Games Toaster

REVIEW: The Incredible Hulk

Developer: Edge of Reality | Publisher: SEGA | Format: PS3

Reviewer: Craig Jay Gallagher: Turning a  summer blockbuster into a half decent game is a monster task for any developer. The general rule is that the finished product is usually a sub par experience with poor gameplay and a looming sense of regret when you realise that you just lost upwards of 6o euro. There is the odd stellar title that manages to sneak though, such as the superb Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay which remains this reviewers favourite FPS of all time. The latest cash in is The Incredible Hulk and while it fails to reach Riddick heights of quality it remains quite a decent title which is a lot of fun.

REVIEW: Viking Battle for Asgard

Developer: Creative Assembly | Publisher: SEGA | Format: PS3

Reviewer: Craig Jay Gallagher Vikings are cool. No one can argue otherwise, be they raping, maiming  and plundering or drinking themselves silly Vikings have always held a soft spot in the hearts of us all. These were men who set out into the unknown conquering new lands and fighting valiantly to the last man. Throw in the stories of Asgard and their Gods and it's hard to believe that there are so few games based on the Viking mythology. Viking: Battle for Asgard goes so way redeeming this.

Celebrate Bungie Day

Today is seems is Bungie Day, which for all intents and purposes seems to be a holiday made up by Bungie, those nice people who gave us Halo and it's impressive sequels. To celebrate this rather important of days we have been given a brand new multiplayer map.

The map is a remake of classic Halo 1 favourite Chill Out which is ideally suited to one on one matches. The map can be downloaded from Xbox live for free. Also of note is that the Halo 3 Legendary map pack is now only 600 MS points which is around 7 euro.
