Sleeping Dogs
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Tony Jaa, Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal (OK, perhaps to a lesser extent for those last two) are undisputed martial arts masters one and all. But you can add Sleeping Dogs' Wei Shen to that list, as from the moment he kung fu kicks...
Game of Thrones
A popular series of books and a subsequent hit HBO TV show has ensured that Game of Thrones is a huge deal and cultural phenomenon, transforming the tie-in game that was originally based solely upon the novels, into something of a high-profile prospect. An RPG that takes elements from both...
Spec Ops: The Line
War is hell. If you needed any further convincing of that fact, then perhaps Spec Ops: The Line can be of some assistance. Set amid a ruined Dubai buried deep in the sand and vast undulating dunes, you're strapped into the army boots of Captain Martin Walker, as he seeks...
Dirt Showdown
Ever since DiRT 2 brought off-roading's 'extreme' aspects to the fore, embracing drivers like Travis Pastrana and Ken Block, the series has increasingly divided fans who've been screaming out for a return to the rally roots of old. There are those that love the OTT aspects and spectacle of the...
Max Payne 3
A true cinematic gaming masterpiece, Max Payne 3 is not just another triumph for Rockstar, but testament to what it can do when it turns its hand to linear storytelling. Max Payne 3 might be a stylistic shift for the series, but it's also a raw and brutal portrait of...
Prototype 2
As the old adage goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely, but having absolute power in Prototype 2 is so damn liberating, that it's hard to care about anti-hero Sgt. James Heller's gradual downward spiral as his humanity ebbs away. As a lead character, he's hardly the most charismatic protagonist and you...
Ridge Racer Unbounded
Here's how you know you're playing a Ridge Racer game: there's palm trees, sandy beaches, azure blue skies, a helicopter occasionally swooping down dangerously close to your car, there's a mental techno soundtrack and you can powerslide at impossible angles. Only some of those elements have made the cut for...
We might be getting old, but it seems that the Devil May Cry games are a lot harder than we remember. They used to be a breeze comparatively speaking, but nowadays it just hurts our wrist bashing buttons to carve and shoot through endless swathes of demon spawn. Repetitive strain...
Mass Effect 3
Here we are then. Mass Effect 3 is finally upon us, and this is what it's all been building up to. The last hurrah for Commander Shepard and his faithful crew, as the Reapers threaten humanity and the rest of the galaxy. Suffice to say, BioWare has got its work...
25 years on, and Street Fighter is still going strong as the granddaddy of the fighting genre, still pushing things forward with all manner of finishing moves, other intricate mechanics and systems that keep it on top of the game. And now its brought along Tekken for the ride, welcoming...
Binary Domain
Ghost in the Shell, Terminator, I, Robot (the novel, not the movie), Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica... All seminal sci-fi classics and all clear influences upon SEGA and Yakuza Studio's latest entry into the third-person shooter genre that more people really ought to be playing. Binary Domain hasn't really had much...
UFC Undisputed 3
Punching and kicking faces has never been more popular. Not lately anyway. And with MMA and by extension the UFC brand now part of the everyday cultural lexicon and zeitgeist, the UFC Undisputed series is the daddy of virtual mixed martial arts. There's no disputing that. Yet, having broken the...
