• The Fight

  09 Jun 2011

  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.

• Portal 2 Review

  06 Jun 2011

  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.

  

• Little Big Planet 2 Review

  02 Jun 2011

  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.

  

• Virtua Tennis 4 Review

  13 May 2011

  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.

• Mass Effect 2 Review

  17 Jan 2011

  The best modern role-playing games aren’t about collecting loot or garnering experience points. Instead they are exercises in world-building, narrative and characterisation. There are still old-school PC stalwarts, but games like Mass Effect embody the true meaning of the term role-playing: you become a character and choose their paths in life.

  

• Sports Champions Review

  14 Sep 2010

  For every new piece of hardware there’s the proof of concept. A game that’s not necessarily the killer-app, but is a showpiece for how it works and what it can do. It’s not an enviable job and often the pressure of emphasising the hardware negatively affects the overall quality of the game.
