There are very few games which make me rethink my entertainment set-up. Usually a 24-inch telly does the job, but Child Of Eden seems to have been designed to tempt me with TV's that reach across the entirety of my feature wall and surround sound sys...
Addictive gameplay, Beautiful worlds, Great ease of use with Kinect...

awesome. In my minds eye, it would be a wonderfully imme...

Child of Eden is not only one of the best Kinect games available but it's also a worthy successor to Rez (PlayStation 2) that flawlessly combines cordless controls with a visually stunning and addictive game. With a beautiful cinematic opening, Child o...

Originally designed by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the creator of Rez, Child of Eden has a similar concept to that 2001 game updated for a 2011 audience who of course have access to Kinect. Since launch we have been delving into Eden in both standard and Kinect...

Child of Eden There was a moment midway through Q Entertainment’s Child of Eden when I was pretty much convinced that laser beams were really shooting out of my hands. My right arm was extended with my palm – the place from which I imagined energy was...

Rez was an awesome game. And not in a tired, "dude, so awesome" way, but in the sense that it was actually kind of impressive. At its core, it was nothing but a variation on Panzer Dragoon, but its marriage of abstract-yet-computer-influenced visuals a...
The follow-up to Rez is perhaps over-familiar, but offers amazing visual patterns and landscapes with a euphoric soundtrack, while the Kinect control works better than expected...

Defining Child of Eden, the spiritual successor of GamesRadar favorite Rez by the same creator, is challenging. Sure, calling it a single-player on-rails music-based shooter is sufficient, but that hardly conveys the actual experience behind the game...

Welcome to Tetsuya Mizuguchi's Child of Eden. On the box it's called a multi-sensory experience. But that wooden, chosen-by-committee phrase doesn't come close to capturing the throbbing, pulsating, hallucinogenic spirit that lies within.Child of Eden bui...

Xbox 360 ReviewWhen I play Child of Eden, I find myself asking questions: When is this level going to end? What should I have for supper? If I say something mean and unprovoked to my wife, will we have a small-scale war of words for the next five minut...

Rez was a great title, as well—-no doubt about it. Of course, it also introduced a level of musical interactivity quite unlike any other game. This innovation, in conjunction with a highly stylized visual landscape, forms the framework of Rez’s succe...

I think it's fair to say that more than a few people bought the Kinect in anticipation of Child of Eden, which is finally here after its E3 unveiling a couple years back. For those of you that have been looking forward to its release since then, I'll t...

The first time I saw Child of Eden was at the 2010 Ubisoft press event at E3. This was before the Kinect had shipped or even before I had a chance to play Kinect later that week at the show, so the whole game looked a bit “weird”. The game slipped off...

Conceptually, I am a fan of . I like the game enough that I included it in my piece a few months back, and I like the game enough that I began paying a distinct amount of attention to project lead Tetsuya Mizuguchi, following his later work on and...
Child of Eden is the sort of gaming experience that is going to be divisive, simply because it’s more an artistic expression piece attached to a shooter than a fully realized game, and as such, the journey is more important than the destination. The g...

Tetsuya Mizuguchi's Rez is a cult classic, but was never a hit with a mass audience or at retail. That a follow-up was even greenlit by publisher Ubisoft, nearly ten years after the release of the original, is something of a mystery.Well, fans wanted...

There's something about Child of Eden that makes people shut up and fixate on the screen. It could be because you're entranced by the colors bursting artfully in tandem with upbeat techno music or just the thought of, "Holy crap, am I tripping right no...
It's rare for me to play a game and feel nothing but happiness, but that's what happened when I stepped in to save Eden. In a way, Child of Eden touched my soul. Yes, that sounds cheesy, but it's true. There's one downside -- even though it costs 50 bu...
