Fable III
PC Fable III is clearly the superior when it comes to the Xbox 360 version, if you’ve the Windows machine to match its requirements. The keyboard and mouse are embraced with the game’s notifications and cues adapting on the fly to whether you’re using them or if you’ve stuck with...
Worgen shapeshifting, flying mounts in Azeroth and the action adventures of Harrison Jones!
Front Mission Evolved
Front Mission Evolved can sit well with mech game fans especially with its multiplayer. However as a third-person action shooter not very much stands out unless you quite enjoy boss battles with lots and lots of strafing, reloading, repairing and firing volley after volley of missiles, rockets and bullets.

In the end StarCraft II didn’t go changing on us in the fundamentals, and that’s perhaps the greatest feature Blizzard could ever have included. What works, works and StarCraft nailed it back in 1998 and StarCraft II: Wings if Liberty nails it here and now in 2010. Please sir, can...
The Last Remnant
The Last Remnant is an RPG in it for the long haul with hours upon hours of gameplay buried deep inside, providing you can overlook the occasionally queasy dialogue and confusing inventory interface. Square Enix deliver not the most original of plots but the world is chock full of vibrant...

Empire Earth III
Remembering the old Empire Earth and realising how much I still love the “complicated” relic.
Mass Effect
The dialogues are mind-blowing in both quality of the voice-over work and their realism. (Inter)Stellar work all round!
The deed system is so simple yet so great; it’s a real surprise it hasn’t been included much before. Perhaps Turbine will set the trend …?
I wasn’t captivated enough to think, “now that’s tops!”
