  • Halo 3: ODST - Review
    For over nine years the iconic figure of Master Chief has been the champion of the flagship Halo series. The success of the Xbox console owes a lot to the cybernetically-enhanced super-soldier that has led us through many covenant battles, stretching as far back as 2001 in the first title, Halo: Combat Evolved. Nowadays the series has grown to many avenues and Master...

  • Ashes Cricket 2009 - Review
    It’s quite fitting that today heralds the arrival of the latest cricket game to our videogame retailers’ shelves. Hopefully today will also see the start of England cruising to take a 2-0 lead overall in the Ashes as the fourth test starts at Headingly. A brilliant day for cricket all round. Apart from the fact that Andrew “Freddy” Flintoff is...

    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.
  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Sacred 2: Fallen Angel - Reviewed
    Many months after being released on PC Format Ascaron Entertainment bring Sacred 2: Fallen Angel to both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 platforms. But rather than leaving anyone with the feeling that we were to simply get a ported title, the developers took strides tweaking and refining the game to ensure it would work with the console gamer in mind. That is not to say...

  • Fight Night Round 4 - Xbox 360 Review
    Queensberry Rules Boxing is one of those “sports” that truly divides people. Some follow it religiously, soaking up the heady atmosphere surrounding fighters and fights. Others see it as a purely barbaric sport enjoyed by low-brow neanderthals who seek vicarious thrills in observing blind ugly violence. Me? I’m a gamer, these arguments wash off me like...

  • EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis - Review
    Straight Sets The WiiMotionPlus is Nintendo’s second wave of motion control. Bolting onto the bottom of a standard remote, the WMP offers another axis of movement sensing that apparently gives the player a more accurate representation of 1 to 1 control. Someone forgot to tell EA this, as for the first few hours you will be utterly convinced that your WMP isn’t...

  • Damnation
    While developing this title Codemasters tried to differentiate it from all of the other shooters by making the game more vertical than just about any other shooter on the market. In other shooters like Call of Duty, Gears of War or Left 4 Dead you don
