Crusader Kings II
Whilst the subject matter and the set-up may not be to everyone’s liking, Crusader Kings II is definitely the most impressive Paradox game to date. The game mechanics are an interesting twist on a well-known genre, the code itself is highly polished, and it’s just a really fun and interesting...
But, assuming you’re fine with that, then Skyrim is, in a word, amazing. Sure, it has its problems, its oddities, and again some of these are just down to how the game is made and others just need some extra patching or work done to it. There is always a...
Battlefield 3
There is one last thing that, due to words spoken and gauntlets thrown, everyone’s going to want to know: who’s won the war of the FPS this year. Whilst Battlefield 3 is an incredibly strong contender, it’s a little bit rough around the edges, and some facets of its make-up...
What you really want to know though is - is it worth buying? We’d say yes. The campaign is a decent length, and there’s stuff in place to encourage re-plays. Ruin needs some work done to it, but Infestation has plenty to offer as well. In terms of value, this...
The Last Stand FTE mode. Getting through that is quite a rewarding experience.
Homefront
Incredibly rough around the edges, wasteful of unique opportunities, and light on content, we quite frankly question the longevity of this title. But you know what? There are worse games you could spend your money on. If you want something different yet familiar whilst you wait for Battlefield 3 or...
Total War: Shogun 2
The Total War Community, especially in recent years, has become a bit hard to please. We’re confident though that this will meet most of your expectations. Given the nature of the franchise, don’t expect a ton of depth on the scale that Paradox manages, but there’s enough here to play...
Bulletstorm
If we’re being honest for a second, we were surprised. We thought this was going to be an ok game, gimmicky, but ok. Nothing special… boy were we wrong. Considering the sleuth of military shooters we’ve had recently (not that there’s necessarily anything wrong with them), this is an incredibly...
Magicka
The fact that, at the time of writing, Magicka had surpassed 150,000 sales, is just a testament to how fun and addictive the core game really is. Now that most of the major hiccups out of the way, this is definitely a must-buy game, but it really needs to be...
Tron: Evolution
There is sense of slight disappointment that permeates this review - it’s true, we did come out of this slightly deflated, but that’s not to say this isn’t a good game. Propaganda have done a really good job in crafting something that not only achieves its main purpose, but...
Fallout: New Vegas
Despite minor disappointments however, this is a very engaging title. Those who missed some of the more trademark Fallout elements in Fallout 3 should be somewhat satiated in this game, as Obsidian really bring that flair to the franchise once again. The glitches, whilst highly annoying, will hopefully be patched...
