Just Cause 2
When I was in my prime, many moons ago, strutting my stuff in the school yard and all that, I had a lady friend who I was pretty close with if you catch my drift. This is a true story, so bear with me. She was an attractive young lady...
Creating a successful foursome in video games seems to be a trickier thing than you’d have first thought. Other than the obvious Gears of War crew, which is more of two twosomes if you catch my drift, it’s a rare commodity. Compare that to other popular mediums and you’ll see...
Final Fantasy XIII
There seems to be a tradition in my household every Christmas that spurs one of our family members to take one of their gifts for their loved ones, stick it in a box and apply enough wrapping paper and layers of Sellotape that it would be enough to contain a...
If you take a minute to look back over the video game industry’s relatively short but celebrated lifespan, it’s plain to see how many iconic characters have sprung up in such a short time. And we’re not necessarily talking singular characters here either because we’ve had just as many dynamic...
Assassin's Creed II
Attention! This is a public service announcement. Before reading this review, discard everything that tainted your thoughts previously regarding the Assassin’s Creed franchise, because this is Assassin’s Creed, but not as you know it... this is Assassin’s Creed 2.0. Hey! It was my turn to do that! Everyone else is...
Left 4 Dead 2
It’s hard to pinpoint where our fascination with zombies lies dormant in our untapped minds. Maybe there is some hard wired and deep-seated fixation on fearing for our lives and being backed into corners, wondering when it will all end. Regardless, this unhealthy appeal with our undead friends has existed...
The purpose of games has been a hotly debated topic in recent years. Some argue that they are created to provide fun times, whilst others argue they are created as an art form, or even to engage an emotional response. Operation Flashpoint falls somewhere in the grey area. A realistic...
Halo 3: ODST
Microsoft’s flagship franchise, Halo, is a franchise that really needs no introduction... usually. This isn’t your traditional Halo title though and the naysayers that claimed Bungie couldn’t pull off a Halo title without the super soldier Master Chief will be eating their hats for years to come. That’s right, Bungie’s...
As far as genres go in the shooter world, the western genre remains fairly sacred and generally untouched. The truth is, there probably isn’t that much of an audience to warrant more than one or two titles every few years. Given that caveat, 2009 will surely be a great year...
Halo Wars
The original Halo way back in 2001 was, believe it or not, originally meant to be an RTS game and it was only through repeat trips back to the drawing board that the title ended up in the FPS genre. Once you know that, it comes as no surprise that...
I think it’s safe to say that Monolith are the kings of first person horror games and have been for quite some time actually. This bold statement is pretty much reliant on two of their premiere franchises; Condemned and FEAR. Rather randomly, Condemned’s sequel last year went off on a...
Mirror's Edge
Mirror’s Edge, EA and Dice’s latest outing, is part of an EA initiative to create some hugely unique and original concepts that can lead EA in to a new era. First out of the gates was Dead Space which hit the press at 1,000 miles an hour, picking up rave...
