Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Review

Dance Central 2 Review

Dance Central 2 Review

Voice controls can be a great thing that this game, Dance Central 2 taught me. I was slightly impressed by the conservative implementation in Forza 4, where you could access to a bunch of different m... Read More

Battlefield 3 Review

Battlefield 3 Review

I played the Battlefield 3 beta a lot on the PS3 and I felt it was a mixed bag; you could say I wasn't that impressed, actually, as evident by my impressions, which you can read here. The game on th... Read More

Trackmania 2: Canyon Review

Trackmania 2: Canyon Review

To this day I can't quite understand why Trackmania isn't a huge gaming sensation. It's addictive, accessible and deeply customisable, to the point where every gamer should be privy to its unique char... Read More

Payday: The Heist Review

Payday: The Heist Review

Payday: The Heist from Sony Online Entertainment is one of the fun games I have played this year, mainly due to the fact that it gives me a weird pleasure robbing banks and killing cops. Well not re... Read More

Nuclear Dawn Review

Nuclear Dawn Review

Nuclear Dawn is a breath of fresh air for the genre. I was very impressed when I played a few games, as it really showed glimpses of brilliance. There are a few faults and some niggling issues here ... Read More

NBA 2K12 Review

NBA 2K12 Review

I have never been a big fan of the NBA 2K series, neither of basketball sport itself, so obviously, when I went in to play NBA 2K12, I wasn't expecting a lot. At first, when I booted up my f... Read More

Okabu Review

Okabu Review

Okabu is a good game, at least, that’s what I thought when fiddling in the menu area. The music, which is fantastic, seemed to indicate high production values and more so due to the fact that the ... Read More

Dead Rising 2: Off The Record Review

Dead Rising 2: Off The Record Review

When Dead Rising 2 was released last year there were two glaring omissions that were bemoaned by fans: the original protagonist Frank West was nowhere to be seen and a sandbox mode was also missing. T... Read More

Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Review

Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Review

The PS minis range has been distracting us with its little addictive slices of gaming since its inception in 2009. Without any real depth to the games though, the service has failed to garner any real... Read More

The Gunstringer Review

The Gunstringer Review

The Gunstringer is Kinect’s best game. The best of the best! It has to mean a lot since it’s been one year since Kinect came out. I haven’t been engrossed in such a motion controller game for a... Read More

Role in the Hole Review

Role in the Hole Review

Role in the Hole HD is a pretty fun game. That’s what you expect because it’s sort of like Angry Birds but more awesome. It will remind you of that definitely, but the core gameplay is completel... Read More

King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame Review

King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame Review

Step back in time with King Arthur and you'll find an enjoyable, if rough, ride through the dark ages. King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame appears very much as a spin-off from the Total War series;... Read More

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair Review

How things can change in a few short months. Back in August 2010 I wrote up a review right here on Gamingbolt critiquing the then recent release of Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. Fourteen months lat... Read More

Mercury Hg Review

Mercury Hg is one of the most innovative arcade games I have seen so far. The premise is really simple but manages to pull you in and grab your attention for a while. If you don’t know anything ab... Read More

The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection Review

Fumito Ueda's classic, Shadow of the Colossus and Ico, were two of the only games last generation that could arguably be called 'art', along with a few others like Metroid Prime and Okami. These two g... Read More
