So, while I’ve got a lot of small quibbles with Forza, it’s hard to deny that it’s a bold step in a new direction for the series. On the technical side of things it’s nearly flawless and this new direction for the series is very accessible, and highly entertaining. It’s...
The way that Angry Birds and Star Wars works together is great. Fans of Star Wars will fall in love with the loyal use of sound effects. Lightsabres, lasers, the token title music, it’s all there. But in the end, that’s pretty much it. It’s still Angry Birds and it’s...
To come back to my original statement – if Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation had been released in a couple of months, it would have been a killer title for the Vita. People would not have directly compared it to the TV console big brother and people would have judged it...
But, thankfully, it would seem that the waste of resources by Ubisoft on the multiplayer was not at the expense of the single-player game. Assassin’s Creed III is the finest game in the series – a breathtaking open world title with a huge range of things to do and see,...
Another great touch: there’s no online multiplayer shoehorned in unnecessarily. It’s the kind of just-one-more-turn strategy game that sticks to what it’s good at – a campaign and a freeplay mode – and that’s enough to have you playing until the early hours of the morning. I love it for...

But I really can’t get past the potential for the EA Origin accounts to shake up the whole value proposition of this FIFA game, and future instalments. Just like how iTunes has locked me into my iPhone and iPad, the Cloud account for my stats and other FIFA details may...

Worms is at its finest when it sticks to what it is good at – multiplayer blast-em-ups. Though online multiplayer will never replace local for this kind of game, and though online is how I play most of my multiplayer these days, Worms will never fail to get a smile...
It’s been an incredible couple of weeks for iOS gaming. The exclusive Horn, followed by the superb port of The World Ends With You, and now Bastion. Given that you can buy all three for the cost of one retail game, it genuinely amazes me that people still think the...
