APP OF THE DAY: Pitfall review (iPad / iPhone / iPod touch)
Ah, 30 years ago; men had moustaches you could hang a coat on, TV mainly consisted of young women in skimpy outfits chasing rotund middle-aged men, and the number one games console was fronted in teak paneling (effect, anyway). Those, as they say, were...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 review
Modern Warfare 3 is, in some ways, a bit like buying a Spice Girls album, in that, no matter how cool you think you are, it's impossible not to sing along. This is what Call of Duty is, gaming fun in its purest form. There is nothing complicated about...

Gaming 4 out of 5Call of Duty: Black Ops review
Let's not kid ourselves. If you were gung-ho enough to buy Call of Duty: Black Ops, you've already done it by now. You've already sprinted your way through the single-player campaign, had a quick run at the revamped Zombies mode, and you're probably only...

Gaming 3 out of 5James Bond 007: Blood Stone review
This is what you call a missed opportunity. A totally original Bond game, scripted by a Hollywood screenwriter, voiced by Daniel Craig and Judi Dench, starring a digitised Joss Stone and developed by the team behind The Club and Project Gotham Racing,...

Gaming 3.5 out of 5Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions review
It's been a long time since anyone has got too excited about a Spider-Man game. For too long, the Web slinger has been ploughing the same old open-world, crime-fighting furrow, each version sinking a little further into the soil of mediocrity, and though...

Gaming 4 out of 5Blur - PS3 review
Can Bizarre Creations win this summer's racing crown with Blur? A real mashup of a racer, inspired by Project Gotham and power-up-friendly titles such as Mario Kart (we'd also be very surpprised if some of the developers hadn't played a fair amount of...

Gaming 0 out of 5First Look: GoldenEye 007 - Nintendo Wii review
I'm sure I'm not the only one to have met the announcement of GoldenEye 007 at Nintendo's E3 conference with a mixture of fanboy enthusiasm, scepticism and confusion. On the one hand, it's a new version of the game that - before Halo - proved that first-person...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Guitar Hero 5 - Nintendo Wii review
It may come as some surprise to hear that the Guitar Hero series has averaged about four core-platform games per year since the birth of the franchise in 2005, far more if you include portable versions and spin-offs, and in this time the only major change...

Gaming 0 out of 5Guitar Hero 5 - First Look review
Having skipped "4" in favour of "World Tour", Guitar Hero's back to its numerical counting system with the forthcoming release of Guitar Hero 5, due on 18 September. However, given that the franchise has five titles due out in 2009, is there such a thing...
