Saints Row 2
Has Saints Row gone too far? Many felt that Saints Row: The Third was a step too far already, but Saints Row IV takes your 'step too far' and raises you one giant leap, and then blasts you out of a cannon into the sun. There's no escaping that Saint's...
Deadpool
Manic, unpredictable, insane. That's Deadpool in a nutshell. Both the character and his video game revel in abject silliness, and just like the comic book, anything completely random can happen at any given moment in Deadpool: the game. It's for this very reason that you'll either love Deadpool or hate...
Grid 2
Born from the ashes of Codemasters' old TOCA Race Driver series, the first GRID was a continuation of the story-driven racer in which you play the central role of a burgeoning raw driving talent, wheel-spinning your way from one event to the next. There was something inherently rough and ready...
At one point during Resident Evil: Revelations' soggy seafaring story, Jill Valentine refers to one of the T-Abyss virus-infected Ooze as a zombie. While that's not really technically true, the Ooze possess a number of zombie-like characteristics. They're slow moving, clumsy and if they get close enough, they'll try to...
Marvel fighting games have enjoyed something of a long and storied history over the years thanks to Capcom, while DC's heroes have been by and large underrepresented in the fight genre beyond the likes of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. With NetherRealm successfully bringing Mortal Kombat back into the spotlight...
Cutting or chopping stuff up is normally quite mundane. A real chore. It's so dull that supermarkets sell pre-sliced fruit and vegetables in bags. Slicing up carrots, apples, potatoes or whatever is pretty boring, but Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance makes chopping fun. Like, really really fun. It's so enjoyable in...
Dead Space 3
Creeping along a creaky, decaying corridor in near-darkness, surveying the walls for the slightest flicker of a shadow, listening intently for suspicious noises... That's what made Dead Space such a fine entry in the survival horror series upon its release in 2008, but it's something that seems to be sorely...
DmC: Devil May Cry
“Not in a million years!” That's a sentiment that Devil May Cry fans might have cried out when news reached their ears that Ninja Theory had taken over their beloved franchise for a reboot at the behest of Capcom. In DmC, it's a cheeky dig at those very fans and...
Anarchy Reigns
Be warned: Anarchy Reigns possesses none of the grace and elegance of Platinum Games' Bayonetta. Nor is it as compulsive and effortlessly gratifying. What it does have is a range of brawlers tearing strips off one another, pounding heads into the ground, stomping and grinding their faces into the asphalt....
F1 Race Stars
Formula One is a pretty serious sport, so the cartoon stylings of F1 Race Stars is something that's surprisingly out of the ordinary. And although the kart racing sub genre has taken a variety of shapes from the grandaddy of them all, Super Mario Kart and the excellent Crash Team...
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was a fantastic game. Tearing across the winding desert roads of Seacrest County was always an adrenaline-fuelled treat, and having races laid out for you at your fingertips made the whole thing straightforward, intuitive and low on frustration. Hot Pursuit is a tough act to...
Assassin's Creed III
“History is our playground”, Ubisoft has repeatedly claimed in the run up to Assassin's Creed III's launch, and if that is indeed the case then boy, is it one bloody big playground. Not only is there a lot of history to take in on this particular playground, but the game...
