  • Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
    Before being thrown headfirst into a warzone, it’s nice to watch something soothing, so don’t worry, don’t do a puzzled double-take when the game’s first opening scenes have you searching to see if you’ve installed the right Blu Ray disk. Yep, it’s supposed to look like that. Calm down, smoke a few thousand cigarettes (like Snake himself does during the game’s rather natty...

  • Silent Hill V: Homecoming
    When I sat down to play Silent Hill: Homecoming, the latest instalment in the Silent Hill franchise, I wasn’t expecting much.

  • Frogger 2
    With a rictus grin set firmly across my face, I approached Frogger 2 with that recent litany from Microsoft ringing in my ears. “We’re clearing the decks” they said. “We’re ditching a whole load of junk from the Xbox Live Marketplace to ensure better quality releases have room to breathe.” Quite what their parameters are for measuring quality releases is unbeknown to me,...

  • Pro Evolution Soccer 6
    The Pro Evolution Soccer series and its rivalry with the more illustrious FIFA offering from EA has been well documented in recent years. The received wisdom is that Pro Evolution has always been the game for the connoisseur, the truest representation of The Beautiful Game (TM) with its lifelike ball physics, intuitive passing and sensible shooting. FIFA on the other hand,...
