  • Overlord: Dark Legend review
    Overlord is one of those games that should be brilliant. Back in the 90’s Dungeon Keeper was a fantastic game for the PC as you got to play at being evil for a change, rather than the hero trying to save the world, which is exactly what Overlord has you doing. Couple that with some very good humour (Overlord is written by Rhianna Pratchett, daughter of Terry, author of...

  • Batman Arkham Asylum…worth 9/10?
    The blog RamRaider recently posted a story about Eidos demanding a score of at least 9/10 for its upcoming Batman Arkham Asylum release, and the cover dedicated to the game, if that magazine wanted to break the review embargo. Eidos have moved quickly to distance themselves from this rumour, with the following statement being released from Jon Brooke, the UK marketing...

  • Sam and Max Save the World review
    Part sit-com videogame and part point-and-click adventure, Sam & Max Save the World is actually the first six episodes that were released on the PC over the last couple of years all rolled up into one big downloadable package. All of the episodes are available to play from the start, although hopefully most players will attempt to tackle them in order as the story...

  • Infamous - review
    We’re a bit late to the table with this one. inFamous has been out for quite a few weeks now but I only got the review code last week. But they say that the best things come to those who wait, and I’ve been such a very patient boy. Put simply, inFamous is a cracker of a PS3 exclusive and one that was well worth the wait to review. Running around a large city...

  • Sam & Max Interview
    Our review of Sam & Max: Save the World is going to be up on Sunday, but to whet your appetites until then, we asked Dan Connors - CEO of TellTale , to answer a few questions for us. For those that didn’t play the original Sam & Max back in the day, or didn’t catch any of the episodes on the PC, can you let them know what they’re in for? Well,...

  • Ghostbusters PS3 review
    I’ve been following the development of Ghostbusters since I first saw it at the Play.com event in March last year at Wembley. Back then it was down for a June/July 08 release, so to see it finally come out twelve months later was a bit of disappointment. The best things come to those that wait they say. I’d also argue that good but far-from-spectacular things also come...

  • George of the Jungle
    I feel as though I need to make a confession; I liked the George of the Jungle movie. There, I said it. I thought it was a great family movie, full of cheap laughs, and I choose to ignore all of the horrendously harsh reviews on Metacritic. So when Neil called me and said that we had review copy of George of the Jungle available, I couldn
