Everything about Modern Warfare 2 screams larger than life. Over 10,000 retail outlets across the US held midnight releases to meet demand, and Activision announced first-day sales of approximately 4.7 million units in North America and the UK alone, with an opening of $310 million. Riding in on a massive...
Borderlands
Successfully fusing two genres into a whole that is greater than its component pieces is tricky business. The balance of yin and yang that will produce a successful hybrid is going to be different for every game. Borderlands isn't the first game to blend shooting with character progression systems familiar...
The purpose of games has been a hotly debated topic in recent years. Some argue that they are created to provide fun times, whilst others argue they are created as an art form, or even to engage an emotional response. Operation Flashpoint falls somewhere in the grey area. A realistic...
As Ant and Dec once sang – lets get read to rumble! Of course that same song also included the dubious lyric “watch us wreck the mic – psyche” so it can't have been all good. I appear to be going off on a tangent here, but anyone that has...
Halo 3: ODST
Microsoft’s flagship franchise, Halo, is a franchise that really needs no introduction... usually. This isn’t your traditional Halo title though and the naysayers that claimed Bungie couldn’t pull off a Halo title without the super soldier Master Chief will be eating their hats for years to come. That’s right, Bungie’s...
Need for Speed: Shift
The Need for Speed series has always styled itself on the seedier side of racing, with underground races, plenty of cops and enough customisation for you to pimp your car to the sun and back (though sadly no fluffy dice). The latest instalment has decided to do away with all...
Colin McRae: Dirt 2
Codemasters kicked off their racing revolution two years ago with the well received and foundation setting Dirt. A lot has changed since then and the critically acclaimed EGO Engine has gone through many iterations and improvements – some that we saw in GRID – on the way to where it...
The Beatles: Rock Band
British rockers, The Beatles, are true testaments to the phrase that "music is timeless." 49 years ago, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr formed The Fab Four in Liverpool, England and along with it changed the face of music for years to come. Never really sticking to...
It's a tricky thing when green-lighting a sequel that the original development team won't be around for. This goes for any medium, but maybe most importantly for a video game. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 has fallen into this trap, but only slightly. With original developer Raven Software too busy working...
Mini Ninjas
It would certainly have taken quite a leap of imagination to think that a cute game about tiny martial artists would have been next up for the makers of the compelling and violent Hitman series. No one can doubt the quality that Hitman carries, so surely it would not be...
Section 8
The United States Army used to have "section 8" discharges for those who were deemed mentally unfit for duty. TimeGate's new multiplayer-centric sci-fi shooter borrows its name from this no-longer used regulation. Players will join forces with the United States Imperial Forces 8th Armored Infantry, a group of troopers who...
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Comic book tie-ins and Batman games in particular have always come in for a rough ride. Perhaps it is because the quality of the licence has never really carried over into games, or maybe it is because one of comics most intriguing characters has always just been thrown into generic...
