  • Transformers: War For Cybertron - Review
    It has been a very long time since we last saw a good Transformers game. Fortunately Transformers: War For Cybertron bucks the trend by being an enjoyable title. High Moon Studios has done a great job in creating a back story for both the Autobots and the Decepticons. For those who haven’t been following the development of this title, Transformers: War For Cybertron...

  • Blur - Review
    It’s annoying isn’t it? You wait ages for a quality arcade racer to come along, then two arrive at once. Almost going head to head, bar a week, are Split/Second and Blur, but don’t discount the latecomer just yet. With the games offering two distinctly different racing experiences, there’s probably room in your collection for both. But this is a Blur review, so...

  • Alpha Protocol - Review
    In Alpha Protocol you are a spy and your weapon is choice. Throughout your adventure you will encounter a variety of decisions that you need to make. These will range from what mission you want to undertake next, how you want to interact with various factions, how to treat your assets and more. Each choice in Alpha Protocol has a legitimate consequence. If the leader of...

  • Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - Review
    The month of May is a big month for those gamers who are fans of the Prince of Persia series. The movie is set to come out in a few days and there is a brand new Prince of Persia adventure for everyone to enjoy at home. It should be quickly noted that this new Prince of Persia title is not a movie tie in game. Even though they came out at relatively the same time each...

  • Red Dead Redemption - Review
    The original Red Dead game, Red Dead Revolver didn’t exactly set the sales charts alight, last generation. But things have changed. Rockstar has built on the solid reputation of its GTA games, perfected an open-world engine that allows for fabulous detail and fully fleshed-out characters, so applying those solid foundations to a Wild West game is a pretty good move. Red...

  • Skate 3 - Review
    It’s an easy criticism to make of EA that they churn out “annual” updates of their most popular gaming franchises. Surely if previous games in the series sell by the bucketload, it’s worth re-using the game assets as many times as you can get away with in order to turn a pretty penny? Would you not do the same if you were a multi-billion dollar games company? A...

  • UFC Undisputed 2010 - Review
    Last year UFC Undisputed 2009 surprised a lot of people and took the gaming world by storm. THQ returns to the Octagon this year with a myriad of changes for UFC Undisputed 2010. Certain areas of the career have been reworked, the online system has been improved and much more. The roster has also received a bit of a graphical overhaul as well this year.  The overall presentation...

  • Split Second - Review
    Last year at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, there was a racing game that blew everyone away and had them excited to see the final product. That game was Black Rock Studio’s latest title, Split Second. For those unaware with the studio, they also made the game “Pure” a couple of years back. Split Second is set in the world of a reality television show that is...

  • Final Fight Double Impact - Review
    Imagine for a second that you live in some sort of a weird alternate universe where your local Mayor is a psyched-up musclebound martial arts expert prone to taking the law into his own hands when his nearest and dearest are put in danger. Without videogames we’d never be put in such ridiculous circumstances, so hooray for Final Fight Double Impact and its absolutely...

  • Dead to Rights: Retribution - Review
    The Dead to Rights series has made its return with Dead to Rights: Retribution. Jack and Shadow are back trying to solve Grant City’s crime problem with moderate success. Dead to Rights: Retribution is a bit of a mixed bag. First of all the developers tried to do too much. What I mean by that is that they put too many actions on a single button to the point where none...
