UFC Undisputed 3
Punching and kicking faces has never been more popular. Not lately anyway. And with MMA and by extension the UFC brand now part of the everyday cultural lexicon and zeitgeist, the UFC Undisputed series is the daddy of virtual mixed martial arts. There's no disputing that. Yet, having broken the...
What do you want from a game? Do you favour innovation and ambition over quality and craftsmanship? Or would you rather invest in games that play it safe instead of reaching for the stars and falling short? Think it over. Your opinion of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning will largely depend...
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Final Fantasy XIII was a pretty terrible RPG, which is to say that while it had beautiful graphics, a decent story and some interesting set pieces, it came up lacking in the sense of exploration, subtlety and invention that previous titles in the series have become known for. Players were...
SoulCalibur V
You know the score. A tale of swords and souls, eternally retold and all that. And having been rescued from the jaws of retirement by vocal fans, Soul Calibur is back for a fifth instalment, bringing its own brand of clashing steel, historical pomp and flashy pyrotechnics kicking and screaming...
Apparently there is a war in the north, so it’s time for us northern folk to team up and show those soft, southern lightweights how to rumble. Hold on, it seems that this particular war is in fact taking place in the fictional confines of Middle-earth – rather than across...
Saints Row: The Third
Watching the Saints Row franchise grow over the years has been an interesting and fascinating series of events, somewhat akin to watching Gary Busey evolve from competent actor with a bright future to mad-as-a-hatter crazy-ass-motherfucker. Ironic he should appear in Saints Row 2’s promotional material then! While the original Saints...
Rayman Origins
Rayman Origins is massive. Really massive. That's why it's not an episodic XBLA game as originally intended, but a full-blooded retail disc release instead, with all of the intrinsic value that entails. A result of Ubisoft's remarkable UbiART Framework, Rayman is also a deceptively cute game, which might look all...
How do you review a memory? A decade has passed since the original black brick of doom, or Xbox if you like, launched across the world, bringing with it an equal measure of ridicule and intrigue. It soon emerged that one of the first games to be released on the...
Fusing a racing game with a Hollywood blockbuster-grade story is always going to be a hard sell. When have you ever known it to be pulled off in a really convincing and memorable way? Never. And if it has, then it can't have been particularly good, because we can't remember...
It looks like old Ezio's been through quite a lot since the end of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. After all, he has a grey beard now, which as everyone knows is the universal indicator of old age. But while the master assassin finds himself on new stomping grounds in Constantinople, Desmond...
When tasked with reviewing an entertainment juggernaut like the Call of Duty series, it's difficult to win. If you lavish too much praise on the game then you are accused of being a mere fanboy, or worse, of being at the beck and call of Activision’s evil empire (note: actual...
Sonic Generations
The blue blur is back, and we’re not talking about the police lights in your rear view mirror as you try and escape with all those copies of MW3, you naughty scamp. No, we are of course referring to everyone’s favourite porcupine alternative, Sonic the Hedgehog. To say it has...
