    Tokyo Jungle sequel could head to Croydon

    "If we were to make that, would it sell?"

    What's scarier than the idea of a future without mankind in which savage animals patrol the streets? If you answered that it's a night out in Croydon, you get all the points! Instead of seeing Pomeranians square up against elephants, a future Tokyo Jungle installment could well see Tiger Tiger face-off against The Black Sheep - the game's producer is open to the idea of setting a sequel in the jewel in Surrey's crown.

  15. FIFA 13 review

    Review | FIFA 13 review

    After extra time.

    If you had told me at the start of the year that I would spend more time in 2012 playing a football game not made by EA Canada than I did in the grip of its imperious FIFA series, then I guess I would have told you there was more chance of Robin Van Persie signing for Manchester United. But hey, strange things do happen.

  26. LittleBigPlanet Vita review

    Review | LittleBigPlanet Vita review

    Handmade, handheld.

    It shouldn't make sense. What place does a game in which a chew toy jumps through shoebox dioramas filled with peeling wallpaper, worn rugs and offcuts from grandma's fabric drawer have on some of humankind's most technologically-advanced entertainment hardware? Sony's task is usually to cover up the joins in its work - to arrange the plastic, glass and buttons to resemble sleek, black pebbles popped straight from the future. It seems curious that a game hand-stitched in Guildford should have ended up the poster boy for Sony's corporate wonder-conjuring.

    Review | App of the Day: Rayman Jungle Run
