L.A. Noire
Rockstar Leeds has done a great job bringing Team Bondi’s L.A. Noire to the PC, which is a thoroughly interesting and at times quite addictive crime thriller. It’s easy to get wrapped up in a case and wanting to uncover what really happened; sifting through the false smiles of NPCs...
Fable III
PC Fable III is clearly the superior when it comes to the Xbox 360 version, if you’ve the Windows machine to match its requirements. The keyboard and mouse are embraced with the game’s notifications and cues adapting on the fly to whether you’re using them or if you’ve stuck with...
Worgen shapeshifting, flying mounts in Azeroth and the action adventures of Harrison Jones!
Front Mission Evolved
Front Mission Evolved can sit well with mech game fans especially with its multiplayer. However as a third-person action shooter not very much stands out unless you quite enjoy boss battles with lots and lots of strafing, reloading, repairing and firing volley after volley of missiles, rockets and bullets. This...
In the end StarCraft II didn’t go changing on us in the fundamentals, and that’s perhaps the greatest feature Blizzard could ever have included. What works, works and StarCraft nailed it back in 1998 and StarCraft II: Wings if Liberty nails it here and now in 2010. Please sir, can...
The Last Remnant
The Last Remnant is an RPG in it for the long haul with hours upon hours of gameplay buried deep inside, providing you can overlook the occasionally queasy dialogue and confusing inventory interface. Square Enix deliver not the most original of plots but the world is chock full of vibrant...
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest is a good but flawed effort from Pandemic Studios and has its visual presentation at times working with and then against it. Gameplay design and AI are the biggest shortcomings likely to infuriate at times but beneath those is a game relishing in...
Wrath of the Lich King is nothing short of proof that Blizzard still knows how to keep things fresh and still has the thinking power to serve up the creative, and the crazy. The more ‘ordinary’ Northrend surpasses the great works the team poured into the fantastical Outland zones....
Devil May Cry 4
Aside from ‘buying’ the run ability – it would have to be slapping the demon frog boss around. Yeah that’s right I said demon frog boss.
Frontlines: Fuel of War isn’t just some filler as people wait for EA’s next Battlefield instalment, yes it does borrow heavily from the game but it has more than enough qualities to really stand proud. The frontline dynamic which is enforced helps players to hone their strategies and strength...
Crysis
Blazing through jungle is fantastic just to witness how great everything looks and ‘feels’, then to have an obscure winter invasion which looked just even more awesome.
Empire Earth III
Remembering the old Empire Earth and realising how much I still love the “complicated” relic.
