Stuck in a rut, Puzzle Quest 2 fails to deliver anything new
The first Puzzle Quest was a devilish combo of classic RPG elements and the best of the puzzle world, resulting in an addictive blend that made many road trips, bank lines, and family gatherings a little more bearable. Puzzle Quest 2 introduces some new mechanics and a more robust campaign setting, but all the additions may be a little too light to convert any existing Puzzle Quest addicts.

Toy Story 3 delivers gameplay that lasts to infinity, and beyond
Making a good kids’ game is hard. By the time your skills are refined enough to deliver a solid experience you’re out of touch with your audience. It’s a strange crux to face, but the folks at Avalanche software stared it down and delivered a very solid experience for the minors. Toy Story 3: The Video Game straddles the line between story-driven and purely experiential gameplay to offer the best of both worlds for kids who want a lot from their games.
We unbox Disney Interactive's take on Pixar's world
Video games haven’t really been the best friends to toys. Ever since they started filling in the gaps between a kid’s reality and imagination toys just haven’t seemed as much fun. Toy Story 3 looks to mend that strained relationship between pull-strings and pixels by offering a really unique gameplay mode that acts less like a video game and more like a playset. We got a hands-on preview with Disney Interactive’s summer tie-in game and were pleasantly impressed with what it had to offer.
Just how does one wrangle the essence of Tony Stark in to a video game?
Lots of people were excited for Iron Man, but few could predict just how phenomenal the film would be. Now, with the sequel being one of the most anticipated films of the past 5 years it’s only natural SEGA has returned to deliver another video game adaptation of the classic Marvel character.
Developer Mike McHale and Producer Dean Martinetti at SEGA invited us to listen in to a conference call that went over a lot of the game’s talking points and let us have some insight on how Iron Man 2 plans to be more than the expected movie-game cash-in.

Through logic, deduction and intelligence Miles Edgeworth always solves the crime
Capcom goes out of the courtroom and in to the fire with the latest incarnation of the cult classic Ace Attorney series. Eschewing the usual band of defendants this game takes a look in to the work life of renowned prosecutor (and former villain) Miles Edgeworth. Tossing aside the hunches and guesswork of Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth tackles the legal system with a cold case of logic and deduction.
Eat me. Drink me. Play me.
Down the rabbit hole we go as Tim Burton’s adaptation of Disney’s adaptation of Lewis Carol’s classic children’s book gets adapted in to a video game for the PC, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. Players are given the opportunity to roam the fantasy world in a non-linear fashion, because honestly would you expect anything straight forward from Wonderland?
Slated for a holiday release.
Despite having let the news out unintentionally early at the Game Developers Conference this year, many are still baffled at the recent announcement of Harmonix and Traveller’s Tale’s team-up to produce a Rock Band spin-off of the Lego franchise. The game will be releasing this holiday on Xbox 360, Wii, Playstation 3 and Nintendo DS. Lego Rock Band will be geared more toward “families, teens, and tweens”, with a lighter track list and stronger emphasis on the band creation elements incorporated with the Lego branding.
