Review de Blob 2 (PlayStation 3)
Pass with flying colours?
The first de Blob on Wii was a critical success and didn’t sell too badly either, shifting around a million copies for publisher THQ and proving Wii platformers didn’t need to feature a famous mascot to be successful.

Review Test Drive Unlimited 2 (PlayStation 3)
While Gran Turismo strives to recreate the perfect car model, Test Drive Unlimited 2 is all about imitating fantasy racing culture
