Devil May Cry 4 – Xbox 360 versus PlayStation 3 comparison
Capcom’s hack ‘n’ slash series leaps, guns blazing and sword-waving, onto Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with sparkly demos. The great news is that both versions are essentially identical. Both versions look, sound and play superbly. The PS3 has a weensy edge in graphics thanks to some noticeable texture tizzing on the 360. The [...]

Turok – Xbox 360 versus PlayStation 3 comparison
This is one where you’d only see the difference if you played one right after the other but you’d always be dissatisfied with the audio on one. This is a comparison of the two Turok demos recently released on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Which comes out best? The first thing that strikes you about [...]

MX vs ATV: Untamed – Xbox 360 versus PlayStation 3 comparison and preview

Need for Speed: ProStreet Xbox 360 vs PlayStation 3
Erk. No contest. Electronic Art’s incompetence with regard to PS3 coding seemingly knows no bounds. In a time where the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue demo, Ratchet and Clank Future and Call of Duty 4 full game prove that poor PS3 efforts are simply production shortcomings, EA demonstrate their desperate lunge for the bottom line once [...]

Need for Speed: ProStreet Xbox 360 demo review
Another year, another Need for Speed, the eleventh. Is this reheated left-overs like NFS: Carbon or a fresh direction for the venerable franchise? Fresh-ish I’m pleased to report that developer EA Canada didn’t just serve up their Need for Speed: Underground tech in HD as they did in the lazy Need for Speed: Carbon. Of [...]

Bee Movie Game videogame preview
If there’s one thing young kids love about games it’s split-second button pressing and waiting for interminable unskippable cut-scenes to play every time you fail and need to retry. Adults love that even more. Every game designer knows this. Things start badly with an endlessly pulsating Bee Movie Game logo. No “Press START [...]

Sega Rally Xbox 360 preview / demo review
Sega Rally is the only of the incoming racers that boasts an entirely new feature: deformable terrain that makes a physical difference to the driving surface, therefore, your car handling.

NASCAR 08 PlayStation 3 preview / demo review
The demo for Electronic Arts annual serious racing franchise is now up on PlayStation 3′s United States PlayStation Store. Sadly, it appears that 2008 is going to be a very bad year for Electronic Arts annual game franchises and this iteration still doesn’t bring the feature set of the previous generation console games to the PlayStation [...]

Colin McRae: DiRT Xbox 360 versus PC versus PlayStation 3 comparison and preview
Codemasters have released a PlayStation 3 demo for their off-road racing game DiRT. The first thing that hits you is the size: PC: 833MB Xbox 360: 770MB PlayStation 3: 555MB Either Codies techies have recently learned how to zip files or the PS3 has significantly lower quality something somewhere. The question is: does it make [...]

Lair mini preview and HD widescreen wallpapers
Dragons are cool, no question. So it remains a bit of a mystery why dragon-related screen entertainment in the form of movies and games tends toward disappointing at best. Lair is a game that sounds technically impressive (1920×1080 resolution, 60 frames per second, 10,000 feet high to ground-level seamless gameplay area) but every time I see [...]
