PDC World Championship Darts 2008 Competition

Feature: PDC World Championship Darts 2008 Competition (360)


Its competition time at Gamestyle and we've teamed up with the guys behind PDC World Championship Darts 2008! Three lucky readers could walk away with an Xbox 360 edition of the game.

In recent times darts has moved away from its stuffy pub image and enjoyed a revival, thanks to the medium of television. The development team has tried to capture the drama and excitement of the tournament by ensuring the authenticity of the video game tie-in. PDC World Championship Darts features the big names of the sport including John Part, Phil Taylor, Colin Lloyd, Peter Manley and Wayne Mardle, each replicated onscreen with precision.  The presentation is just how you'd expect it to see if Sky Sports and its commentary team was covering the event in your own living room, except this time the pressure is on you!

Several game modes are available allowing players of all abilities to enjoy a quick match, a long and perhaps successful career or just a friendly match with up four players in total. Oxygen has also created what promises to be a unique and intuitive control system, for the sport where precision is everything. Fans of darts are well catered for with the option to play one of several different rule sets, which span a wide variety of scenarios including Cricket, Twenty-One, Killer, Knockout and Around the Clock.

To be in with a chance of winning a copy of the game for the PAL Xbox 360 system, just answer the following question:

iPhone Games Round-up: Part 2

Rolando is one of the bigger iPhone games released.

Review: Rock Band Unplugged (PSP)

This is perhaps one of the more complete music games for the platform.

Preview: Demon's Souls (PS3)

The twist comes via the online functionality.


Review: inFamous (PS3)

Undoubtedly a good game, Infamous can be a very frustrating experience at times.

Preview: The Conduit (Wii)

The Conduit has the potential to exceed expectations.

Review: Virtua Tennis 2009 (PS3)

As it stands, however, the World Tour becomes a bit of a chore.
