LEGO The Hobbit
How do you follow a story as epic as the Lord of the Rings? With great difficulty it seems, as focusing on the prequel, The Hobbit, has turned into something of a love and hate relationship. While fans are excited to see more of Middle-earth there are justifiable questions about...
Titanfall
Nobody can argue with Titanfall’s minute-to-minute gameplay. It’s a wonderful blend of verticality and brilliantly frenetic combat, and is sure to be the new standard of awesome when it comes to competitive multiplayer shooters. What you can argue with is the package as a whole, which could be described as...
Kinect Sports Rivals
Wii Sports set a high bar. Combining accessibility with the novelty of motion controls, it enlivened millions of family evenings across the world. Even my house got temporarily caught up in Wii Sports-mania, thanks to my wife Ruth. No mean feat considering she couldn’t give a crap about games.
On paper, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes sounds like an elaborate demo. In reality, it's a bigger game than it initially seems. Spend five hours with the game, and you'll be lucky if your completion is even nearing 25%. Play for eight or more, and you'll still be wringing...
Dark Souls II
I awaken, face down, on a stone slab. My clothes are tattered and encrusted with blood, my memory is hazy. Small creatures scatter in my wake as I stumble towards the only source of light up ahead. An ominous set of footprints lead up to a hulking, one-eyed creature but...
Way back in 2002, a small group of boys set out on a quest in the idyllic mountain town of South Park to return a copy of Back Door Sluts 9 to their local video shop, avoiding a group of pissed off sixth graders along the way. That early episode...
A disappointing end to a promising tale, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is a turgid and inconsistent sequel that fails to live up to its forebear.
What at first seems like a bizarre experiment actually turns out to be an accomplished and brilliantly entertaining multiplayer shooter. Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare might not manage to hold your attention for more than a few hours, but while it does, you can't fail to have a blast. Suitable...
Thief
Despite its slow and dreary start, Thief builds to deliver an experience that most stealth fans will lap up. However, most Thief fans will mourn the loss of the reboot’s freedom and choice. That said, Thief is ultimately a game that delivers epic highs and mediocre lows, and for the...
Strider
I’m old enough to remember Strider when it first hit consoles in 1989. The SEGA Mega Drive version blew my mind. It had a stunning futuristic aesthetic, a pumping techno soundtrack and an acrobatic ninja hero, making it a world away from the cutesy platformers of the time. I loved...
The short version of this Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII review is this: If you haven’t played FFXIII or FFXIII-2 then don’t bother with this. Frankly the storyline is likely to be a perplexing quagmire even for those who are au fait with the series, so newcomers would be best...
Rayman Legends
It’s almost impossible not to smile while playing Rayman Legends. Whether you’re leaping, floating and slapping your way through Michel Ancel’s sumptuous 2D platformer in single-player or co-op, there’s a kind of madcap, anarchic and joyful exuberance to it that’s undeniable. It’ll make you grin from ear to ear.
