Inversion. Oh, Inversion. Gears of War, Army of Two, Killzone 2's robots, Dead Space's zero-gravity stages, PSI-Ops, techno-babble and neopunk envy (but not as cool as it may sound) all baked up and t... Read More
Whilst I have no problem listening to/watching/reading various guilty pleasures (as can be seen by the alarmingly large quantity of Nick Hornby novels on my bookshelf), gaming is a very different beas... Read More
Confrontation, developed by Cyanide Studios, is quite a conflicting game because on one hand it's so simple and does nothing new to innovate in the RPG/RTS genre, but also takes a lot of steps back... Read More
The Warriors Orochi franchise has been (for me at least) about crosses. It's been a cross between fantasy and history, between several franchises, between the RPG genre and the action genre. And Warri... Read More
After Hours Athletes collects three titles previously made available on the Playstation 3; Top Darts, High Velocity Bowling and Hustle Kings. Each game focuses on a particular bar game although not ma... Read More
Let’s just get this out of the way first. I am not a fan of motion-controlled games. There I said it. Don’t get me wrong I love my Mario Galaxies, Mario Karts and Skyward Swords but they are some ... Read More
To be very honest, there's not much to write about Fibble. There have been a fair share of short reviews in my time, but never have I been at a loss of words like this before. I mean, I have fallen sh... Read More
Minecraft was somewhat of a revelation last year- an indie game that became a sensation even before it had ever released, a game with so enduring a concept that it took millions upon millions by storm... Read More
The Fable franchise has been deteriorating greatly for a long time now. After Fable II (and some might say even before that), the series started going downhill. Fable III was a sore disappointment aft... Read More
Kinect games can be sometimes such a nightmare to play, mainly due to the fact that the implementation can pretty much broken or be on completely on-rails requiring you to do minimal movements. In Lon... Read More
Remember Jeremy McGrath’s Supercross franchise that spanned two games over consoles from the Nintendo 64 to the Playstation 2? No, me neither. Either way the world famous supercross star McGrath is ... Read More
Tony hasn't aged well in recent years. Not even slightly, with Tony Hawk's Ride and Shred effectively destroying the franchise as we knew it. Having finally accepted that the modern THPS games were re... Read More
Lego games have a formula that works. Take on an existing popular property, give it a Lego twist, wrap it up in oodles of charm, back it up with some solid if predictable gameplay mechanics, and the... Read More
Rainbow Moon is a pretty nifty old-school game which uses turn based mechanics, and believe it or not has quite a bit of content for what is an arcade game. I was initially surprised at how polished e... Read More
Tell me about the Rabbids, George. In Rabbids: Alive & Kicking - not to be confused with the 90s children's programme presented by Zoe Ball and Jamie Theakston - you're essentially the embodime... Read More
I sometimes find myself watching a film or TV show and wondering to myself, wouldn't this make a better book? I in fact have this frustrating habit with most forms of media, constantly questioning whe... Read More
With The Amazing Spider-Man, Activision and developer Beenox have done a solid job of bringing Spidey to the small screen, his latest outing arguably one of his best for many years. Plotwise it picks ... Read More
Here again, for the third time in less than a year, I am faced with a rather unique conundrum: that of reviewing a pinball game. A bad pinball game is still easy to review, noting as I can all the s... Read More
This generation has seen multiple genuinely great, quirky games being developed for and published via Xbox Live and Playstation Network, the digital delivery networks for both those platforms. The exi... Read More
