Haunt Review

Haunt Review

Haunt is an interesting game, using Kinect controls and developed exclusively for the Xbox 360. Sometimes it feels like these are the only sort of games Microsoft is willing to fund right now. So, ri... Read More

Kinect Sports 2: Season 2 – Midnight Mountain DLC Review

I reviewed Kinect Sports 2 a few months ago, which you can check out over here, and the most remarkable thing about the game was that, it was actually a downgrade over the first one. Now Microsoft h... Read More

Gears of War 3: Fenix Rising Review

Gears of War 3: Fenix Rising Review

Epic Games has been providing plenty of support for Gears of War after it came out last year. While the quality of the content is very good, it has to be mentioned it doesn't come cheap. Of course, yo... Read More

Choplifter HD Review

Choplifter HD Review

Choplifter HD is an old game which is re-imagined for the current HD consoles and released on PSN, XBLA and PC. So what makes it so different now? The first impression for me was a little underwhelm... Read More

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Review

LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Review

The last three books/last four movies (depending on where you stand) of Harry Potter are really dark movies with bleak narratives, something that is not suited at all to a LEGO game. Growing from... Read More

Super Mario 3D Land Review

Super Mario 3D Land Review

The 3DS had been down in the dumps till November last year, and even though it’s sales had picked up after the massive price drop, we were yet to see any good, must-have games on the system. Sure, w... Read More

Street Wrestler Review (iOS)

Street Wrestler Review (iOS)

Street Wrestler gives a good first impression. It feels like the developers have put a lot of effort into this, and I really love the cell shaded visuals. Think of Borderlands, when it comes to the ... Read More

Streetbike: Full Blast Review (iOS)

Streetbike: Full Blast Review (iOS)

Okay, look. I love bikes. Yeah, the love goes all the way back to the Roadrash days; the nifty little bike game that was all the rage back then. So when I got the review code for this game, I was el... Read More

Persona 2: Innocent Sin Review

Persona 2: Innocent Sin Review

I just reviewed Trials in the Sky recently, and considering it was such a joy to play a hardcore old-school RPG like that, Persona 2: Innocent Sin just takes it to another level. Again, this is a de... Read More

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Review

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Review

Trails in the Sky is a 7-year-old game released again for the PSP, and oh boy, it’s one of the best, simple and old-school JRPGs I’ve played this year. I really have to praise this game, because ... Read More

Sonic Generations 3DS Review

Sonic Generations 3DS Review

Sonic hasn't been at his best over the past decade. Indeed, Sega seemed to be mishandling Sonic and his now “radical” style at every turn, but things have been looking up with the awesome Sonic Ge... Read More

Kinect: Disneyland Adventures Review

Kinect: Disneyland Adventures Review

Ever been to Disneyland? If not, Kinect: Disney Land Adventures is incredibly accurate. The developers have done a fine job recreating it in the game, and I can go as far and say that it is basicall... Read More

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster Review

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster Review

Trine 2 is an amazing game; let me get this out of the way first. It’s about teamwork and incredible platforming which challenges your wit to the limits. It’s also about using the powers of the t... Read More

WRC2: FIA World Rally Championship 2011 Review

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
