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

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
Kinect Sports: Season 2 Review
I love the Tennis game mode in Kinect Sports 2; it brings out the pro tennis player in me. Ah… who am I kidding? I’m trying to reduce weight in the most fun way imaginable. Tennis without a racke... Read More
Aliens: Infestation Review
Film tie-ins are one of those gaming elements that is generally hated, but there are definitely some film franchises that produce fairly decent games. The Aliens movies have managed this particular fe... Read More
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Review
Ace Combat was one video game series I always wanted to get into, but never had the skill required to. Every attempt at picking up the controller had me crashing into the ground by one factor or anoth... 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
Spider-Man: Edge of Time Review
The Web Slinger is back once again! This time with a futuristic ally. Spiderman Edge of Time offers a brand new story to the Spidey saga. A villain from the year 2099 has gone back in time to present ... Read More
Dance Central 2 Review
Voice controls can be a great thing that this game, Dance Central 2 taught me. I was slightly impressed by the conservative implementation in Forza 4, where you could access to a bunch of different m... Read More
Battlefield 3 Review
I played the Battlefield 3 beta a lot on the PS3 and I felt it was a mixed bag; you could say I wasn't that impressed, actually, as evident by my impressions, which you can read here. The game on th... Read More
Trackmania 2: Canyon Review
To this day I can't quite understand why Trackmania isn't a huge gaming sensation. It's addictive, accessible and deeply customisable, to the point where every gamer should be privy to its unique char... Read More
Payday: The Heist Review
Payday: The Heist from Sony Online Entertainment is one of the fun games I have played this year, mainly due to the fact that it gives me a weird pleasure robbing banks and killing cops. Well not re... Read More
Nuclear Dawn Review
Nuclear Dawn is a breath of fresh air for the genre. I was very impressed when I played a few games, as it really showed glimpses of brilliance. There are a few faults and some niggling issues here ... Read More
NBA 2K12 Review
I have never been a big fan of the NBA 2K series, neither of basketball sport itself, so obviously, when I went in to play NBA 2K12, I wasn't expecting a lot. At first, when I booted up my f... 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
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record Review
When Dead Rising 2 was released last year there were two glaring omissions that were bemoaned by fans: the original protagonist Frank West was nowhere to be seen and a sandbox mode was also missing. T... 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
The Gunstringer Review
The Gunstringer is Kinect’s best game. The best of the best! It has to mean a lot since it’s been one year since Kinect came out. I haven’t been engrossed in such a motion controller game for a... Read More
Role in the Hole Review
Role in the Hole HD is a pretty fun game. That’s what you expect because it’s sort of like Angry Birds but more awesome. It will remind you of that definitely, but the core gameplay is completel... Read More
King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame Review
Step back in time with King Arthur and you'll find an enjoyable, if rough, ride through the dark ages. King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame appears very much as a spin-off from the Total War series;... 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
Mercury Hg Review
Mercury Hg is one of the most innovative arcade games I have seen so far. The premise is really simple but manages to pull you in and grab your attention for a while. If you don’t know anything ab... 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
We Dance Review
If the recent slew of motion controllers and plastic instruments is anything to go by, it just shows that the gaming public are suckers for new peripherals. It is thus that I recall a giddy excitement... Read More
A Game of Thrones: Genesis Review
Like many others, I was introduced to the “A Song of Fire and Ice” universe with the recent HBO series “A Game of Thrones.” The plot, setting, and characters all spoke to me and I instantly fe... Read More
Forza Motorsport 4 Review
It’s been almost 6 years since the Xbox 360 came out. Why is that so important? It’s because Forza Motorsport 4 is undoubtedly the best looking game on the console. Optimizing codes for the hard... Read More
Serious Sam: Double D Review
Fans of Serious Sam want one thing and one thing only: Unabated and quick paced destruction. The original game has served as a cult hit for generations, with its crazy enemy designs and no bullshit de... Read More
Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 Review
Being American it often surprises me just how popular Soccer is in the rest of the world. It’s the best-selling sports video game genre there is, and is also one of the few that gives you a real cho... Read More
