Arkham
Asylum is a third person action game that thoroughly immerses you in the
twisted and dark world that Batman protects. You are placed in the cape,
cowl and utility belt of the Dark Knight himself, and forced to face the
asylum’s violent and psychopathic inmates. Everyone
knows that most comic book and films that are made into games are…well,
crap. You could assume that Batman: Arkham Asylum, being a mix between
the darker comics and the new films, would be the worst of the worst.
But you would be wrong. Very wrong... CANDY RATING

Fighting
games are back in the limelight and SNK are back with King of Fighters
XII, with a complete overhaul of the series, taking it in a completely
new direction. Unlike Street Fighter 4, KOF12 uses a three-on-three dynamic
that sets it apart from the competition. The game play, combat system
and characters, have had a complete overhaul. It takes a bit of getting
used to if you’re an old fan like me, but it’s just what SNK
needed to compete with the competition in the era of wide screen HD TV’s.
CANDY RATING 6/10 |

MUSIC
REVIEWS // Melanie Fiona // Nneka |
|
|
|
|
|
Melanie Fiona’s much anticipated debut album,
The Bridge, indicates a turnaround in R&B.
The
Canadian R&B singer/songwriter opened up for Kanye West on the European
leg of his 2008 tour and has steadily been creating a buzz ever since.
The
first single release from The Bridge, “Give It to Me Right”,
has become a regular on radio DJ’s play lists and sets the high
standard for the rest of the album. While “Give It to Me Right”
is more of a classic R&B tune with some added soul, the rest of the
album is a surprise if you expect The Bridge to be just another R&B
album.
The
Bridge is an album you could play to anyone; the eclectic mix of genres
and styles ensures that this album stands tall in one of R&B’s
most difficult periods. |

Nneka
is a rising star from Nigeria. Mixing reggae, hip-hop and soul she has
been compared to Lauryn Hill. There are some similarities, but with her
politically conscious mind that is entrenched in her roots as a Nigerian,
you get a totally different look and sound. Her performance at Cargo on
the 23rd July was absolutely off the hook; energy, crowd banter and that
X factor, she is one to definitely look out for. Her album No Longer at
Ease (2009) is definitely one for the I-pod. |
