Games Reviews - The Tidbits Issue

By Keith Warren, Fruity Mcginty, Syrup Davies


Shadow The Hedgehog Sega PS2, Xbox Genre: Platform The doctor told me to stop playing computer games in 1999 because he said a lot of the games brought on my epilepsy and I’d just blackout if the graphics got too freaky. I could always tell if I was going to have a fit, it’s like a sixth sense, so I’d always turn the computer off in case my parents came in and caught me playing. This is the first game I’ve played in six years and it felt just like old times, only faster and brighter. I feel okay too. KEITH WARREN	Brothers In Arms: Earned In Blood Ubisoft PS2, Xbox Genre: War The Germans get slyer and slyer with each new improved edition of this game and harder to kill. So much so that I spent around eight hours straight chasing two Nazis on motorbikes through the ruins of some minor Belgian town. It was super-realistic and by the end I was knackered, zoned out. I know that sounds like some terrible homoerotic fantasy but it really happened. FRUITY MCGINTY	Peter Jackson’s King Kong Ubisoft PS2, Xbox Genre: Monkey business Who would win in a fight between King Kong and T-Rex? My money’s on the giant gorilla. Have you seen the dinosaur’s arms? Puny girl arms that are totally out of proportion to the rest of his body. I mean, palaeontologists don’t even have any real proof that this guy even ate meat, let alone liked to kill his prey. Let’s hope Peter Jackson’s King Kong is better than that Godzilla piece of shit anyway. SYRUP DAVIES
