Castlevania: Harmony of Despair Review
People trust too much. I love Xbox Live and I know it will continue on future Microsoft consoles, but some day (as with the original Xbox) the 360 will lose online support. Where does that leave us wi... Read More
Playmobil: Circus Review
Being a game critic isn't always fun and games (excuse the pun). Aside from legions of immature fan-boys questioning your mothers sexual decency every time you disagree with their opinion you are also... Read More
Tournament of Legends Review
“Why waggle!? Why must you destroy so many decent titles with your ineffective control methods?! WHY?!!!” It was after shouting this that I had to swiftly correct myself, realising that the game i... Read More

Sniper: Ghost Warrior Review
The FPS is a versatile genre. It's comfortable on both PC and the home consoles and is able to grab the attention of almost any gamer, provided the mechanics are solid. It's because of this versatilit... Read More
Scene It? Twilight Review
First off, let me just say that I am not fan of Twilight. I haven’t watched the movies or read the books. And just thinking about them fills me with rage. So when I received a copy to review, I was ... Read More
Mionix Naos 500 Gaming Mouse Review
CompuExpert were generous to send use a complimentary sample of Mionix Naos 500 Gaming Mouse. With the market already saturated with gaming mice, is it really one of the best among the best? Read the ... Read More
Toy Story 3 Review
It has almost reached the point now where I count film tie-ins as a completely separate genre within video games. A genre that is almost unanimously disliked. The sheer trash that is thrown our way di... Read More
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies Review
Dragon Quest IX marks the second title of the Dragon quest series to be released in Europe. I'm certainly glad the games have finally made it to my home-land, but there's no doubt that the series has ... Read More

Blur Review
Blur has something that I can’t quite put my finger on; as I first played I instantly deemed it as a typical car shooter with no real potential. Though I have to give all games an equal opportunity,... Read More

Samurai Warriors 3 Review
Who keeps buying these games year after year? Seriously? I recall playing Dynasty Warriors 2 on the PS2 back in 2000 and it was pretty fun. A decade later and Omega Force has shamelessly re-released t... Read More
Transformers: War for Cybertron Review
As a youngster I grew up with my older brother who I was always close to. I never really got the whole transformers thing but he did, so I spent many of my formative years gaining second hand informat... Read More

Peppa Pig: Fun and Games Review
It was Matthew Arnold who once said that art should be mainly judged on whether it achieves what it sets out to do. It is with this in mind that this review must come in two parts: Whether I enjoyed i... Read More

Puzzle Quest 2 Review
The casual gaming scene is one of those phenomena that has escalated quickly over the past few years, and I'll admit that I fail to understand where the enjoyment lies in the whole thing. Solitaire is... Read More
Green Day: Rock Band Review
Green Day: Rock Band, what more is there really to say? There was a point in this world when I was in love with both of these names, Green Day and Rock Band. Over the past years I have grown to have u... Read More
ModNation Racers Review
Cuddle up with your favorite author and get ready to wait as ModNation Racers has some of the longest loading screen I have ever sat through. The actual load time isn’t all that bad but you will see... 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
Super Street Fighter IV Review
Super Street Fighter 4 is the latest instalment in Capcom’s Flagship fighting franchise. The 2D fighter was released in April 2010. It is available on PS3, Xbox 360 and in arcades on a limited-relea... Read More
Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes From Liberty City Review
We gamers, as a bunch, have a stark tendency to be very bad at dealing with any kind of controversy. It is thus that I must very sheepishly admit to you that when GTA 4 was released back in 2008 I was... Read More
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Review
The original No More Heroes released in early 2008 to a surprising amount of commercial and critical acclaim. It is thus that for its inevitable sequel I must state a necessary fact for the purpose of... Read More

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review
The original Super Mario Galaxy epitomised everything I love and hate about the Nintendo Wii. It was an original and enjoyable game full of bright ideas that had seemingly no hype and advertising what... Read More
How To Train Your Dragon Review
Anyone who knows anything about the games industry will be able to tell you two undeniable truths. That movie tie-in games always fail and that games directly aimed at children tend to be equally poor... Read More
Pure Football Review
Pure Football marks an inauspicious first foray for Ubisoft into the genre.
