    Left 4 Dead 2 - Preview
    I’ve been meaning to type this up for a few weeks now as we actually had a good play of L4D2 at the Eurogamer Expo in London. I finally figured that if I don’t write up the review of our playtest now then I’ll never get it done, especially as Modern Warfare 2 is now asking me to pick it up and play. During the course of the Expo we had the opportunity...

    King of Fighters XII Reviewed
    I love retro games. A good feeling washes over me when I’m told that a game I used to love as a younger gamer in the 16-bit era is turning up on XBLA. One great example of this was Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting. The problem is when you actually play the re-conditioned retro game it suddenly looks and feels really old and you realise that technology has moved...

    Halo 3: ODST - Review
    For over nine years the iconic figure of Master Chief has been the champion of the flagship Halo series. The success of the Xbox console owes a lot to the cybernetically-enhanced super-soldier that has led us through many covenant battles, stretching as far back as 2001 in the first title, Halo: Combat Evolved. Nowadays the series has grown to many avenues and Master...

    Ashes Cricket 2009 - Review
    It’s quite fitting that today heralds the arrival of the latest cricket game to our videogame retailers’ shelves. Hopefully today will also see the start of England cruising to take a 2-0 lead overall in the Ashes as the fourth test starts at Headingly. A brilliant day for cricket all round. Apart from the fact that Andrew “Freddy” Flintoff is...

    Batman Arkham Asylum: Hands On
    Back in 1939, when the Caped Crusader first appeared in Detective Comics, the world of videogames was something only spoken of in science-fiction. Artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger could only have dreamt of the worldwide impact their character would have, and continues to have, many generations on. When people think of superheroes Batman will always be one of the...

    1 vs 100: One Week On
    In an industry overflowing with first-person shooters it’s refreshing to see a console manufacturer push the envelope with a brand new genre of game that has both the quality and the magic required to truly capture the gaming community. We’ve not seen the magic recently, in fact the last time I remember it on the Xbox 360 was in Bioshock and Call of Duty:...

    Bioshock 2 Delayed Until 2010
    In a crushing blow to this year’s holiday line up, Take Two Interactive, publishers of the GTA series, announced that Bioshock 2 will not be hitting the shelves this year… for fiscal reasons. The game isn’t late, apparently, nor has the announcement yesterday that a fourth development company have been brought on board to help with the multiplayer aspect,...

    Worms 2: Armageddon blasts onto Xbox Live Arcade
    Available from tomorrow is one of the most fun games ever created by man. Or at least its sequel.
