All in all, it's still a very solid collection that's easy to recommend. These are games that stand the test of time, which wouldn't have benefited from more polygons, and which have been well revamped with higher resolution where appropriate (such as in battles and on the maps). If you're...
The building system is fairly simple, but it requires time, resources and planning if you want to make it work effectively. You can also upgrade buildings and station heroes in them to gain bonuses.
As it stands, it's a slightly odd mix of fast-paced arcade racing, an unbalanced game, a story that takes up too much space, almost too many systems, and controls that demand a lot from the player. Screamer isn't a bad game, but it tries to do almost too much. I...
As I said; Marathon's foundations are solid, strong, and well-functioning, and although the game might lack a hook, or simply maps that build on this solid foundation, I feel confident enough, even without Cryo Archive, to recommend Marathon solely on the basis of this rather fantastic loop. That doesn't mean...
The insects are entertaining and provide a different perspective on the conflict that we rarely see in Starship Trooper titles.
Sure, there are a few minor things that rub you the wrong way—after all, you can always wish for more, wish for a few more scenes and even more time with Eugene. But as I mentioned earlier, the game leaves you with a rare sense of satisfaction and is proof...

In first person, everything becomes much more challenging, but also more realistic, of course, but I must admit that I prefer to see the machines from different perspectives from the outside. Above all, it's the feeling of having fun when I sit in the cab of a machine that is...
It's a shame, really, because the period is interesting, and the idea of following a female knight through plague-ridden Italy could easily have been the starting point for something really exciting. But in its current form, 1348: Ex Voto is difficult to recommend. Perhaps some patches could improve the experience...
As I wrote in the introduction, I really love embarking on grand and long adventures. Therefore, considering what kind of game this is, it fits very well. The original review was scored a seven, and I give the remaster the same. Ultimately, it is simply a good Japanese role-playing game...
Is there an audience for Toxic Commando? Yes, absolutely. For (approximately) £35, you get a lot of action and entertainment, provided you have three other friends to share the experience and who are on board with what you're getting into. It's yet another shooter in an already overcrowded genre and...
So overall, Midnight is a very solid expansion. Levelling remains exciting, gear acquisition feels less tedious, and Blizzard clearly understands what makes the game work. It's World of Warcraft at near its finest once again.
I wish Koei Tecmo had tightened up the controls and pace a bit, because it gets a bit annoying to wait 10 seconds for Mayu to slowly run through her routine of animations or be forced into a five-minute camera duel because you didn't have enough of the good film...
