Street Fighter IV

Street Fighter IV

With such a fine heritage its no surprise the next entrant in the Street Fighter series has garnered such attention, and for those lucky enough to have played it, praise. A back to basics approach, Street Fighter IV is ditching the parry combat system introduced in Street Fighter III: Third Strike and returning to its roots. A good thing indeed.

Left 4 Dead

Review: Left 4 Dead (360)

Set two weeks after the outbreak of an unspecified infection, Left 4 Dead drops you straight into the middle of what can only be described as a zombie apocalypse. Cast as one of a group of 4 survivors, the task ahead of you is a relatively simple one: reach an extraction point in order to radio in a rescue. However, the small matter of a few thousand zombies stand between you and your goal.

Preview: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (360)

Overall F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin is shaping up to be the first memorable game of 2009.

Preview: Killzone 2 (PS3)

It’s looking like 2009 could finally be the year PS3 makes up lost ground.

Gamestyle Awards 2008

It may be more of the same, but why differ from an already winning formula?


Living At Home

In the time we’ve spent in the world we can’t help but feel disappointed.

Review: Dash Of Destruction (360)

The premise is very simple and straightforward.

Review: Biology Battle (360)

If they can break free of the influence of other, more popular titles, then they could produce something special.

Review: Biology Battle (360)

If they can break free of the influence of other, more popular titles, then they could produce something special.

Review: Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)

Explaining the gameplay of Valkyria Chronicles is going to be quite tough, but we’ll try our best.

Review: Banjo-Kazooie (360)

The collecting is now made easier with an auto save that saves after each item is collected.


Review: Prince Of Persia (360)

A prince, but not quite a king.

Review: Littlest Pet Shop Winter (NDS)

All in all, this is a very rudimentary children's title.

Review: Hasbro Family Game Night (Wii)

Hasbro Family Game Night is a solid performer in the party genre.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

Preview: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (360)

The original F.E.A.R. managed to terrorise Gamestyle, leaving a lasting impression with its fearsome atmosphere and sense of the unknown. For a first person shooter it was a unique experience and one that confirmed there was more to the genre than gung-ho action. Now an overdue return to Auburn and therefore Alma is on the cards.

It’s looking like 2009 could finally be the year PS3 makes up lost ground.

Preview: Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe (360)

While this is a question we can’t quite remember on the playground, it’s certainly an interesting prospect.

Preview: Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)

Potentially however it could be just as good as any AAA title in 2008.


Preview: Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard (360)

Of course having a good, unique premise and a decent gameplay experience are two different things, but so far everything is looking quite promising indeed.

Preview: Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (PS3)

Once again eye candy is very much to the forefront, featuring expansive areas and a pleasing amount of detail.

Preview: Resistance 2 (PS3)

Insomniac seem to be pushing themselves to the limit in only their second stab at the FPS genre.

Living At Home

Living At Home

Ever since Home's first unveiling its been a rocky road for Sony's major online service. Perceived by many to be the console version of Second Life, which is not a flattering compliment, it got people wondering what exactly is the point of it all. Touted as a meeting place where gamers can gather it makes us wonder how many people want to meet and greet others outside of their social circle? And with the New Xbox Experience making a splash can Sony really trump what Microsoft have just accomplished?

Gamestyle Remembers: Zelda: Ocarina of Time

As far as Zelda games go, Ocarina of Time has yet to be overtaken.

Silver Screen: Mortal Kombat

Unlike the previously released Super Mario Bros, Mortal Kombat doesn’t stray too far from the ‘plot’ of the game.

Silver Screen: BloodRayne 2: Deliverance

Deliverance differs from the previous BloodRayne film as it lacks any notable name actors.


Silver Screen: Dead Space: Downfall

If you’re desperate to get the full story of what happens in Dead Space then you may get some enjoyment here.

Crimes Against Level Design

What we have here is a list of those levels that sullied an otherwise wonderful experience.
