Getting your first Tier 2 ship does feel good, and it handles like a dream.

Mass Effect 2 stands out as not only one of the best sci-fi action titles around, it’s one of the best games ever made, period. Accomplished enough to rub shoulders with the likes of Star Wars and Star Trek in the annals of sci-fi history, Mass Effect 2 is simply...

The Saboteur can be both addictive and engaging, but also rather stale, all at the same time. Serious issues such as the nature of a resistance campaign, terror tactics, victory at all costs, etc… are fairly buried underneath the game’s lighter tones. Still, it’s in line with Pandemic’s other works...

DiRT 2 was superlative stuff on Xbox 360 and PS3, and on PC it remains one of the most comprehensive and utterly playable off-road racing game you can buy. The overall racing experience is never anything but totally pleasurable, the depth and range of challenges on offer lending masses of...

Assassin’s Creed II is something altogether unique in its uninhibited size and wealth of ambition, few games managing to measure up in terms of depth and detail. The development team at Ubisoft Montreal has gone far beyond what we’d normally anticipate from a sequel too, delivering not only an unreservedly...

All in all, Dragon age is a triple A dark fantasy bonanza. PC gamers will want to hear more about the modding community, and whilst Bioware have released developer grade tools, it’s going to take a while before things really get going. What kind of content will be released is...

Whichever you prefer, playing versus with friends or cooperatively against the improved Director, there is almost no fault to Left 4 Dead 2. Yes, Rochelle turned out to be a pretty boring character, and yes, don’t expect to enjoy playing it alone with bots. This is not a single player...

As a whole, MW2 is spectacular in all the right areas; building and refining on the most solid of bases. And although its political heart might not be in the ‘right’ place, at the very least it might make a few people think rather than skim through on muscle memory...

For fans of loot hunting and a cooperative multiplayer experience, Borderlands will unquestionably steal their soul. Their days will be wrapped around figuring out how to put more time into Borderlands and trying to find out who they can ultimately trust as a teammate.

Tropico 3 is available on PC and 360. Whilst there are no major differences between versions, city management games like this are another genre that may not gel too well on consoles when it comes to handling. If you’re considering getting the 360 version, stay tuned for our 360 review...

Need For Speed Shift does exactly what it is made for: giving any driver the experience they want in a racing game. Want to just race some cars in various tiers on easy? Great. What to turn off assistance and live on the dangerous side? Have fun. Want to change...

Involving, immersive and well-balanced, Dragon Rising is brutally challenging but seldom unfair. Despite occasional AI tics and the odd glitch, Codemasters’ tough military shooter will compel and entertain in equal measure. Oh, and frustrate at times too. Be forewarned that a great deal of patience is an essential prerequisite for...
