Gioteck EX-05 Headset Review

In these straightened times, buying a gaming peripheral can be a big decision and a sizeable investment. But with a summer lull for big game releases, there's no reason what money you do have should b... Read More

Unotelly Review

Unotelly Review

Unotelly is a very handy DNS service that allows you to watch previously blocked channels or services. The great thing about this is? It works with your game consoles - that's right, the PS3 and Xbox ... Read More

Hitman Sniper Challenge Review

Hitman Sniper Challenge Review

Hitman Sniper Challenge offers gamers a glimpse of what Hitman: Absolution will be like by offering them the opportunity to snipe some bad guys in a limited time. There's just one level here and it's ... Read More

Spelunky Review

Spelunky Review

Spelunky is not a game for the faint of heart. In spite of its cutesy exterior that resembles a charming, NES era game, Spelunky will destroy you if it ever gets the chance. Going by how disarmingly d... Read More

Wreckateer Review

Wreckateer Review

As cool as the technology behind Kinect really is, the peripheral has failed to live up to its promise of providing us all a new way to play. Unfortunately, Kinect is inherently restricted in the opti... Read More

Test Drive Ferrari Racing Legends Review

Test Drive Ferrari Racing Legends Review

Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends is the latest release by Rombax Games into the Test Drive franchise dating back to 1987. I tend to find most driving games fall into 2 categories; Arcade, where driv... Read More

NCAA Football 13 Review

NCAA Football 13 Review

If there’s any guarantee to the gaming industry, it’s that there’s going to be a football game every year. NCAA Football 13 builds off the previous games and continues with the same excitement o... Read More

Deadlight Review

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 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

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 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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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 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 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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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
