Shadows of the Damned
If you have an affinity for over-the-top and in-your-face male characters who lead the way with testosterone and are armed with one hell of a potty mouth, then 2011 has you covered. Whether you’re talking the Duke from Duke Nukem Forever or the entirety of the Bulletstorm cast, it’s clear...
Dirt 3
Despite loving DiRT 2 for what it was – a sublime off-road racer – I moaned about it a lot. I could be often found skulking in dark alleys at night screaming “Where’s all the traditional rally!?” at the top of my lungs whilst knocking back as much whiskey out...
Crysis 2
I like to think the original Crysis was the Britney Spears circa 1999, of video games. You know, pretty on the eyes, soulless and a little bat-shit crazy. It may have set the benchmark on PCs for visuals and Crytek’s proprietary in-house engine, the CryEngine, did put a fear of...
Bulletstorm
The traditional mentality of shooters on the market at the moment is for the player to put a bullet between the eyes of every hostile mofo that crosses their path. It's a formula that's not really changed much since the genre began. Bulletstorm breaks that mould. It breaks it so...
I was in a large branded supermarket – whose name shall not be uttered – the other day, browsing the electrical section – you know, testing my willpower and what not. It was then when I noticed a small young child wandering aimlessly around the aisles. Desperately looking for his...
Kinectimals
As a studious and established – yes, I established my own establishment – reviewer of games of the video type, it’s important that when you’re on your next assignment, that you truly view the game from the perspective of its intended audience... It’s no use playing FIFA and moaning that...
The Sims 3
Today has been a very eventful day. This morning, I woke up, read the newspaper at breakfast, searched the internet and had a quick chat with a few friends. Then for lunch, I thought I’d venture into town, have a quick swim at the local swimming pool, buy a book,...
Fable
I was 8 hours into Fable III before I was abruptly reminded via a load screen that I hadn’t kicked a chicken yet. Surely that’s not right... I had dressed up as a chicken and was asked to dance around like one to lure a batch of escaped poultry back...
Dead Rising 2
If the games industry was some cheesy 1980s high school drama and I was the teacher with the tweed jacket with leather elbow protectors, smoking a pipe thinking I’m still “trendy,” and Blue Castle and Capcom’s Dead Rising 2 was the student, with the ginger hair, freckles and look of...
Halo: Reach
Chances are you’ve already made your mind up about whether or not you’re going to pick up Halo: Reach on launch, but if you’re one of the seven people who is still sat on the fence, then consider this a friendly little nudge in the right direction. Yes, this is...
Red Dead Redemption
Taking a barren wasteland of dust and wannabe outlaws and turning it into an open-world action-adventure title on the same level as Rockstar’s other open-world titles is no easy feat. Red Dead Redemption is a Wild West adventure title like no other though. Granted, it did face the trials and...
Alan Wake
How Remedy got from a stunning play-on-words-name like Max Payne to Alan Wake, I’ll never know. It must have been a really sleep deprived meeting when that name was given the go-ahead. Remedy wanted their new protagonist to be an everyday man, yet every time I hear his name, I...
