Resident Evil 4
Experiencing Resident 4 HD, everything is as it ever was. The visual upgrade is well received, and the game’s narrative is as terrifying and enticing as ever. Capcom have played this one safe, as it would have been nice to see them try and mix things up with a new...
Driver: San Francisco
Underneath Driver’s pitfalls, there is fun to be had. This game doesn’t manage to eradicate the misfortunes of the past, nor does it build on them. Ubisoft have tried their utmost to get this once revered body back into shape, but there’s plenty of bruises along the way. As we...
Probably too difficult for children, and not engaging enough for adults, it’s difficult to see who EA are trying to cater for (especially when footage of the PS1 game is shown after the credits, reminding players how fun the titles can be). For fans of the series, I suggest you...
Virtua Tennis 4
You’d probably think I hate Virtua Tennis after reading this review. That’s far from the truth, I’ve sunk many hours into the series since its inception in 1999. There’s just something not quite right about this iteration. Keeping a series fresh is undoubtedly difficult, but Virtua Tennis has taken a...
Dungeon Siege III
Dungeon Siege III falls victim to its lack of ambition. With a little extra guts, the developers could have installed an engaging narrative, memorable characters and an online component that would prolong the title’s life. Instead, what we have is an emotionless, unrewarding journey that shies away from doing anything...
The decision to let Criterion tackle the Need for Speed franchise has paid off massively. They’ve produced one of the simplest, yet endlessly engrossing racers of the generation, which is all down to their superb ability to balance how each race plays out. The sense of speed will have fans...
While it holds more first week sales than any other game before it, Black Ops isn’t the series’ high point. What we have here is a refined and extremely confident product from a studio that has found its feet in the FPS world. This sequel captures everything that makes the...
F1 2010
Of course, such problems will hardly make a difference for the die hard fan. F1 2010 has been a long time coming, and those who enjoy the sport will find such value in this title. If the career and time trials aren’t enough, online play will add a competitiveness that...
Split/Second
There’s no doubt about it, Split/Second is a finely balanced, visually stunning racer that loves the brown stuff hitting the fan. It’s impossible to play the game without feeling cool when you evade the lure of an explosion, or wreck five opponents by dumping a boulder in their way. Finally...
Metro 2033
As you transport the aforementioned child to back to his mother, Metro 2033’s horrifying vision begins to take over. The child sees the sky for the first time, claiming he’ll be famous now he’s witnessed the fabled phenomenon. His mother, grateful for his return, offers bullets as a reward. Do...
