Latest Reviews
I think it is fair to say that the original Kane and Lynch hardly set the world alight. After all of the hype, the game failed to deliver on its initial promise and, even though it provided some solid entertainment and a fantastically unique multiplayer experience, it could well have...
Singularity
The concept of time travel has made for a number of great films and books, but far fewer truly memorable games. There are titles that have dabbled with the idea to good effect, such as Prince of Persia, but for the full blown effect you would have to look at...
Toy Story 3
Toy Story is a franchise that needs no real introduction, as the films have delighted kids for years now and even kept grumbling adults quiet too – it's that rare breed of animation that can appease both. With a mix of charm, humour and ridiculousness on offer, it seems obvious...
Oh my, is it annual update time again? Surely not or my alarm would have gone off by now. Ah, it seems it is indeed the start of the deluge with the traditional forerunner being of the golfing variety. As ever you will be hard pressed to see what changes...
Naughty Bear
There seem to be very few surprises left in the gaming industry, so when a novel idea does come along, people generally sit up and take notice. So the idea of a slightly unhinged, fluffy teddy bear running amok and killing off his brethren is so off the cuff that...
Green Day: Rock Band
Make no mistake, the multicoloured bricks are the undisputed stars of the Rock Band series. This latest venture might have stroppy trio, Green Day, prancing around in the background and making a lot of noise, but they’re just there to support the main act: the scrolling bricks. Love thy coloured...
Alpha Protocol
Cult games are a weird phenomenon in the games industry. It’s that breed of game that won’t necessarily sell amazingly well or even score highly in terms of a Metacritic score, but they’re games that offer something so fresh and so original, that they will no doubt have their devout...
Red Dead Redemption
Taking a barren wasteland of dust and wannabe outlaws and turning it into an open-world action-adventure title on the same level as Rockstar’s other open-world titles is no easy feat. Red Dead Redemption is a Wild West adventure title like no other though. Granted, it did face the trials and...
Split/Second
Racing games tend to fall into two categories; either the hardcore simulation or the arcade style thrill ride. This game is unashamedly in the latter category and makes no secret of the fact that it is about big dumb fun and plenty of explosions. Think of it as the Michael...
NieR
The quality of the work coming out of Square Enix seems to have taken a dip significantly in recent years, with even the mighty Final Fantasy succeeding in polarising opinions, not to mention a number of other recent misfires. It is hardly the end of an empire, but it does...
Say what you want about Ubisoft Montreal’s attempted reboot of the Prince of Persia franchise in 2008, but even the most staunch protestors can’t take away that it was one of the most charming and aesthetically pleasing games of that year. Devoid of challenge, maybe, but it was still one...
Iron Man 2
This is usually the part of the review where I partake in a bit of enjoyable banter, maybe drop a wise crack about the whole movie tie-in phenomenon. Maybe poke a bit of fun at comic book games. Heck, I could even spend some time wondering how a man in...
