The Splatters is a physics based puzzler game with some fantastic puzzles that involves you controlling a blob of goo with a smiley face and send it into various bombs on the screen.  A simple idea, much like Angry birds, and addictive and fun as hell!

Retro Gamer Tim looks at the Blaze Handheld, a handy device for any gamer on the go.

It is not often that a game comes along and satisfies a craving that you did not know you had. Enter small start up Polytron Corporation. Any game that can create such a sensation and then satisfy it by its on existence is special.

If you’re a football fan, forget reading any further, go and buy FIFA Street it’s not going to let you down. For me, I’ve always been a supporter of the FIFA series buying almost every edition from FIFA 91 to the present. With every new version of FIFA its always about the new engine or the new moves and more sophistication with each iteration of the title.

Tim looks at one of the all time greats on the Super Nintendo, Super Starwars a classic in everyway. It's one of my all time fav's on the system.

Now cast your gaze forward a few months and imagine that this unholy union somehow resulted in an offspring. The resultant progeny would probably yield an RPG title bearing a great deal of resemblance to 38 Studios and Big Huge Games' brand new original IP, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. So how does it compare to its inspirations? There's only one way to find out!

Alan Wake's American Nightmare is not a sequel to the highly acclaimed Alan Wake which released near 2 years ago on the Xbox 360. Rather, American Nightmare is a spin off to the original game in which Alan Wake finds himself trapped inside a script he wrote for the Night Springs TV show.In a desert town this time around, as opposed to the forest setting of the original game Alan must rewrite reality in order to survive.

"Long live the 3D fighter!" I hear you chant, and with Namco Bandai's latest addition to the Soul Calibur franchise, it appears that it's here to stay...

For the uninitiated, "Soul" began way back in 1996 on the humble Playstation 1, under the moniker of "Soul Blade" or "Soul Edge" (depending on region.) It recieved critical acclaim, as it was one of the only Weapons based fighters of that era.
