Iron Man (PC)
|
|
One of this year's biggest movies is set to be Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. and of course with a blockbuster this size comes the obligatory game tie in. Unfortunately while the film is entertaining and fun, the game ends up a mish-mash of instantly forgettable proportions.

|
The World Ends With You is Square Enix's latest release on the Nintendo DS, however instead of crafting a fantasy world environment the game is refreshingly set in Tokyo's real life Shibuya district.
Shibuya is a confusing place and you are instantly assailed with noise and incoming cellphone texts, the environment immediately put me in mind of Sega's Jet Set Radio, both on a visual and aural level (which is not a bad thing).
