Frogwares developed an investigation game that blends point-and-click and hidden object game mechanics with a variety of puzzle types. The game put players in the shoes of Sherlock Holmes who is to investigate a murder of a young artist who was wrapped in a gorgeous Persian carpet after he was killed.

"The events are pretty basic, but are very similar to what we've seen in show jumping competitions that occasionally play weekdays in the mid afternoons on ESPN. There are a number of jumps that need to be cleared in a certain order, and players are ranked based on their time, with penalties given for mistakes."

"In Nanostray 2, Shin'en has addressed the most critical of the flaws that pulled down the original Nanostray, added a few new twists and turns, and produced a solid game that'll please anyone who digs this type of classic arcade shooter."

""...this game will introduce you to many lovely characters. Just like in other games created by Sandlot, all customer types are very realistically and ironically depicted (you’re going to design interior for students obsessed with video games, hippies that cannot stand anything new and fashionable, people that love funhouses, cowboys etc.).""

IT Territory Casual released Enigma - an innovative hidden object game that will make players look for hidden objects on the classical paintings created by artists of all epochs. According to the game plot, many genious canvases were stolen from museums. And you, as a professional detective and art expert need to find them and restore the damaged paintings.

"Typically when you play a puzzle game, you are given an objective and perhaps a few different ways that you can accomplish this task. However, you're not frequently asked to readjust the reality of the world simply by manipulating the camera to close gaps between platforms. The same could be said about erasing pitfalls by changing a camera angle so a column appears to cover a hole. These optical illusions form the basis behind Sony's latest PSN title, echochrome, which asks players to constan..."

"Some of the Medic achievements were dodgy at a first glance.

- ubering a scout
- getting a heavy to punch during an uber
- shooting people for an achievement
- bonesawing people for an achievement

And a lot more combat type of achievements. Now normally this wouldn't be a problem, because the medic also does combat in a normal round. But what is a problem that some of these achievements are impossible to complete if you play the medic as he should be played."

Ever since its release, Mario Kart Wii has been recieving stellar reviews from gaming sites everywhere. And now Kotaku have reviewed the game, analyzing even the small parts of Mario Kart Wii.

(Go to the source to read full review, including the pros and cons of the game)

19 reviews for the latest Grand Theft Auto title thus far, and all carry a score of 98 or 100 (most carry the latter). 277 user reviews average out to 8.3. Considering the freezing errors we've seen, the online troubles, and the suspicious activity at IGN, is it fair to be suspicious, or at least critical?

In another stellar review of Rockstar Games' imminent sandbox title, GameSpot have awarded Grand Theft Auto IV a perfect score of 10.



Akin to IGN's glowing review of the game, this is the first perfect score the notoriously tough GameSpot review team have awarded in several years. Other games that share this honour include Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3, Chrono Cross, Soul Calibur and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Here is another review of the most anticipated game at the moment. GTA IV. Less than a day away, this review has made me want the game even more. They have gone quite in-depth with this, mentioning little things such the difficulty of driving around a corners plus the different radio stations that you can listen to.

Cannot wait, this review is raving about it!

So the results are in, and to no one's surprise GTA IV is being touted as an incredible game, with an immersive story, impressive graphics, a fairly good multiplayer mode, and a whole lot more.

GameTrailers reinforces this with their review of the game, leading to a 9.8/10 score, and very few complaints.

IGN have posted their review of the free roaming king that is Grand Theft Auto IV, along with an exclusive video review.



Grand Theft Auto IV will be available this Tuesday for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 systems in a worldwide release.

"From the review:
...The writing and voice acting are double-edged swords in Obscure: The Aftermath. On one hand, the developers intended the title to be a throwback to those corny and campy horror flicks where teenagers throw popcorn at the screen in protest of a character doing or saying something stupid. If the rest of the game wasn't so clunky, this would really help pull that design off. Unfortunately, with this clunkiness, players can't be sure if the bad dialog and acting aren't just a..."

While European gamers have been enjoying Mario Kart Wii for weeks now, us North American gamers have to wait until April 27 to play the game. The wait will be worth it though, as IGN describes Mario Kart Wii as "one of the best console Karts in years".

IGN praises the online play as being the best Nintendo online effort ever, even trumping Smash Bros. Brawl. The graphics are charming and polished, and run at a smooth 60 FPS. All in all, Mario Kart Wii is a must-have for all Wii owners.

Warhawk has constantly been keeping people's thumbs nice and sore this last few months with both an expansion pack and a update. Now PSU have reviewed the latest piece of downloadable content for Warhawk titled Operation Broken Mirror and so far their impression is very positive giving the pack 9/10 and saying it is well worth the money if your into Warhawk.

"There are some Pokemon that are just a pain in the butt to catch - legendaries, Pokemon that run around the map, honey tree Pokemon, etc. Thankfully, as the Pokemon games have progressed, many of these Pokemon are much easier to catch in Diamond/Pearl than they were in the forerunners. Still, it makes us reminisce about the good old days. We had our fair share of frustrations back then, but it all seems a bit funny now. This week's Pokemusings is a flashback dealing with some extremely diffic..."

"You could argue that in Super Stardust HD, you have more than just three weapons at your disposal. You have your speed, your deadly boost and area-clearing bombs to take advantage of. But we can discuss the fundamentals of space combat some other time. Right now, we're talking about Super Stardust HD Solo, the latest expansion pack that adds additional content to the PSN downloadable title Super Stardust HD. Developed by Housemarque, the Solo pack supplements the single-player modes of Super ..."

IGN the other day reviewed the US version of the newest hit Square Enix DS game, The World Ends With You. It received top praise from review Mark Bozon, taking note of the game's excellent soundtrack, unique and challenging battle system, and the atmosphere generated by the game.

The World Ends With You features the Stride Cross Battle System, which involves the player controlling both the protagonist Neku and a partner, with the touch screen and D-pad, respectively. An auto-battle syste...

"Ikaruga is not for everyone, but it's arguably one of the best values to hit Xbox Live Arcade, considering how much many of us paid for the import Dreamcast version (or the Naomi one!). The appeal may be limited due to its niche genre and unforgiving difficulty, but even if you've never played a Treasure shooter before, you owe it to yourself to see what the fuss is about."

For those living under a rock, should note that the Playstation Store has now changed and as you can see from the link, it's most certainly for the better. However what exactly are the impressions of the non-Sony folk that have played it? Well IGN are here to give us just that.

The Official Xbox Magazine has reviewed GTA4 and scans have hit the internet. With a shocking score of 10/10. Is the game really that great. We will just have to wait and find out.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot may well be one of the horror titles of the year according to Gaming Nexus. They have praised the game saying that Monolith (the developers) have addressed pretty much every issue present in the first game. The only real let downs being the lack of story in the later half of the game and a poor online component. In the end they gave the game a 8.5

"Just like in a prequel, you’re going to search for your daughter and husband kidnapped by Lillith - an evil fairy of nightsleep and dreams seeking to marry your beloved man. So, you’re to find your family by traveling across the realms of fairies and even go to the world of mortals to get on your family’s track.

A mystical journey where everything is covered with a dreamy mist is waiting for us…"

"Beautiful, stylized, epic -- Capcom's acclaimed adventure finally comes home to Wii"
Not a bad way to start off a review huh? And I bet the fact that it got a 9/10 isn't so bad either? Stunning graphics, awesome soundtrack and an awesome storyline convinces me to buy it. Especially since in the first paragraph of the review, the dudes telling you to buy it now.
