Xbox 360 | Daily Rodent

Bless my Sainted trousers, a review!

While I’ve not resorted to going through the bins like some Rodent reprobates, my late adoption of the Xbox means I missed most of the classics the first time round and can now grab them up for mere pennies. I’d heard Saints Row was “bitchin’, yo” and four quid is too good to pass up, [...]

Going through the bins – Mirror’s Edge

In the future, both bins and bargains are outlawed and I am forced to jump across rooftops in search of empty thrills. I am utterly miserable, and Resident Evil 8 is going to require that I take out a loan against the miniscule coffin I laughably call a home. The streets are nice and [...]

Going through the bins – 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

You can find me in da club! By which I mean you can find me by the bins. 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand (Xbox 360) Nothing is more important to 50 Cent than money. Making money, either through his popularity in the “rap game” or by hustling, whatever that entails, is his prime goal in [...]

Borderlands (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)

The bright, cel-shaded dustbowls, loot-packed shacks and savage bandits of Borderlands might suggest a technicolour Fallout 3, but the reality of the game is something simultaneously much more like a traditional RPG and much more like a traditional FPS than Bethesda’s opus. Brilliantly it never falls between two stools, instead sitting on both stools comfortably [...]

The Inside Story On… Squid Yes, Not So Octopus (Xbox 360)

Out on Xbox Live Arcade this week is the fantastic arena-shooter Squid Yes, Not So Octupus: Squid Harder (SYNSO). You might have missed it, maybe instead you’re focused elsewhere today and keen to spunk a million English pounds on Modern Warfare 2? Frankly, you’d be right to do so BUT! Do also spare a measly 80 [...]

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising

Rodent forumite “gogol1000” shares his thoughts on Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising on that-there Xbox 360. First off, if you played and loved the first game on PC, then I have no hesitation in saying just buy it immediately. It feels like a more streamlined version of that game. I’m currently three missions in and [...]

Batman Arkham Asylum

It has been a while since we reviewed any games around these parts. So long in fact, we’re not sure we’ve still got it in us. We used to bash them out in our prime, but now we just sit around and talk about the days when we had time to play them. Sometimes we actually [...]

Confessions of a computer gamer

I’m 32 years old, and have been gaming since I could hold a joystick. Yet up until the start of this year, I’d never owned a games console. It was computers all the way for me: ZX Spectrum, Commodore Amiga, IBM 486, Pentium. I don’t mind admitting that as a member of the computing aristocracy [...]

The Secret of Monkey Island (Special Edition)

The Lucasarts classic, The Secret of Monkey Island, has recently been given the Special Edition treatment and released on Xbox Live Arcade. We’re giving the game the “tag-team” treatment: While Mogwins played through the original back on the Amiga some 19 years ago, MrsMogwins is new to the whole adventure game genre. Between them, they [...]
