NeverDead Review
I'm not quite sure what I expected, going in to NeverDead for the first time, especially after having remained virtually undetected on my radar until playday I initially thought this could be a go... Read More
Trine 2 (PSN) Review
The author of this review and the author of the PC version review are different persons, and their views may differ. To read our PC version review of Trine 2, click here. What you notice first a... Read More
Rayman Origins Review
Rayman is one of the more instantly recognisable figures in gaming history, yet his time in the industry has been up and down over the years. Initially starring in his own 2D platformer, it was the su... Read More
Dungeon Defenders (PSN) Review
Some of you might have played Dungeon Defenders on your iOS or Android device already, but for those of you who haven't, now is the perfect time to do so. Because while it may not be the best download... Read More
WRC2: FIA World Rally Championship 2011 Review
Sequels are an inevitable part of a successful franchise, more so in gaming than any other medium. There seems to be a bit of contention on the idea of video game sequels as of late though, with more ... Read More
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Review
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 was released after almost a decade of inactivity by Capcom. Were the fans pleased? You bet. Why wouldn’t they? They have been clamoring for the game for a long time now, but ju... Read More
House of the Dead Overkill: Extended Cut Review
I tend to have a gag reflex when it comes to any games that feature guns. As the shooter genre and its various tributaries have evolved over the years, they have become increasingly similar, constantl... Read More
Sonic Generations Review
Sonic Generations is a game that has been a long time coming but, as the popular aphorism goes, better late than never. Sonic Generations takes Sonic back to his roots, all the while managing to updat... Read More
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken Review
These 2D side-scrolling games never strike as unique to me. They always end up resembling some other game in the genre. That’s not a bad thing, though. You can only innovate so much in the genre i... Read More
Tekken Hybrid Review
The launch of PS3 exclusive Tekken Hybrid is a comprehensive package of fighting goodness for fans of the series, combining a 3D movie – Tekken: Blood Vengeance, an HD version of the classic fan fav... Read More
Rochard Review
There’s something about these 2D side scrolling platformers that makes me really enjoy them a lot, and it’s the same case with Rochard. Think of Shadow Complex set in space and you get Rochard. I... Read More
Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One Review
It’s perhaps a little unfortunate that Ratchet & Clank’s first real dalliance with co-op gameplay should hit the shelves at a time when several huge multiplayer titles are scheduled. Neverthel... Read More
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn Review
Movie adaptations of classic franchises are often a mixed blessing. Having grown up with the Tintin comics and the classic 90's cartoon adaptation, I had high hopes for the recent movie (even if I did... Read More
Battlefield 3 (Xbox 360/PS3) Review
The authors of this review and the PC version review are different persons and their views and scores may differ. To read our Battlefield 3 PC review, click here. We already know the PC version of Ba... Read More
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Review
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was one of the best reasons to own a PlayStation 3. The game had everything- engaging gameplay, outstanding set pieces and a multiplayer that rocks till date. In other words... Read More
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
Batman: Arkham City Review
[caption id="attachment_50696" align="aligncenter" width="505"] Hero that Gotham needs.[/caption] Rocksteady showed glimpses of talent when Batman: Arkham Asylum came out, but after playing Batman: Ar... Read More
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
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
Rage (PS3) Review

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
F1 2011 Review
Light shining off the shiny contours of the cars, the heat rising up from the sun-soaked tarmac and the rasping engines primed to roar off from the starting grid. Both presentation- and content-wise, ... Read More
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD Review
Wine and cheese are two of the rare commodities that get better with age, an attribute than cannot be applied to gaming in the conventional sense. I played Resident Evil: Code Veronica recently on Dre... Read More
From Dust Review
From Dust is one of the most unique games I have played this gen. The game basically gives you the power of a God i.e to manipulate nature and ensure the survival and prosperity of your tribe. It wo... Read More
God of War: Origins Collection Review
God of War: Ghost of Sparta was one of our favourite games last year, and anybody who read our review, in which we gave it a 9.5/10, would know how much we loved the game, and Chains of Olympus was no... Read More
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron Review
It’s not often that even a few hours into a game you still have little idea what’s going on but El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is one of those games. It’s described as a third person comb... Read More
Driver: San Francisco Review
There was a time way back, when all I heard about was how great Driver was. Friends, magazines and adverts all conspired to show me that I needed to buy this game. So I did. Whilst I wouldn't say I wa... Read More
Resistance 3 Review
There haven’t been many games made where you have nothing worth fighting for, or have no chance of completely eliminating the enemy. Resistance 3 portrays that scenario. The game takes place in th... Read More
Bodycount Review
Bodycount, by Codemasters, is the latest addition to the first person shooter genre. I spent some time with this game and if I had to sum it up in one word, it would be “disappointing”. The game s... Read More
Dead Island Review
By now nearly all of you must have seen, or at least heard about, the reveal trailer for Dead Island – the haunting video about a family getaway that goes bad. Really bad! Happy, smiling faces quick... Read More
