Latest Reviews
Probably too difficult for children, and not engaging enough for adults, it’s difficult to see who EA are trying to cater for (especially when footage of the PS1 game is shown after the credits, reminding players how fun the titles can be). For fans of the series, I suggest you...
Virtua Tennis 4
You’d probably think I hate Virtua Tennis after reading this review. That’s far from the truth, I’ve sunk many hours into the series since its inception in 1999. There’s just something not quite right about this iteration. Keeping a series fresh is undoubtedly difficult, but Virtua Tennis has taken a...
F.E.A.R. 3
Much of F.E.A.R 3 is commendable then, but ultimately a lack of polish and genuine investment in the campaign sees it fall a distance short of full potential. It’s the flipside of most modern console shooters in that it’s a supremely capable and entertaining engine in search of narrative content...
Dungeon Siege III
Dungeon Siege III falls victim to its lack of ambition. With a little extra guts, the developers could have installed an engaging narrative, memorable characters and an online component that would prolong the title’s life. Instead, what we have is an emotionless, unrewarding journey that shies away from doing anything...
Alice: Madness Returns
Alice: Madness Returns may not win awards for genre innovation, but it’s the most darkly fun and gloriously batty game I’ve played since Psychonauts. I can’t think of any higher praise. I’ve now come to the end, so I’ll stop.
Duke Nukem Forever
Duke Nukem Forever will not be winning any awards come year’s end, unless they’re ironic. I expect to see many reviewers really slam the game, due to the dated graphics, unnecessary frustration, occasionally schizophrenic design and having waited over a decade for just another fun FPS. There are lots of...
Sadly, this great mode feels somewhat wasted given the severity of the game’s problems and that’s really a running theme throughout. Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is a missed opportunity that often shows hints of being a high quality product but it doesn’t really deliver on its promises. With its derivative...
What you really want to know though is - is it worth buying? We’d say yes. The campaign is a decent length, and there’s stuff in place to encourage re-plays. Ruin needs some work done to it, but Infestation has plenty to offer as well. In terms of value, this...
L.A. Noire
The bottom line here is that you should play L.A. Noire. It’s engaging, thoughtful, mature and currently one of a kind. Unless you’re the type who only looks for quick, dumb action from their video games I’d recommend this to just about anyone. A serious contender for game of the...
Dirt 3
Whatever the answer to that question, it’s excellent, and comes highly recommended.
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...
