Deadlight Review
Deadlight had me intrigued ever since I saw the trailer for it ages ago, and immediately I knew this game was going to be something special. But trailers can be so deceptive nowadays. Deadlight is a... Read More
Inversion Review
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
Just Dance 3 Wii Review
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 Review
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
Warriors Orochi 3 Review
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
PUMA: After Hours Athletes Review
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
Medieval Moves Review
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
Fibble Review
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 Xbox 360 Review
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
Fable Heroes Review
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
London 2012: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games Review
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
Jeremy McGrath’s Offroad Review
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 Hawk’s Pro Skater HD Review
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 Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Review
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 Review
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
Rabbids: Alive and Kicking review
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
Hoodwink Review
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
The Amazing Spider-Man Review
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
Marvel Pinball Avengers Chronicles Review
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
Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat Review
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
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 Review
Having spent what feels like forever trying to dominate the 3D platformer, Sonic Team have finally noticed that they weren't fooling anyone, and have since returned to the 2D realm with the help of co... Read More
Quantum Conundrum Review
Airtight Games took on Portal 2 co-creator Kim Swift as Project Lead for Quantum Conundrum. As a result, Portal forms a lot of the essence here - and yet, so much of it's own creativity just seeps thr... Read More
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Review (PS Vita)
Ever since the Vita version of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection was revealed, it was something I had to play being such a big Metal Gear nut. The Vita version is a fantastic port considering these were ... Read More
Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 Review
The original Duels of the Planeswalkers seemed to come out of nowhere back in 2009, and it managed to reignite my long lost love of Magic and of card games in general. Fast forward three years and I'm... Read More
Marvel Pinball: Vengeance and Virtue Review
There's usually a problem reviewing pinball games, and that is that these games are what they are- pinball simulators that either play well, or they don't, and there is nothing more to be said about t... Read More
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Dawnguard Review
Bethesda's legendary Elder Scrolls series of role playing games got another installment last November. Skyrim took the world by storm, achieving mainstream success that few games ever manage, breaki... Read More
Fate Extra Review
As a self-professed lover of all things anime and most decent JRPGs, I was surprised that I received a review copy of an animé style role playing game I hadn't heard of. As someone who is obsessed wi... Read More
The Walking Dead: Episode 2 – ‘Starved for Help’ Review
People can forget all their values and humanity when it comes to the question of pure survival. We've seen it happen before where even eating worms is an option for some precious protein. Just make t... Read More
Ratchet and Clank HD Collection Review
Ratchet and Clank games have been a bit of an anomaly on the PS3, missing the fun, innovation and charm that its PS2 counterparts possessed. This is strictly my opinion obviously,... Read More
FIFA 12- UEFA Euro 2012 Review
When EA announced that this year's UEFA Euro game tie-in wouldn't be a full fledged retail release, rather a DLC for last year's excellent FIFA 12, I was glad and disappointed at the same time. I was ... Read More
