Batman: Arkham Asylum was one of the more awesome superhero-based games to appear on a game console in recent years, so expectations were undoubtedly high for the sequel Arkham City. And, wow, have those expectations been met! Batman: Arkham City sets you free in the dark and dangerous neighborhood of North Gotham, now a sealed-off […]

I have to admit that after playing through L.A. Noire, the new game from game publisher Rockstar – those wonderful people who bought you the throughly brilliant Grand Theft Auto series and the utterly awesome Red Dead Redemption – I am a little bit mystified by all the rave reviews it has been gathering. To […]
Killzone 2 took a lot of flack because its graphics weren’t so hot (despite what the original trailers suggested…) but was forgiven (a little bit…) because it had a great story and likable characters. Well, Sony and game developer Guerilla obviously decided to fix that particular imbalance with Killzone 3 by making the graphics utterly […]
As a massive James Bond fan it pains me to say this, but the latest 007 game to appear on the next-gen consoles – Blood Stone 007 – just isn’t very good… Vastly derivative and plagued with niggling annoyances, Blood Stone 007 is particularly frustrating simply because it could have been so good.

I can get this review of Call Of Duty: Black Ops out of the way remarkably quickly. With two words as a matter of fact: Massively Disappointing.

Mafia 2 is a game that plays games with you. On the surface it seems like an intoxicating blend of post-war mobster drama and open-world sandbox-style action, like some kind of wonderful Grand Theft Auto-alike set in an optimistic birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll-era USA. But that’s where it tricks you, because the rigid storyline […]
I never really liked the original Crackdown on Xbox 360; it was hyped as an open-world “sandbox” style of game (think Grand Theft Auto) but with a super-futuristic genetically-altered “Agent” under your control, meaning lots of explosions, super-human abilities and other goodness. But it bored me. I could never understand the accolades it collected, simply […]
Grand Theft Auto but without cars? Sounds crap, we know, but believe us; it isn’t…
Previously said to be an Xbox exclusive, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City has now magically, through the power of “lots of money to be made”, finally popped up on a PlayStation near you. Comprising, as the title suggests, of two separate ‘episodes’ – each available separately for download through the PlayStation Store, or […]
