Review: Front Mission – Evolved
19th October 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
Whilst a relatively unknown brand here in the West, the Front Mission series of games are huge in the land of the rising sun. With many of the games being released only in Japan, for many of us this is the first taste of what the games are all about. And in a nutshell, what they are about is huge, gigantic mechs, dubbed ‘wanzers’ of all things. Yes, that’s right...

The dark has always been a source of fear for many people, and in Alan Wake – a game based around fear of the dark - it is your deadliest enemy. In this 3rd person horror game, you play the role of Alan Wake, a novelist who hasn’t put pen to paper for over two years.

Lips: Party Classics
10th March 2010 | 0 comments | 2 people like this
It’s karaoke at its finest, this. The vast majority of these 40 songs are guaranteed to get people up and singing, and what we have here is a collection of party favourites. The only downside to this game is that it doesn’t come bundled with a microphone – you’ll need to buy it separately – but as far as the choice of songs goes, you can’t really go wrong if...

Bioshock 2 review
25th February 2010 | 2 comments | 1 person likes this
All you budding deep seas divers may wish to stop reading now. If Bioshock 2 is anything to go by, life under the ocean waves isn’t quite the tranquil and peaceful place you may at first believe it to be. Forget sharks and poisonous jelly fish, they are small fry compared to the dangers that await you in the doomed underwater city of Rapture – a dystopian place that is...

Darksiders – welcome to hell
18th January 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
It’s the end of the world, and the Four Horsemen are missing. This is the premise for the beginning of Darksiders, a game that puts you in the boots of War, one of the aforementioned horsemen. With influences from a wide variety of games that have come and gone before it, there is nothing particularly original about this post-apocalyptic action slash-‘em-up, but if you are looking for a good old...

Assassin’s Creed II
30th November 2009 | 1 comments | 1 person likes this
The first Assassin’s Creed was a phenomenal hit on the Xbox 360 when it was released a few years ago now. Whilst praised by many for its technical excellence, with outstanding graphics and innovative game play that focused on free running along the roofs of buildings and performing incredible feats as you jumped and cart wheeled across the landscape, a few people criticised it for being a bit of a...

Lips: Number One Hits
30th October 2009 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
No matter if you’re a singing sensation destined for the spotlight and a recording contract or, like myself, simply tone deaf yet living a life of constant harmonic denial, there’s plenty of fun to be had with Lips: Number One Hits. Granted, sitting at home by yourself warbling along to Lady GaGa may hold limited appeal, but get a few mates together and the game takes a whole new lease...
