Virtua Tennis 4
Whatever happened to releasing tennis games when Wimbledon came rolling around? Huh? It’s only the blinking biggest tennis event of the year and not to take advantage of all that noise seems a little pointless. Still, with Virtua Tennis 4 here and Top Spin 4 in close competition we finally...
WWE All Stars
When WWE was actually called WWF, you couldn't help but be a big fan. Watching a bunch of guys beating the living hell - or so I thought - out of one another was bizarrely addictive and how the bad guys always managed to win by nefarious means was frankly...
Like your favourite pair of slippers, the LEGO series offers that same sense of familiarity and warmth each time you return to it. With familiar characters and well-known locales to admire, plus a bucket load of charm, it can turn even the most well known franchises into something fresh. No...
The Force Unleashed, when it was released back in 2008, was generally held as the ultimate fantasy simulator, as it finally let everyone be the Jedi badass they had always longed to be, wielding ridiculously powerful abilities and batting aside foes imperiously. Despite a few minor niggles, the game was...
Front Mission Evolved
The name Front Mission takes me back to a glorious turn based RPG on the original PlayStation, made by the masters of the genre Square, it was one of the few games in the series to make it all the way to Europe. Since then we’ve seen a whole host...
It's been a lean couple of years for our favourite web-slinger, as the latest gaming iterations have been a touch sub par to say the least. What better way to rejuvenate the franchise than drawing upon four different Spidey universes to create a slice of tasty goodness? Shattered Dimensions takes...
I think it is fair to say that the original Kane and Lynch hardly set the world alight. After all of the hype, the game failed to deliver on its initial promise and, even though it provided some solid entertainment and a fantastically unique multiplayer experience, it could well have...
Naughty Bear
There seem to be very few surprises left in the gaming industry, so when a novel idea does come along, people generally sit up and take notice. So the idea of a slightly unhinged, fluffy teddy bear running amok and killing off his brethren is so off the cuff that...
NieR
The quality of the work coming out of Square Enix seems to have taken a dip significantly in recent years, with even the mighty Final Fantasy succeeding in polarising opinions, not to mention a number of other recent misfires. It is hardly the end of an empire, but it does...
Iron Man 2
This is usually the part of the review where I partake in a bit of enjoyable banter, maybe drop a wise crack about the whole movie tie-in phenomenon. Maybe poke a bit of fun at comic book games. Heck, I could even spend some time wondering how a man in...
Need for Speed: Shift
The Need for Speed series has always styled itself on the seedier side of racing, with underground races, plenty of cops and enough customisation for you to pimp your car to the sun and back (though sadly no fluffy dice). The latest instalment has decided to do away with all...
GI Joe? Who the hell are GI Joe? Now I had a bunch of toys by the name of Action Force, but this GI Joe malarkey means nothing to me. What do you mean they are the same? While the cultural boundaries may have blurred a little during my childhood,...
