Split/Second
There’s no doubt about it, Split/Second is a finely balanced, visually stunning racer that loves the brown stuff hitting the fan. It’s impossible to play the game without feeling cool when you evade the lure of an explosion, or wreck five opponents by dumping a boulder in their way. Finally...
Alpha Protocol
Obsidian has clearly got the ability to produce really superb AAA titles but seems to lack the clout of their rival Bioware in terms of being able to say when a game is ready or not. The tragedy of Alpha Protocol is that, hidden behind the mass of technical failings...
Blur
All of these pieces combined, once again, leaves us with an odd result. Aptly named, Blur tries to unclear the line between kart and sim, but in the process may leave many racing enthusiasts of both sorts uncomfortable. The large number of options available does not take into account the...
It’s flawed in places, but this is still a game that expertly demonstrates to the rest of the gaming world why Capcom are still considered the kings of the fighting genre. It’s no incremental upgrade and brings more than just character balancing to the table, managing to improve, fix and...
Mount & Blade: Warband
It’s like we said in our preview - Warband is a huge improvement over the original game, but we’d have to wait for a sequel in order to see anything really new and exciting (aside from multiplayer I guess)… the only problem is though, is that this IS the sequel,...
Metro 2033
As you transport the aforementioned child to back to his mother, Metro 2033’s horrifying vision begins to take over. The child sees the sky for the first time, claiming he’ll be famous now he’s witnessed the fabled phenomenon. His mother, grateful for his return, offers bullets as a reward. Do...
Just Cause 2
For all its slight foibles, Just Cause 2 is hugely entertaining, and despite the creeping feeling of repetition beginning to set in as you destroy your 500th fuel tank or collect your 1000th item, there’s more than enough freedom to pull off ludicrous stunts and experiment with your weapons, vehicles,...
Ultimately, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is one of the best FPS titles currently available. Single-player might not be exceptionally heavyweight, but it manages to mostly push all the right buttons. It’s multiplayer where the real substance lies though and it’s there that you’ll find that BF:BC2 offers real long term...
Aliens vs. Predator
You won’t be buying AvP for its single-player though, and if you are you may find yourself sorely disappointed. Rebellion has built AvP around its multiplayer, which is both well-constructed and surprisingly well-balanced. Each species comes with its own unique advantages and shortcomings, and will take some time to master,...
BioShock 2
Bioshock 2 is an admirable experience, one that doesn’t compare to the narrative of its predecessor, but carries forth the fun gameplay that was originally inspired some two years ago. The addition of multiplayer gives us all the more reason to keep playing after completing the 13-15 hour campaign, though...
