New Super Mario Bros. Wii Review

New Super Mario Bros. Wii Review

For those twenty-somethings and older, we most probably remember playing a game of Super Mario Bros. on the ol’ NES, and remembering that it was simply awesome. Basic, but awesome. Nintendo had finally brought true family gaming to the living room. All over the world, badly dressed 80s gamers were getting to grips with a character that was going to be stuck in the forefront of Nintendo’s...

Dragon Age : origins PC review

Story So it is another Bioware game, if you have played their other games it’s pretty easy to guess what’s going to happen here. You are a main character, you start of insignificant then you have greatness thrust upon you (The Spiderman phenomenon) and you have to defeat a supreme evil. This time it is all thanks to a bunch of crazy monks making deals with demons. The main aspect of the...

Official PS3 headset work on Windows 7

Hey all, I’ve been bored over christmas so i decided to see if my PS3 Bluetooth Headset would work with my very elegant wireless/bluetooth board (ripped from a 6 year old Medion PC) and WIndows 7. So i managed to pair the headset with windows 7 (amazing considering the age of the card) but then ran into trouble when looking for a driver. Then i spent about 2 hours trawling through forum...

Wii Sports Resort – Reviewed

Hey all, it’s been a while since I’ve submitted Wuup content, but here I am. Back in business and ready to drag another game title through Jigsaw’s house to see what comes out the other side. So, after a year’s absence, and two Wiis later, I’ve got myself a copy of Wii Sports Resort. What could be considered the true sequel to the flagship (well, freebie) Wii Sports included in the...

Batman Arkham Asylum review (PS3)

So here we are another super hero game release. Will it follow the generic path of previous games based on them? Will it be like the jaw dropping poor Superman 64? Well thankfully it is not so, it has been quite a pleasant surprise to find this game is actually good. The game begins like this, you are batman, there is joker, madness ensues and you have to save the day. All set in the lovely...

Just as I saw this, my internet connection went up in smoke (thanks Virgin Media – Virgin...

Mirrors Edge Review (PS3)

At Wuup we are always a few months behind, not having the huge budget or time, to review games as they are released. We usually have to wait till we can borrow, find cheap, rent or steal each game to review. Recently i’ve managed to get a hold of Mirrors Edge by Dice (Battlefield 2) for the PS3 and i thought i’d share my thoughts with you. Mirrors Edge is a game about free running, a...

Why Does Left 4 Dead Servers Suck / Lag?

I’ll tell you why! Just to personally annoy me, nevermind everyone else – me! It’s so annoying. Valve, steam, whoever, really neeed to sort it out. The ‘Dead Air’ Campaign is the worst I’ve noticed, try and get an expert server match for that, half the time it throws me into a PVP server, so I have to return to lobby, and search again.  Then I’ll get 2...

PC Games Industry in Decline?

Just a little random thought I’ve had recently, just as I was remembering about how PC games use to be in big cardboard boxes, 10 times the size of its contents, and of course always in front of you as you went inside the shop door… …Now not so much, I walk into ‘Game Station’ and struggle to find the 2 small shelving units of PC games, with not even a hint of any...
