  • Hydro Thunder Hurricane - Review
    In the mid to late 90s, Sega and Midway ruled the arcades. They had a knack of producing loud, brassy and amazingly playable games with some absolutely amazing cabinets wrapped round them. Power Drift, LA Rush, Afterburner and Outrun were obvious favourites but I don’t recall ever seeing Hydro Thunder in any of the local neon palaces I used to frequent. Hydro Thunder...

  • Deadliest Warrior - Review
    When you have high expectations and a set of exacting standards that a particular genre must adhere to, it’s difficult to be forgiving of a game that takes those expectations and runs them through with a sword. I am Tyler Durden’s sense of extreme disappointment. You see, the premise for The Deadliest Warrior is fairly promising. Take the most battle hardened fighters...

  • Limbo - Review
    Have you ever stood in the middle of a deserted forest and heard the noises it makes? The strange rushing sound of the air in your ears, the creaks and cracks of trees settling in the heat and cold of the day, and the various mysterious little rustles and squeaks from hidden wildlife as it goes about its daily business. Play Dead Studios kick off their utterly fantastic...

  • Rockstar Releases Red Dead Short Film
    A week or two ago there was a Red Dead Redemption short film that was broadcast on Fox.  The 30 minute short is a glimpse inside the life of partially reformed outlaw John Marston as he journeys through the vanishing American west seeking out his former brothers in arms, all in the name of justice.  A varied cast of characters and morally ambiguous situations greet...

  • 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...

  • 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...
