    Modern Warfare 3: A Review

    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...

    Gears Of War 3: A Review

    I love a good cliché. Don’t you? The way a whole subject or personality is summed up one easy-to-notice bite and damages everything it was trying so hard to cultivate in its own style.
    Things like grumpy commuters, Hollywood hot-shots like Charlie Sheen or moaning about not having the heart to dump someone even though you’re not that into them anymore. So cute.

    Now, finally, The Book Of Mormon is coming to the West End, I’ve been told.

    This should have been a Medal Of Honor review, don’t tell EA. It’s no one’s fault but my own, I knew I’d love Minecraft, I read the hype, I’ve seen the YouTube videos. I knew it would be addictive. It is.
    But a game about Mining? ‘Are you mental, Mister?’ I can hear you yelling down your laptop. Even if you’re not. Yes, a game about mining without a Chilean in...

    Eurogamer Expo 2010 – Disappointing

    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...
