You know the score. A tale of swords and souls, eternally retold and all that. And having been rescued from the jaws of retirement by vocal fans, Soul Calibur is back for a fifth instalment, bringing its own brand of clashing steel, historical pomp and flashy pyrotechnics kicking and screaming...

Rayman Origins is massive. Really massive. That's why it's not an episodic XBLA game as originally intended, but a full-blooded retail disc release instead, with all of the intrinsic value that entails. A result of Ubisoft's remarkable UbiART Framework, Rayman is also a deceptively cute game, which might look all...

Fusing a racing game with a Hollywood blockbuster-grade story is always going to be a hard sell. When have you ever known it to be pulled off in a really convincing and memorable way? Never. And if it has, then it can't have been particularly good, because we can't remember...

It looks like old Ezio's been through quite a lot since the end of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. After all, he has a grey beard now, which as everyone knows is the universal indicator of old age. But while the master assassin finds himself on new stomping grounds in Constantinople, Desmond...

I'm Batman. As I stalk Arkham City's rooftops tapping into radio frequencies, tuned into the pulse of the criminal network, I can run, leap and glide off the edge of a building, zip-line from ledge to ledge, never losing momentum. I can beat seven shades of crap out of entire...

'MAKE METAL BLEED' screams the back of the box for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, and if nothing else, Project Aces' latest crack at ruling the skies with its action-packed flight franchise certainly delivers on that promise. Assault Horizon is quite possibly the most arcadey and accessible Ace Combat yet, dispensing...

As the old adage goes, be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. And so it is with Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. You wished for Frank West's return, and so Capcom has granted that very boon, bringing the photojournalist back into the fray, fresh from...

Dark Souls is a hard game. We all know this, and from the moment you slip the disc into your console, it'll punish you. A lot. But like a sadomasochist or a moth flying into a flame, you'll die, die, die, then die again, then die some more. But you'll...

An asteroid glides silently through the vacuum of outer space, blazing a trail towards a collision course with Earth before hitting the surface of our fragile blue planet, irrevocably transforming the landscape forever. And unfortunately for you, you're one of the few to survive the impact, waking to a brave...

This has to be one of the easiest reviews we've ever had to write. We've probably played through the entirety of Resident Evil 4 about seven times. It was our one of the only reasons that we decided to invest in a Gamecube and we were only too happy to...

Formula One is a tough sport. That's one thing you can take from playing F1 2011 straight away, and while you might watch Formula One on the weekends, thinking it doesn't look all that difficult continuously driving around a circuit for a few hours, a brief spell with the second...

Once upon a time, Warhammer 40,000 to us denoted kids in Games Workshop prodding around figurines with little red sticks, or painstakingly painting tiny miniatures, or reading White Dwarf magazine. Since playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine however, we're happy to associate the Games Workshop universe with third-person action games, as...
