Saints Row 2
It’s coarse and shouldn’t be funny, but Septic Avenger is reckless, silly fun.
However, if we look beyond the politics I must say that as a stand-alone squad shooter it’s a solid game if slightly unremarkable. If World War 2 is your thing then sure, go for it. However, you might want to wait and see how COD5 fairs and make your choice...
For all the above criticisms, there is something strangely compelling about Mercs 2, but I suspect that’s the psychological pull of an open-world map with lots of untapped activities rather than anything more substantial. As soon as you realise that each of those glowing dots inevitably leads to the same...
Spore
Without the creation / sharing feature the game fails to hold much substance. It’s a broad scope of what could have been possible. For the hardcore gamer, you’ll find little to hold you. Spore is a game to delve into over an extended period of time. It’s a game to...
Devil May Cry 4
Aside from ‘buying’ the run ability – it would have to be slapping the demon frog boss around. Yeah that’s right I said demon frog boss.
Alone in the Dark
The game is on the cusp of greatness. It’s got plenty of unique touches and tells a cracking story. As a game, one that must be controlled and manipulated according to the player’s wish, it fails. It’s abysmal. It really is a hashed creation. Alone in the Dark has attempted...
Samurai Warriors 2
If you liked Samurai Warriors, then you’ll like number 2. If you liked any of the Dynasty Warriors titles then again, you’ll enjoy this. If the developers were hoping to bring in new fans , then they failed. The game’s outdated and It shouldn’t have reached the PC, definitely not...
Sins of a Solar Empire
So along comes Sins of a Solar Empire, looking to fill up that black hole with a meaty asteroid of RTS gameplay.
The Incredible Hulk
Perhaps this is due to the game being rushed out to coincide with the film’s release, but whatever the reasoning behind it, The Incredible Hulk just doesn’t quite seem finished. There is undoubtedly fun to be had, leaping around the city causing all manner of destructive mayhem, but it’s ultimately...
Grand Theft Auto IV
h this, and don’t have the game, we appreciate it, but seriously, just go buy it already.
UEFA Euro 2008
UEFA Euro 2008 is another step in the right direction for the EA brand of football. If you didn’t grab FIFA 08, or are heavily invested into this year’s tournament, then the game is well worth a shot. The refined on field play and the expansions to the Captain Your...
Despite the odd pleasing moment, Turning Point is never in danger of being a good game. Any positive aspects are overshadowed by the sluggish game engine, the last-gen visuals and cheap design decisions. It feels conspicuously padded out, with completely unnecessary platform sections adding a crucial 60 seconds of play...
