'MAKE METAL BLEED' screams the back of the box for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, and if nothing else, Project Aces' latest crack at ruling the skies with its action-packed flight franchise certainly delivers on that promise. Assault Horizon is quite possibly the most arcadey and accessible Ace Combat yet, dispensing...
As the old adage goes, be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. And so it is with Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. You wished for Frank West's return, and so Capcom has granted that very boon, bringing the photojournalist back into the fray, fresh from...
Dark Souls
Dark Souls is a hard game. We all know this, and from the moment you slip the disc into your console, it'll punish you. A lot. But like a sadomasochist or a moth flying into a flame, you'll die, die, die, then die again, then die some more. But you'll...
Rage
An asteroid glides silently through the vacuum of outer space, blazing a trail towards a collision course with Earth before hitting the surface of our fragile blue planet, irrevocably transforming the landscape forever. And unfortunately for you, you're one of the few to survive the impact, waking to a brave...
F1 2011
Formula One is a tough sport. That's one thing you can take from playing F1 2011 straight away, and while you might watch Formula One on the weekends, thinking it doesn't look all that difficult continuously driving around a circuit for a few hours, a brief spell with the second...
The Gunstringer
Those guys and gals at Twisted Pixel are some smart cookies. That's immediately apparent from the moment you start playing The Gunstringer, which like the rest of the developer's output to date is utterly unique and entertaining. A bizarre hybrid of live action and in-game graphics, The Gunstringer is a...
Once upon a time, Warhammer 40,000 to us denoted kids in Games Workshop prodding around figurines with little red sticks, or painstakingly painting tiny miniatures, or reading White Dwarf magazine. Since playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine however, we're happy to associate the Games Workshop universe with third-person action games, as...
As the old adage goes, 'good things come to those who wait', and that couldn't be a more apt statement for El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, UTV Ignition's deceptively simple and narratively convoluted hack and slasher that starts out as a study in portentous, preposterous pseudo-religious madness, and then...
Bodycount
Back in the day, Black was a shotgun blast up the backside for the FPS genre, with loud, meaty guns that tore up scenery, blasted doors off their hinges and sent enemies flying. Black was unashamedly arcadey too, revelling in staple shooter cliches like the exploding barrel and a hokey...
Driver: San Francisco
Here's a slightly boring story for you... We fell out with the Driver series in a big way during a late night session with Driver 2, in which a lengthy and arduous chase sequence ended when we clipped a minuscule piece of scenery. After hours of cursing following what was...
Playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution, we can't help but wonder what augmentations we'd like to have if they were on offer. Adam Jensen's retractable arm blades would be high on the list (handy for chopping onions), along with his ballistic Typhoon ability (good for erm, mowing the lawn?) and then...
Child of Eden
Back in the day, Rez was unlike anything we'd played before. We didn't go to the insane lengths of buying the trance vibrator to go with it, but the sense of synaesthesia we got from playing it was a genuinely unique thing at the time. Now auteur Tetsuya Mizuguchi is...
