With Mastertronic now engaged with PopCap in a distribution deal covering the UK, many of PopCap's games are getting a re-print in a new edition. Plants vs. Zombies has been given such a makeover with... Read More
de Blob 2 Review
de Blob 2 is a sequel to the first game which was only released for the Nintendo Wii in 2008. In de Blob 2 everything is very similar to the first game as it is like a giant coloring book and in... Read More
Magicka Review
The last couple of years have been amazing for gamers. And no, I do not refer to the plethora of blockbuster testosterone fueled action games starring one dimensional leads that have glutted the marke... Read More
Earthrise Review
MMOs are very often disappointing, because it's very hard for a developer to build such a large game without any hiccups. The recently released Final Fantasy XIV showed us that even the best of develo... Read More
Deadly Premonition Review: A Fresh Perspective
Deadly Premonition has been out for sometime in the US, but I and my contemporaries in Europe have only been offered the Deadly Premonition experience since last October. A two month old game may seem... Read More
Last Half of Darkness: Tomb of Zojir Review
Sometimes you need to know when to let a good thing go. The survival horror and point and click adventure genres have been on the cusp of relevance for quite some time now and most of the key franchis... Read More
Europa Universalis 3: Divine Wind Review
Europa Universalis 3 was released back in 2007, and since then, it has had three expansion packs. Never ever have I felt that the game was getting boring, or that it had lost any of its qualities. Whi... Read More
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Review
World of Warcraft is one of these odd titles that you either love or hate. Regardless of your standing on it WoW is clearly here to stay but, after six years of mediocre expansions, the game was reall... Read More
Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania Review
Majesty 2 was a great game. Yes, it did have a lot of flaws, some which could definitely could not be overlooked, but it was a great game nonetheless. Majesty 2: Battles of Ardania, the expansion pack... Read More
Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition Review
We all had our Warhammer phase back when we were kids but I never quite crossed over into Blood Bowl, Games Workshop's exreme sports board game. It was thus that I installed Blood Bowl: Legendary Edit... Read More
The Ball Review
You're an archeologist, working near a volcano in Mexico, when, quite conveniently, you fall into some kind of ditch, and find yourself in an ungainly cave, that shows signs that it was/is inhabited b... Read More
Fallout: New Vegas Review
I believe it was Blake who once said that “without contraries there is no progression.” Fallout: New Vegas is a game that is loaded with opposing forces, whether it be the choices you face as the ... Read More
Mafia II Review
With games like Grand Theft Auto IV, and more recently, the spectacular Red Dead Redemption having come out of the Take-Two Banner, a lot was expected of Mafia II, the sequel to what was a beautiful, ... Read More
R.U.S.E. Reviewed
With the release of Starcraft 2 so recently behind us, it seems both brave and foolish to release another RTS game so soon. R.U.S.E however, packs a serious strategic punch and offers a more macro-ori... Read More
The Room Tribute Review
As a self professed “core gamer” I have always considered the humble flash game to be beneath my well honed expertise. With games such as Farmville hoarding so many hours within the casual gaming ... Read More
Worms: Reloaded Review
Team 17 hit their peak in 1999 when they released Worms: Armageddon, the sequel to the sleeper hit Worms and Worms 2. Whilst the original was criticised for a limited weapon arsenal and barely visible... Read More
Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days Review
T. S. Elliot, Poet and critic extraordinaire, once said that art does not exist in a vacuum and can only be a viewed in relation to a personal history. I think the same can be applied to games, as y... Read More
Dogfighter Review
Let's get this straight- Dogfighter does not break new ground. It doesn't even improve on one of many well-worn formulas. Dogfighter is a game to dip in and out of, nothing more. However, what a fun d... Read More
Alpha Protocol Review
Obsidian are a developer I have always loved, but have never had much respect for. Their work on the Fallout games is legendary, but I've always been more of a Baldur's Gate man. Knights of the old re... Read More

Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West Review
It has taken me a few days of thinking before I forced my self to buy this game, as I have to purchase carefully to keep my 'good game intake' > 'current financial capital'. I read tons of comments... Read More
BOH Review
BOH isn't a bad game. It is an indie game after all, and as such we can't go in expecting ground breaking graphics, or the most incredibly sophisticated AI ever seen. However, what we can and should e... Read More
Mole Control Review
In Mole Control you take charge of a person sitting in what can only be described as a cross between a large rodent and a flying car. You are then tasked with removing the moles from peoples gardens i... Read More
Mount and Blade: Warband Review
If you aren't familiar with the basic mechanics of Mount and Blade, read the review of the original game here. However, if you own or have played the original, the gameplay stays much the same. Combat... Read More
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Review
You creep down the side of a building, listening for movement. Suddenly, a rifle shot slices through the air millimetres above your head, so you sprint to the nearest cover- behind a wooden fence. A t... Read More
Star Trek Online Review
When I heard that there was a Star Trek MMO being put together in 2008 it definitely peaked my interest. I am a big Star Trek fan, so news also made me somewhat nervous. In my opinion past Star Trek g... Read More
Napoleon: Total War Review
When Empire: Total War released at the beginning of 2009, it was met with some disdain from long time followers of the franchise, due to bugs, glitches, crashes and other technical issues. Napoleon ... Read More
Dragon Age: Origins (PC) Review
Dragon Age: Origins is bound to go down in history as a classic of the RPG genre. BioWare, the developer of Baldur's Gate and Knights of the Old Republic fame, has made magic again, this time in a mor... Read More
Serious Sam HD Review
Serious Sam HD is the kind of game that some people are starting to miss after a lengthy hiatus. The shooter genre has moved away from the fast paced fragging seen in games like Quake and into more re... Read More
