    Myth War Online

    Hit, Myth or Maybe?

    If you're entering the world of massively-multiplayer games, there's one particular world which you're going to have to be careful about not entering too much. That of the World of Warcraft. In these years after Blizzard's brave attempt to collect all the money in the world into an enormous pouch, we're going to see a lot of games copying it, one way or another. The obvious problem is that... well, if people wanted to play World of Warcraft, they're busy playing World of Warcraft already. And unless you're the proud possessor of a certain goose purloined from a cloud-inhabiting giant, you don't have the money (or the money to buy the expertise) to match Blizzard. The only thing to do is... well... do something else.

    Review | X-Men: The Official Game

    Officially not very good.

    There's a very good reason why people are instantly suspicious about movie-licensed games - because nine times out of ten they're a monumental waste of time that insult the intelligence of even the most dim-witted gamer. Case in point X-Men: The Official Game, a tired, generic beat 'em up so bored with its own pointless existence that it even decided to commit suicide on us shortly before the (anti) climax.

    Review | MotoGP '06

    Torque to the hand!

    My understanding of the noble motorbike lurks somewhere between my understanding of owls (ast-hoot-ly observant) and my understanding of gravel (WHERE DID IT COME FROM HOW WHY ETC): I've never owned it, I don't know who makes it or how or why, but I'm capable of distinguishing it from its friends. Yes readers - I know - it's got all the makings of the Surely I'm Not The Best Person To Review This intro. But wait! I'm really quite good at MotoGP '06! And I love it to bits! So either this is a complete failure, or it's that rarest of things: a niche game with genuinely broad appeal. Stop paging down to the score.
