Fuse review
Have you ever sat and watched a movie you couldn’t really get into, but you watched it anyway because you were bored? That’s exactly how Fuse is. The game attempts to use the same old “merc gets a heart” formula, which can be an okay idea at times, but without a very strong story behind it the game usually flops.
Metro: Last Light review
When the echoes of the past have you in their grip, clawing your way out seems to be the only option. Shadows that are illuminated by lighting bolts don’t just seem to move, they do move. Ghostly images of past lives litter the world and you sense, if not outright feel, their chilled hands clinging to you in search of warmth. These are just a few of the haunting examples you will stumble across in Metro: Last Light. Even though it’s a direct sequel of Metro 2033, Last Light stands as it’s own game.
Dead Island: Riptide review
Riptide is an action survival game and the second installment of the Dead Island franchise. Can Dead Island right its wrongs and produce a hit with gamers or will it fall flat on its face again?
Viking 360 Macro controller review
Many online gamers think that a modded controller is mainly just a rapid fire controller. Hold down the trigger and you’ll be able to hit any cap on semi-automatic weapons without fail. They would be right, but they also would be missing a larger part of what modded controllers can be.
Injustice: Gods Among Us review
The last time a game with DC comic book characters met up with Mortal Kombat influence, we were subjected to a rather dull, boring, and mainly bullshit game. Understandably it was an attempt to bring DC into the fighting game genre. We’ve had Marvel based fighting games for a long time, but any foray into the DC universe is met with a resounding failure. The more recent attempts at a DC universe game presence, such as the Batman: Arkham series seems to have put new life into a tired idea. What we get, is a rather pleasant surprise with NetherRealm Studios’ Injustice: Gods Among Us.
Bioshock Infinite review
To fully understand and appreciate Irrational Games’ Bioshock Infinite it helps to have a basic understanding of alternate realities. The theory that at any point in time there are an infinite amount of parallel realities that can seem exactly the same or completely different. In one world you could be the opposite sex, you might never have been born, you might have children or have none.
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Review
The third in the long running series of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games has arrived in the west. Can it surpass previous games and become the best Naruto game to date?
Gears of War: Judgment review
Gears of War: Judgment attempted to follow in the highly praised footsteps of its predecessors, but merely stumbled along behind it. Epic, partnering with People Can Fly, spent a lot of time tweaking the game so it would debut as a fresh idea to the series. The result was a game that felt too much like Gears to be its own unique title, with just a few too many tweaks that left it falling flat. The core elements of the Gears series are still there. High powered weapons, blood thirsty monsters, gore, death, and war. The main differences lie in the direction the game tried to take.
Tomb Raider review
Franchise reboots are always controversial. Many gamers don’t want to see their favorite games ruined by a new title. Others think the games are stale and need to come at a new angle. The unfortunate reality is that many reboots end up hurting a series rather than helping. Crystal Dynamics hit the nail on the head.
Tritton AX 180 Gears of War 3 headset review
The Gears of War version of the Tritton AX 180 is a professional gaming headset for the Xbox 360 console. For a retail price of £40, is a pair worth the money?
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Review
There are some games that just scream fun. Whether it’s a racing game to blister your friends on the track, tear through opponents in some gory fighting games, or popping domes in online shooters, these games are all pure enjoyment. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance can add itself among them.
Borderlands 2 Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt Review
We always wanted to know about Sir Hammerlock. He seemed quite eccentric, even from the start of Borderlands 2. With the addition of the Big Game Hunt DLC, you get plenty of opportunity to learn more about him, but unfortunately he becomes rather dull very fast. Where he was interesting in the full game, his dialogue in the DLC lacks the enjoyable aspect you get from the usual missions. His posh gentleman act gets on your nerves since it really serves no point except to antagonize the main villain.
Borderlands 2 Captain Scarlett And Her Pirate’s Booty: DLC Review
Gearbox Software is well-known for it’s DLC, especially with the Borderlands series. Borderlands 1 had several good add-ons, including The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. Each is lengthy and well executed and Captain Scarlett is no exception.
LEGO The Lord of the Rings: Review
Hitman: Absolution Review
There are few truly good stealth and assassination games out there in the virtual world – Hitman is one of them. New or old to the series, nothing can take the place of actually being Agent 47.
Turtle Beach Ear Force X31 review
The Turtle Beach Ear Force X31′s are a must buy for any Xbox gamer. With a superior sound quality that is a class above anything else we have tried, this headset will make you feel like you have the advantage over your opponent. However, it does have some flaws though.
Dead Space 3 Review
If you are new to the dead series you have definitely been missing out on the past installments. If you aren’t new then you know exactly what we are talking about. It goes to show that most of us can agree that the DS series is not an experience to be missed out on, but what about the newly released Dead Space 3? How well does DS3 break the surface considering its reputation?
Of Orcs & Men review
Of Orcs and Men is a fantasy/RPG with a heavy influence taken from the classics of the genre, such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Now being developed by two indie studios (Cyanide Studios and Spiders Game) Of Orcs and Men shows all the promise but never really takes off. Saying that, this is a massive step in the right direction for indie developers hoping to release games across multiple platforms.
Devil May Cry review
Those of you who have come to know and love Dante for his witty remarks and clever comebacks are in for a treat. Our favorite demon angel hybrid is back in full force with combos and style in this fresh hack and slash reboot.
The Walking Dead: The Game – Episode 4 review
The Walking Dead: The Game is a point and click adventure, set in an apocalyptic world of despair, desperation and the dead.
Worms Collection review
The Worms collection it’s made up from 3 of the latest games, bundles onto one disk with 6 DLC packs added for your worming pleasure. A nice little package but is this 17 year old franchise still relevant and playable today.
The Walking Dead: The Game – Episode 3 review
The Walking Dead: The Game is a point and click adventure, set in an apocalyptic world of despair, desperation and the dead.
Darksiders 2 review
A past of decent gameplay now being put to good use. Darksiders 2 comes in full force correcting everything it could while keeping that third-person charm we know and love.
Catherine Review
Catherine is the only game that brings puzzles and sex demons together in unique harmony.
SSX review
SSX comes to us from a long history of snowboarding games on many different consoles and handhelds over the years. A new release may be just what SSX fans were craving all this time.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine review
A third person action game based upon to Warhammer 40,000 franchise by Games Workshop, you play as the Ultramarines as they try to stop the mass invasion of Orks on the planet Graia. Can the Ultramarines overcome the Orks and take back planet Graia or do they get over run by green skins?
Rage review
Once known to be the king of First Person Shooter, id software released its new IP on October 6, 2011. Recent games such as Fallout and Borderlands are direct comparison Rage as they’re all post apocalypse. So does this new IP manage to make itself king of the wasteland, or does it only just manage to survive?
Limbo review
Usually games take the fundamentals such as gameplay, visuals, and the story, and complicate them for added value. Limbo is a game that proved a lot of potential for indie games by doing the opposite. It was a hit for XBLA, PS3, and PC as a platforming puzzle game. Though it doesn’t seem like much, the more you play the more you enjoy it. With an aura that few have done before, not much can go wrong while you’re in Limbo.
Dead Space 2 review
Being a sequel to a known series, dead space 2 proves to be an exciting ride that no other game has replicated. A unique nail biting thriller like this cannot go the same route as its predecessor. It kept the good, lost the bad, and left only the sweet and scary candy center for the necromorphs to gnaw on.
