Resident Evil 5: Lost in Nightmares & The Mercenaries Reunion DLC Review
25th February 2010 - No doubt Resident Evil has been around for a long time. In fact Resident Evil gets around in general; it’s been on almost every platform imaginable including the arcades and looks like staying around a while longer. The story is starting to get wound up in knots and...
Bioshock 2 360 Review
16th February 2010 - Back in 2007 Bioshock hit with nary a splash as people neither knew what to expect or what it was all about. A few months later Mass Effect was having a similar effect, both which became cult favorites as the story and artistic direction took games in a new direction. 2010...
Dante's Inferno 360 Review
4th February 2010 - At any other time in the history of video games, if I were told that a company was making The Divine Comedy into a no-holds-bared action game I would have laughed mercilessly and shuddered at the thought of playing it. But after a few promising clips at game expo’s, Dante’s...
Mass Effect 2 360 Review
4th February 2010 - BioWare’s Mass Effect 2 is an epic Space Opera of romance, adventure and exploration. It is dark, tense and full of suspense. It is, if you haven’t already heard, a much more streamlined version of its original self. I’ll try not to use the words ‘dummied down’ because, this...
Dark Void 360 Review
25th January 2010 - Dark Void's announcement was every sci-fi loving gamers dream; a great and unique sci-fi storyline mixed with a load of unique and rather interesting gameplay mechanics, with aliens. But the finished product was less than extravagant, giving gamers not what they were expecting,...
Magna Carta 2 360 Review
15th January 2010 - Magna Carta 2 is developed by Korean developer Softmax and distributed by Banpresto/Bandai Namco for the XBOX 360. It is a sequel to the 2005 Playstation 2 game Magna Carta: Tears of Blood though it does not continue story wise, similar to how each Final Fantasy game is...
Darksiders 360 Review
11th January 2010 - Darksiders is one of 2010s first releases, and the first game developed by Vigil games; a company founded by one of today’s leading comic book artists. The game feels like and shows extreme similarities to Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series in almost every aspect, and to sum it...
Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues 360 Review
Lego Indy, Lego Star wars, Lego Batman, Lego Rock band, Lego Harry Potter, Lego Racing, Lego Friends… The list goes on. Since the launch of the XBOX Lucas Arts and Travellers Tales have been bringing Lego adaptations of movie franchise to the masses. Why? Because Lego is cool, and who doesn’t want...
Dragon Age: Origins - Warden's Keep DLC 360 Review
If Bioware's Dragon Age wasn’t long enough, then the recent expansion isn't going to make it much longer. To be fair this is the second DLC for the game, that should otherwise have been included in retail. For those who have actually slugged through the game, the following may not be anything...
Tekken 6 360 Review
One of the most famous and best selling fighting games of all time, Tekken, finally brings its great blend of pick-up-and-play fighting fun and intense combo-based fighting style which appeals to veterans of the genre to a Microsoft console. This, the sixth main instalment in the series,...
Left 4 Dead 2 (Uncut Version) 360 Review
Zombies are now common place in the world of games as opposed to just movies. Many games are bowing down to the zombie craze, and Left 4 Dead, when released, was the most stand out one of them all. But now with the release of its sequel a year on; the aptly named Left 4 Dead 2, does it still...
The Saboteur 360 Review
No, not a video game adaption of Hitchcock’s masterpiece (that probably wouldn’t be very good anyway), but a WWII-set third person sandbox adventure game with stealth, action, fast-paced racing and slight RPG elements. Sound good, eh? Well before you jumping on the French Resistance band wagon,...
NBA 2K10 360 Review
As the case has been for several years now, 2K Sports have released their latest iteration of their highly successful basketball franchise. Does this year’s game improve enough on its predecessor to warrant a purchase from fans of the game? Read on to find out.
Gameplay
In terms of play...
Rogue Warrior 360 Review
Rogue Warrior is roughly based on the life and times of real life SEAL legend Richard Marcinko, well at least one particular (note; entirely fiction) mission of his. An intelligent blend of stealth and action put into a first person perspective makes the game a unique player in a time of generic...
Assassin's Creed II 360 Review
First it was Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad, running through 1191 Jerusalem on a mission between the league of Assassins and the ancient order of Templar, out to change history and rewrite the record books. In truth this was all played out in the mind of Desmond Miles, trapped in the future and hooked up...
