WWE '12 Review - Xbox 360

WWE ’12

Yukes have gone and done it - reinvented the tired wrestling genre. WWE 12 harks back to what made the wrestling games of years gone by so special, chunky controls, satisfying slams and slightly awkward backstage brawls. Read More …

Mercury Hg Review

Mercury Hg

Mercury, an early title for Sony’s PSP system, was a game built on nostalgia. Its mechanics took much from classic puzzle game Marble Madness and its simple premise seemed out of place next to complicated and thoroughly modern contemporaries. Read More …

The Fight

The Fight

At the start of The Fight, you’re confronted with a gruff, angry Danny Trejo who barks at you how to play the game in FMV. It’s strange, confusing and doesn’t really work, much like the game itself. Read More …

PlayStation Move Heroes

PlayStation Move Heroes

PlayStation Move Heroes is an average action game based on a strange crossover between Sony’s three main platforming franchises: Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper. Read More …

Motorstorm Apocalypse

Motorstorm Apocalypse

When the PlayStation 3 was first shown at E3 2005, one of the most impressive demos was for Motorstorm, an off-road racing game from British developer Evolution Studios. Read More …

Swarm Review

Swarm

There’s been something of a resurgence of difficult platforming games in recent years. From Megaman’s hardcore revival to indie darlings such as Splosion Man and Super Meat Boy, the masochistic gamer hasn’t been this happy for years. Read More …

Time Crisis: Razing Storm

Time Crisis: Razing Storm

Time Crisis: Razing Storm is a collection of three on-rails arcade light-gun games which utilise either the PlayStation Move or GunCon 3. It includes Razing Storm, Time Crisis 4 Arcade Edition and Deadstorm Pirates. Read More …

Portal 2 Review

Portal 2

Valve have done an incredible job in taking what was essentially a bonus add-on in the Orange Box game pack from a few years ago, and fleshing it out into its own incredible story and gaming world. Read More …

Little Big Planet 2 Review

Little Big Planet 2

Simply put, this game is a pure slice of gaming brilliance. It’s rare that you get to see a game that is void of violence and guns these days, and it’s almost unheard of to have a good one. Little Big Planet 2 is a shining example that gaming can be innocent, whilst being immersive and fun. Read More …

Virtua Tennis 4 Review

Virtua Tennis 4

I had forgotten how much of an arcade masterpiece the Virtua Tennis games could be. After picking up Virtua Tennis 4 (for a quick ten minute play through), I was still playing four hours later and couldn’t put the controller down. Read More …

Musiic Party: Rock The House Review

Musiic Party - Rock The House

Could the Guitar Hero series recently coming to a close mark the beginning of the end for music games? Or does the closure of the franchise open up a gap in the market that someone somewhere needs to fill? Read More …

Zumba Fitness Review

Zumba Fitness

Videogames are generally seen as a form of escape. Like film or literature, they are a portal to another world, usually one filled with adventure and fantast. But the emergence of motion control has expanded the market to games with a broader appeal - non-traditional titles that have more in common with software. Zumba is such a title. Read More …

Your Shape: Fitness Evolved Review

Fitness Evolved

There aren’t many fitness games that I can easily recommend; but Fitness Evolved takes a tired concept, slaps a motion sensor on it, and gives energy to the otherwise failing genre. Read More …

Dance Central Review

Dance Central - you too, can look this cool

Take the dance mat games of old, and mix them with the Kinect’s motion capturing hardware, and you have yourself Dance Central. You follow the moves on screen, trying to match them perfectly in order to achieve a higher score; the concept is very simple, but oh so very effective and so much fun. Read More …

Beyond Good & Evil HD Review

Beyond Good & Evil HD

When you think back on a game, what thoughts do you have? There are a lot that are generic and indescribable; linear roller-coaster shooters that hardly linger in the mind, sports games with so little difference that they all blur into one mess of mediocrity, adventure games in which the adventure is no more than firing bullets into enemies from a third-person perspective. Read More …

Kinect Adventures Review

kinect Adventures

The mini-game collection has had a second-wind since the industry went motion control crazy with the advent of the Wii in 2006. Now all developers’ ideas that were too thin to be stretched into a full game can be combined into a patchwork of partially-realised mechanics and ideas! Read More …

Rio Multiplayer Party Game Review

Rio: The Multiplayer Party Game

The party game genre is changing. They aren’t finished or failing, that is for sure; the Kinect, the Wii and Move have all secured the fact that party games will be a huge part of developers release lists for the foreseeable future. Read More …

WWE All Stars Review

WWE All Stars

Mixing the old with the new; is a formula that fans of WWE have been calling out for. Finally, in WWE Allstars THQ offers us just that. Anyone who knows what wrestling is will know what the format is for this game; oversized men beat the living hell out of each other, in order to achieve some sort of sense of self worth. Read More …

Crysis 2 Review

Crysis 2

Very few people got the pleasure of playing Crysis 1; a technically masterful game set on a beautiful free-roam island. The game required a super-computer for you to be able to play on it, which left many PC owners (including myself), feeling disappointed and upset that their feeble machine couldn’t run it. Read More …

Homefront Review

Homefront

The first person shooter genre is oversaturated with content. Look away for a second, and by the time you look back, another shooter will have sprung up from nowhere. The truth is shooters are becoming the second go to genre for the casual player, placed very closely after football games (Fifa we are looking at you.) Read More …

Dragon Age 2 Review

Dragon Age

Once again, developers Bioware bring you back to their fantasy world of Dragons, sorcery and swords. As a follow up to the 2009 cult hit Dragon Age: Origins, the sequel does a fantastic job of retaining the original games charm and adds a layer of shiny looking polish. Read More …

Killzone 3 Review

KIllzone nazi-esqu Hellghast

The third instalment of Guerrilla Games’ Killzone series, puts you straight back into the action, taking control of the gruff Sergeant Sevchenko (the same fairly one dimensional character from the first two games). Read More …
