    High concept gaming is such a hit and miss affair. Some high concept games get a good critical reception but get absolutely mauled by the great gaming public, and fail to sell in sufficient numbers to be deemed financially successful. Others just strike a chord with everyone lucky enough to take that leap of faith and buy into the idea. I

    Gaming for the Adrenalin Junkie
    Experience the rush of reaching a final table at a major poker tournament, where the prize money reaches 6 figures and you need nerves of steel to keep your cool. Certainly not for the faint-hearted when your own money is at stake.  Poker games for all kinds of players from experienced pros to beginners starting out on a new adventure.
  • Cuboid
    The Tik Games onslaught onto PS3 continues unabated with the third title in their recent push to publish some of their PC back catalogue for consumption through the PSN Store. Cuboid is a puzzle game that invites the player to move a 3-Dimensional object across a precarious aerial playing area, laid out in grid fashion. The core idea is a simple one

  • Mahjong Tales
    As soon as someone gave computers enough graphical grunt to display pretty chinese mahjong tile images, the first Mahjong games seemed to appear almost overnight on just about everything. Historically speaking, I can remember playing the very first game of this ilk back on a crumbling creaky old MSX around 1988. Since then this type of tile-matching game has proliferated...

  • Rock Band 2
    In an ideal world, of course, I’d have no need for Rock Band, as I’d be Slash, and Guns N’ Roses would still be together and writing number 1 after number 1, and I’d be a very rich (and famous) rockstar. Unfortunately though, as we can see from the current “economical crisis”, this is not an ideal world, and I am sadly not Slash, and...

  • Tomb Raider Underworld
    Now that Crystal Dynamics have taken over development duties of the Tomb Raider series, some have embraced the new ‘rebooted’ Lara enthusiastically. Some, however, see the reboots as being far removed from the original vision of Tomb Raider – with an emphasis on platforming and puzzling rather than shooting things. With Crystal Dynamics third outing (previously they worked...

  • Need for Speed: Undercover
    You’re tired, sleep has not been an option. Your day starts off relatively quietly until the peace and tranquillity of your morning drive is shattered. Blues and twos in your rear view mirror and before you know it you’ve got 4 bears on your tail trying to close you down. Problem is, they don’t realise who you are. Second problem is, they don’t realise what you’re driving...

  • Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
    Recent press reports about how annoyed Evolution were about those first Motorstorm target renders aside, Sony would do well to ensure that they keep the studio happy, as they’re capable of pushing the PS3 to its limits. In truth, Motorstorm was the game that made me front up the ridiculous amount of cash for an early PS3 and though brilliant quality releases have been...

  • Bionic Commando Rearmed
    Capcom’s latest re-invention of one of their old arcade classics may strike a chord with several gaming veterans, particularly those who owned Microcomputers in the 8 or 16-bit era. Y’see, this game – Bionic Commando – was actually one of the better arcade conversions back in the day. Featuring an athletic trooper rigged out with a retractable grapple-arm and a gun, the...
