You play both – Ratchet’s sections are more action focused, while Clank’s are based around puzzles – unlocking new abilities and weapons (the best of which is Clank’s holographic clone) as you...]]>http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/18/games-week--ratchet---clank.htmWed, 18 Nov 2009 16:22:56 +0000http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/18/games-week--ratchet---clank.htm
Time: 2.37pm, Tuesday. Location: Tokyo, Japan. We're currently summoning a giant fist out of a portal to fight angels using our magic hair. It's all onscreen of course - in Bayonetta, currently Japan's No1 game.

The Sega offices are located in a surprisingly grey part of the mostly neon-lit Tokyo, but the area must hold some appeal: their old premises, still bearing the...]]>http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/18/zoo-plays-yakuza-3.htmWed, 18 Nov 2009 12:58:19 +0000http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/18/zoo-plays-yakuza-3.htm
We're in Japan to check out Sega's games roster for next year, which includes the kick-ass Aliens vs...]]>http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/16/zoo-hits-japan.htmMon, 16 Nov 2009 16:27:48 +0000http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/16/zoo-hits-japan.htmhttp://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/12/cod-modern-warfare-2--rated-by-sas.htmThu, 12 Nov 2009 16:17:19 +0000http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/12/cod-modern-warfare-2--rated-by-sas.htm (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS)
Guitar Hero for kids. Which actually isn’t a bad thing if you struggled through the Tool or Children Of Bodom sections of recent games in the series and never went back to them. There are some great tracks (No Doubt’s Don’t Speak and Hang Me Up To Dry by Cold War Kids, for example), but also some crap, too (want to play Wannabe by the Spice Girls?)...]]>http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/11/games-week--band-hero.htmWed, 11 Nov 2009 12:45:49 +0000http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/11/games-week--band-hero.htm
But James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game (to give it its wordy full title for one time only) is different.

Using the same stereoscopic technology as the movie (and films like Beowulf) it produces real 3D graphics but without the purple...]]>http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/11/3d-gaming-arrives-and-we-ve-played-it.htmWed, 11 Nov 2009 11:59:06 +0000http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/11/3d-gaming-arrives-and-we-ve-played-it.htm (Xbox 360) The one when GTA rediscovered its sense of fun. Epic and enthralling as GTA IV was, we missed the ability to jack a helicopter then parachute out seconds before it crashed into a building, like in San Andreas. But it’s finally back in these new missions that bring the saga of Liberty City to a close. At least until GTA V rears its...]]>http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/06/games-week-gta--the-ballad-of-gay-tony.htmFri, 06 Nov 2009 14:58:52 +0000http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/11/06/games-week-gta--the-ballad-of-gay-tony.htm
And it’s a fair test: Watt’s a big Pro Evo fan and Gibbs has played FIFA – and nothing else – for three years.

Assassin's Creed sold over 8m copies and the sequel, which relocates the action from the Holy Land to Renaissance-era Italy, looks all kinds of awesome. So it's hardly a shock it's being made into a movie.

What is surprising is that even though this is probably the first you've heard of it, you can watch the first one right now.

The motion-captured trilogy...]]>http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/10/28/assassin-s-creed--the-secret-movies.htmWed, 28 Oct 2009 14:45:16 +0000http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/10/28/assassin-s-creed--the-secret-movies.htmhttp://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/10/27/dj-hero-masterclass.htmTue, 27 Oct 2009 17:23:27 +0000http://www.zootoday.com/thelist/archive/2009/10/27/dj-hero-masterclass.htm
