EA Sports UFC 2
For some of us, EA Sports' UFC 2 is a perfect simulation of our physical skills. I spent half my time trying to pull of awesome moves and missing my opponent by about a mile, and the other half crying on the floor while someone kicked me in the head. Finally...
Starpoint Gemini 2
"Han Solo" is the best possible job description, and it's something I think we all aspire to. Being a cocky space smuggler is way better than pushing trolleys around a car park on a wet Sunday afternoon, although I suppose everybody has to have a hobby. I specifically mention that scenario...
Tales from the Borderlands
Taking a successful product and ditching everything everybody loves about it is a bold move, and it usually doesn't pay off. It'd be like a Beatles rap album, or cough syrup without the crippling addiction and endless debt. Somewhere along the way, Gearbox and Telltale decided they could make a...
There are people that would say that you deserve to die if you go on your monster-squashing quest armed with nothing but a single arrow, a pink bow in your hair, and a backpack filled with only the finest Waitrose-branded good intentions. Titan Souls doesn't have a story, but it...
Office politics can be a killer. As anybody who has ever had to share a tuna salad baguette with Gina from accounting will attest, we're all just one wrong word away from snapping. Usually that takes the guise of making off-hand comments about a 55-year-old's fascination with leopard skin underwear...
We all know what police officers are like, don't we? If semi-documentaries like The Wire, CSI, The Shield, and A Touch of Frost are anything to go by, there's barely a person in law enforcement on either side of the pond that isn't addicted to meth and good-hearted hookers. As...
There's a classic feminist anthem by Devo which goes into great detail on what one ought to do when faced with a problem. Criminal Girls: Invite Only isn't the long-awaited JRPG based on that classic musical achievement, but there are similarities. In fact, put the song on in the background...
The Resident Evil "REmake" is frequently offered as an example of just how fantastic the series was back in the day. With its stunning visuals, impressive additions, and less embarrassing opening cutscene, it's easy to forget that this enhanced version of the survival horror classic sold well under two million...
Lara Croft is back, kicking butt across an isometric playground filled with demons and darkness, just like in The Guardian of Light. Fans of the original spin-off title will feel instantly at home exploring The Temple of Osiris, fighting off alligators in terrible wigs and solving “puzzles” that tend to...
Square Enix may not know how to do release dates, press conferences, or reasonable haircuts, but it's an expert at HD Collections. The firm's Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster was at least half a masterpiece, and the original Kingdom Hearts collection has become the only proper way to start the...
In a world where songs can kill and chatting with semi-naked girls in bathtubs is part of a sacred ceremony, a religious war has split two factions in half. Propaganda and aggression have kept these two groups separate for long enough that neither realises one simple truth: that there are...
