certainly not a bad step to have taken.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Driver: San Francisco

2 September, 2011
By

Ubisoft’s Driver: San Francisco has had a rather publicly troubled development period. Originally intended for release back in 2010, the press demonstrations taking place shortly after the game’s official unveiling were met with a mixed response. Back to the drawing board for a whole then, but given  Electronic Theatre‘s appreciation of the build demonstrated in July of 2010, the team here are wondering exactly where that additional year of development time has been spent.

By

Electronic Theatre Image             Up-and-coming UK publisher PQube are set to launch their latest title across multiple formats this week, the unassuming Summer Challenge: Athletics Tournament. A celebration of the World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea, Summer Challenge: Athletics Tournament is a by-the-numbers videogame athletics presentation with an inviting arrangement.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Monochrome Racing

24 August, 2011
By

Electronic Theatre Image             The latest title to arrive from Nordcurrent, Monochrome Racing, is available now as a downloadable WiiWare title on Wii, and as a Minis title for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable (PSP). A pocket money price tag and platform ambiguity means that many gamers have been looking at Monochrome Racing with a great deal of interest, suggesting that the pick-up-and-play nature of the game may be perfect for less experienced players, but in reality it’s a game designed for those who have been playing for many years, with fond memories of the classics of the 16-bit era.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Captain America: Super Soldier

            Since SEGA acquired the rights to develop and publish videogames based on Marvel’s motion-picture releases a few years ago, Electronic Theatre has had the questionable privilege of reviewing many of the titles that have made their way to store shelves. Each time hopes have been high that the studio SEGA has chosen to develop the title can do our favourite superheroes justice, and each time there’s been a deep sense of regret. The latest offering, High Voltage Software’s interactive interpretation of Captain America: Super Soldier has received a lukewarm reaction throughout its development because of this very fact, and while it may not be a masterpiece of videogame design, it could be considered the start of better things.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: The Conduit 2

6 July, 2011

Electronic Theatre Image

            When Nintendo’s Wii made its first playable outing at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) back in 2006, many of the journalists on hand were wowed by the technical demonstration of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, citing the system as a perfect home for First-Person Shooter (FPS) games. And while Electronic Theatre was including in that opinion, such possibilities were never capitalised on, and Wii remains without its FPS killer app five years later.

Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Sonic Colours

1 January, 2011

Electronic Theatre Image

            Sonic Colours for Wii received a fairly mixed response throughout its development. While the signs were generally promising, many have thought that each of the releases on Wii starring Sonic the Hedgehog were as such, and yet disappointed with the final result. It’s safe to say that many had become weary of getting their hopes up, and so Sonic Colours was met with reluctant acceptance. Unfairly it know seems, as here of Wii, Sonic Colours presents one of the best adventures Sonic the Hedgehog has delivered in years.
