WipEout 2048
I’m writing this review as I wait for my next race in WipEout 2048 to load. Alright, so I’m exaggerating a slight gripe with the game, but truthfully, that’s one of the very few that I have, so don’t let that line taint your opinion of Studio Liverpool’s latest title. WipEout has long been the [...]
ModNation Racers: Road Trip
Not every review of a Vita game can be game gold, unfortunately, and this is one such example. ModNation Racers: Road Trip is in fact a fun game, but there are some potentially game-killing pitfalls. Be aware that this review will be ripe with comparisons to the gem that is WipEout 2048, also for the [...]
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Uncharted: Golden Abyss is a PlayStation Vita title we peeped back at E3 2011 when the console was given its real introduction to the public (i.e. not shown behind a sealed glass case). So is it the launch title everyone has been waiting for? Is this the way to do a portable Uncharted game or [...]
PlayStation Vita
I love reviewing new hardware. Especially major launches that we’ve had lately: Kinect, PlayStation Move, as well as the latest big one: Nintendo 3DS. Well, the PlayStation Vita launched officially this week, not including the First Edition Bundles that launched (and sold out across the country) last week, and I’m here to put it through [...]
Pritect Sensor Cover for Kinect
This is kind of a new thing for Eggplante: gadget reviews. But we like getting our hands on as much tech as we can, so it does actually fit right in with what we do. So I present to you our inaugural tech review: the Pritect Sensor Cover for Kinect. Okay, okay, that actually sounds [...]
Resident Evil: Revelations
Resident Evil has always been a series that has scared the crap out of me. Now, I’m not one for scary games in general so don’t get me talking about games like Condemned or Manhunt, and apparently even portable titles can muster up enough creativity to scare the crap out of me. Resident Evil: Revelations [...]
Twisted Metal
The Twisted Metal series never really hooked me. Of course, I’ve played a couple of the games, but was never one of those die-hard fans that Twisted Metal managed to gain quite a few of. In a lot of places, this game has an almost cult-like following, if only because there hasn’t been a Twisted [...]
Gran Turismo 5 XL
Competition is a wonderful thing. Companies may hate it, but for the consumer, competition means choice. And what’s a better example of choice than Gran Turismo 5 XL Edition? It’s got over 1000 cars, more than twenty tracks (not to mention the ability to create your own), and what is a pretty obvious requisite nowadays: [...]
Fortune Street
I’m a business man, or at least, I’d like to think of myself as an entrepreneur of sorts. I watch Dragon’s Den, I dabble in the stock market, and I, well, let’s be honest, I play video games. So when I heard of Fortune Street, a Monopoly-cross-Nintendo situation, I was pretty excited. After playing the [...]
Mario Kart 7
The Mario Kart formula is tried and true. Unfortunately, in the case of Mario Kart 7, that means that it is also getting a bit stale. If you thought Eggplante was somehow biased towards Nintendo, this is the article that’ll throw you in the other direction. Let’s start with what Nintendo gets right: this is [...]
