    Skate 2
    A couple of years ago Electronic Arts entered the skateboarding genre and took the title away from the Tony Hawk series. Skate was more realistic and wasn’t nearly as ridiculous. Now with Skate 2, Electronic Arts has taken that winning formula and added on to it. You find yourself in the city of New San Vanelona as you are released from prison. Things have changed while...

    Mirror’s Edge
    There’s something eminently disturbing about a future dystopian world that sits freshly scrubbed and bleach-white under a clear blue sky. All should be well in Faith’s world. She’s a runner, a psyched-up courier with superior parkour skills and the ability to “see” elements in her immediate environment that can help her to scramble across the rooftops of the harshly bright...

    Need for Speed: Undercover
    Need For Speed Undercover is the latest title in what has become another annual franchise for Electronic Arts. You are immediately thrust in to the action when you first start the game and it is all about earning respect.

    Dead Space
    Dead Space starts you out with a beautiful opening cinematic of you approaching the USG Ishimura. Initially you think that you are simply going to the Ishimura to fix a communications problem. However, when you get there you quickly discover a horrific scene. There don’t appear to be any survivors from the rather large crew that was stationed here. The ship appears to...

    Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
    For those who managed to miss the original game, Mercenaries 1 successfully gave the player total freedom in a massive wide-open environment to pursue the nefarious deeds of a chosen mercenary. Trading bullets for bucks was the order of the day, and Mercs 1 did a respectable job and received a positive reaction. Spin on a few years and it seems the games press and players...

    Madden NFL 09
    Madden 09 is one of those annual franchises where no one really knows if it will be good or not. Since EA Sports acquired the exclusive NFL license a few years back one could argue that the Madden team has been complacent in the absence of 2K Sports. Well, this year the Madden franchise turns twenty years old and it seems like EA Sports is trying to change that perception....

    Battlefield: Bad Company
    My history with the Battlefield series goes way back to 2002 and the appearance of DICE’s Battlefield 1942. Firing that game up for a quick reminisce recently, the core gameplay is still as rock solid and incredibly satisfying as ever it was. The series has gone through several sequels and add-on packs since then. Battlefield 1942 had two main additions (Secret Weapons...

    Army of Two
    The world is diving into dark times with more and more terrorist and criminal organisations springing up each day than you can shake a stick at. The Military cannot cope, and contracts are being handed out to Private Military Corporations (PMC) just to maintain the balance of order. EA Montreal have developed Army of Two which sees a couple of bad ass ex Army Rangers;...

    FIFA Street 3
    Perhaps with a zen-like mind uncluttered by the need for technically accurate gameplay and hoards of this season’s stats in footie games, the FIFA Street series appeals to me. I don’t follow football, I couldn’t tell you anything about the nuances of the offside rule or the 4-4-2 configuration but I like playing footie both virtually and out on the local playing field...

    Burnout Paradise
    You know when you start a new job you always fear that somehow you’re not going to be able to live up to the expectations of your new employers? You dread the night before or on the train in the morning that they’re going to sit you down at your desk, lump a whole load papers and files in front of you, say “sort it by noon” and walk off. Well, if that is familiar to you...
