Orbital Media was ready to hit the world with a barrage of top-tier titles on the Game Boy Advance after the release of Racing Gears Advance.

Now both are back on track, with Juka looking as strong as ever. But what about Scurge: Hive?

...and find out we did. The conclusion? Scurge: Hive has not only lost none of its original appeal, but has in fact far exceeded even our early impressions and holds up perfectly well on both the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance. Okay, first things first You all know Samus Aran of Metroid fame, right? Well, the protagonist of Scurge is also a bounty hunter like her
But running around and blasting away with your pulse gun (which can be upgraded as the game goes on, such as an energy shot that fries electrical enemies, but boosts others
After all, the graphics in both versions are full of verve and swagger, with swarms of characters bombarding Jenosa on a regular basis without a hint of slowdown, as well as bright, vivacious colours spread all around, mixing in well with the dull, metallic nature of the lab itself and smooth animation for all characters and enemies involved.

Orbital is definitely one to watch!

Eh... Originally I was pretty interested in this game, but now that games like Yoshi's Island 2, Starfox and Pokemon are vying for people's money it seems pretty damn pointless to even try to release a DS game if it doesn't have a Nintendo logo on it...Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society
