Fuse review

Fuse box

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

MetroLastLight

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

Dead Island Riptide

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?

kingston hyperx 10th anniversary

We take a look at the HyperX 10th Anniversary Edition RAM module, the 4GB to be precise. Kingston as a company have always been reliable and one of the most common brands of RAM to find in any custom setup and with these modules it’s not surprising why.

100 Floors Escape review

The Floor Escape

Escape from… ehhh… 55 floors?

The name of the game is to solve puzzles to open the elevator so that you can get to the next floor.

Thomas Was Alone review

Thomas Was Alone

Thomas Was Alone is a simplistic and charming indie game with a distinctive concept. The story is based on a range of shapes with unique personalities that all behave differently. The shapes all have their own names but don’t talk, instead the game is narrated throughout.

Injustice: Gods Among Us review

INJUSTICE_11

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.

Fire Emblem Awakening review

fe-awakening

The Fire Emblem series has never been big in the west, often being overshadowed by other titles. The series has always kept a small but dedicated audience, but left everyone else behind. Fire Emblem Awakening hopes to fix this by being the most fine-tuned Fire Emblem game to date. And as it stands, Fire Emblem Awakening might be one of the best RPG’s in recent years.  

Lazors review

Lasers are useful little things, they can improve your vision, read disks, make head shots a doddle and most importantly help make fun mobile games. But will this laser bouncing romp dazzle you?

Gears of War: Judgment review

Judgment

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.

Dead Space 3 Review

dead_space_3_game-wide-1024x640

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?

Silent Hill review

250px-Silent_Hill_video_game_cover

Many say that the old Silent Hills are the best. We go a short distance back in time and take a look at the original Silent Hill on PS1, but has it aged like a fine wine or will you whine at how it’s aged.
