Rage
That being said, there’s no denying that the combat elements are right up our street, and this gives us great hope that the upcoming Doom 4 will be an absolute blinder. For now, Rage is id Software’s venture in the realm of role-playing - and now we’d rather it goes...
Portal 2
Portal 2 is the best Valve release to date, and one of the most refreshing, exciting and innovative games we’ve ever played. There’s no doubt in our minds that numerous Game of the Year awards have now already been shotgunned, and with mighty good reason. If you thought the original...
Anomaly: Warzone Earth
Anomaly: Warzone Earth is exciting, clever and ultimately addictive. There’s a level of innovation here that we rarely see in AAA gaming, and we’d like to see more of it please. If you have any interest in tower defence whatsoever, this is an essential purchase.
Thing is, while this is all well and good, we do have to wonder what took Ubisoft so long to port it over. Four months later, and the buzz surrounding the game has died down, with console owners instead waiting for the next instalment to continue the tale. The free...
Crysis 2
Crysis 2 ticks all the right boxes, with a lengthy campaign that packs plenty of replay value and multiplayer options that are bound to prove a big hit. If only the suit’s powers were managed a little better, and the AI was up to scratch, we’d be recommending this outright.
Torchlight
While Torchlight’s original faults still stand, the game lends itself wonderfully to the Xbox 360 controller, and we found ourselves preferring the console edition. If you’re looking for a hack ‘n’ slasher to lose a week’s worth of nights to, then sit down - you’ve found it.
Dead Space 2
The Necromorph are back to give us the willies all over again in Dead Space 2.
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is available now for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Dead Rising 2
Dead Rising 2 doesn’t exactly build that much on the original game, but then again many would argue that it didn’t really need to. If you were a big fan of Frank and his zombie-smashing ways, prepare to make good friends with Chuck and his very familiar journey. If, however,...
Mafia II
Mafia II is exactly the sequel Mafia fans have been waiting all these years for. It’s a brutal tale of underworld family business and killing without a second thought that will have you hooked all the way. You’d do well to grab yourself a copy. Capeesh?
Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days provides what the original could not - fantastically gory action over a stunning backdrop of mob warfare and careless violence. There are still a few issues carried over that mar the overall package, but both Mr Kane and Mr Lynch now most definitely have...
