Heavy Rain is an admirably ambitious creation capable of engrossing the mind and engaging the emotions like few games that have gone before. Visually and aurally it’s a decadent feast for the senses, but its frequent descents into ham-fisted schlock and downright broken storytelling ultimately make it a clumsy case of style over substance. It’s a likeable mess if you don’t think too hard, but nevertheless, a mess it remains.

Using the PlayStation Eye camera, EyePet interacts with users in their own living rooms. It’s a little too creepily real, and also it isn’t much of a game, but it is a nice distraction.

If you’ve got serious time on your hands or are velvety-tongued enough to convince three other douches to get involved online, then this repetitive port of a PSP game might at times be classed as so-bad-it’s-good. And we guess that’s a start, if nothing else.

God of War is a mighty tough act to emulate and Inferno clearly isn’t in the same league, but though this copycat is flawed it’s a guilty pleasure for those who can’t wait for the real thing.

In spite of lifting nearly every gameplay element from other, often better games, Darksiders still succeeds at bringing these disparate threads together into a brutally satisfying whole. It’s also a blast to explore even at its low points, and if the idea of a Zelda with a more “mature” bent and better combat catches your interest, you’ll want to check this out.

With characters you actually care about, a fantastic story to lose yourself in and a vast and unfathomable galaxy to explore, filled with secrets and mystery, there’s no reason you shouldn’t play A Crack in Time. But if you never liked the series before, this won’t change your mind – despite the structural changes, it’s still a Ratchet & Clank game at heart.

There’s nothing offensively bad about Dark Void; it’s just exceptionally mediocre. We blasted through the whole six-ish-hour campaign and now we struggle to remember any of it. It’s like those hours just mysteriously vanished. Eerie.

pThe Star Wars saga takes a dark turn in this third-person actioner, which takes place between the trilogies and casts you as Darth Vader’s secret apprentice.

It shows reluctance to move with the times, but it still offers a massive amount of characters and combos to master, and will surely keep hardcore fighting fans busy for a long time./p
