REVIEW RUSH: STAGE 3


Def Jam Icon (**1/2) With its head in the clouds and it’s heart in the right place, this game could have been a Shenmue-killer, instead it’s just playing Barbie for boys.


Big Bang Mini (****) There’s bullet-hell, then there is this; a bullet- party, with cake and ice cream.


New Super Mario Bros. Wii (*) A shameless cash-in with total disregard for its pedigree. Feels like it was made by frightened interns.


Battle Fantasia (****) Its heart is bigger than it’s character select-screen and combo-meter.


Mirror’s Edge (**1/2) Tragically overwrought and second-guessed when it should have just been about running and jumping.


50 Cent: Blood on The Sand (**) Has the vigor and intent of a celebrity porno tape.


Loco Roco 2 (****) So sweet it should come with a toothbrush.


The Beatles: Rock Band (***) Amazing by default, but in the end, it’s a cover not as good as the original.


Photo Dojo (**1/2) This little stocking-stuffer is the coolest game ever, for about 45 seconds. Then it’s just neat.


Bayonetta (****) “A Japanese aircraft loaded with explosives and making a deliberate suicidal crash on an enemy target.”


VVVVVV (****) Kinda makes you wonder why games weren’t this good 25 years ago.


Rhythm Tengoku (****) A rhythm game with no white people involved.
