Resident Evil Revelations: A Review
5th March | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Zombies! Only joking. Resident Evil doesn’t do zombies anymore, not entirely. Ever since Resident Evil 4 in 2005, the classic zombie-reinvigorating action survival horror franchise has played down the living dead in favour of ‘infected’ people. And monsters.
In Resident Evil Revelations Jill Valentine actually uses the words ‘monster’, ‘infected’ and ‘zombie’ during the course of her dialogue. Honestly, I don’t know if I recognise this Resident Evil thing anymore.
Nah, of... -
Modern Warfare 3: A Review
6th January | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Here’s what I love about video games sequels: innovation. Gaming is perhaps in a unique position amongst modern entertainment in that it can improve on previous incarnations to everyone’s delight.
The Call Of Duty series has done this a lot, evolving the realistic modern shooter series beyond praise. Until recently.
Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is an annoying thing to keep on typing out or reading, so let’s call it MW3... -
Forza 4: A Review

Cars. They’ve never really interested me. Much to the disappointment of my dad, my science teachers and the legacy of my gender, the geek side of me won through leaving cars and their engines in the same bucket as football, the army, page three girls and heavy drinking.
Car games, then, are nowhere to be found on my gaming shelves, not ones like Forza 4, anyway. Titles like Burnout Paradise of... -
The Rise and Fall of Charlie Brooker

It’s hard to see your heroes turn into background noise. I’m talking about Charlie Brooker here; going from a lauded cult mouthpiece of cunning, wit, irreverent humour and brilliant and articulate observation to just a man on TV.
Should I blame Connie Huq? Or should I shut up and let Brooker get on with it? Well, no, I won't actually shut up.
When I was about 17, a friend introduced me to... -
Eurogamer Expo 2010 – Disappointing
6th October 2010 | 1 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
The videogame industry is one of the most lucrative entertainment industries on the planet. Every year it excels with new technology and innovation and has garnered millions of eager fans in the UK.
So why was the 2010 Eurogamer Expo, Britain’s biggest videogame expo, such a massive disappointment?
I’ll tell you why; most of the games were brutish shooters, all clones of each other in most respects. There was also a woeful... -
Left 4 Dead 2 for zombie virgins
11th December 2009 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
The trouble with really excellent video games is convincing people they're really good. I'll get this out the way first; Left 4 Dead 2 is an excellent video game. But I know how to work a first person shooter and I'm used to shooting video game zombies. My thumbs are honed to the X and Y axis with the fine tuning of my thousands of years of human evolution-fuelled muscle...
