In recent times, it’d be fair to say that the Lego franchise has felt a little too safe and comfortable. While Lego Harry Potter and Lego Star Wars have been fun, being so closely tied to their respective storylines has constrained the imaginative spirit of Traveller’s Tales. Lego Batman 2...
Anyone looking for a fun, light-hearted (but with a mean edge – the list of things you’ll never get to do with your life the game shows after you die for example) and challenging environmental physics-based puzzle game that isn’t Portal will do well to pick up Quantum Conundrum. It’s...
The pure evil that is the joy of drowning hundreds of people.
American Nightmare doesn’t hang around, but it doesn’t need to either. Judge this book by its cover; just make sure the cover you’re thinking of is an Americana doused, enjoyably knowing schlock-fest, with a surprising philosophic tinge.
Max Payne 3
It’s been a long wait, but overall I am definitely satisfied with my time in Max Payne 3. It was addictive and entertaining to play from beginning to end, and after a brief stint on Arcade I realised I could easily play it again and still enjoy it – and...

It’s sad really since Episode II is a really solid Sonic game, just one with frustrating boss fights, painfully bad music, and a total lack of originality, imagination or inspiration. I don’t want Sonic to die, but he needs a developer that doesn’t find some new and amazing way to...
This also brings about the main concern of any XBLA game focused so heavily on online multiplayer. How long will the community last? It’s an enjoyable and very different experience from anything else on Xbox Live, but console gamers are known to be fickle. Call of Dutys and Halos aside...
When the dust settles on Sniper Elite V2 though, it’ll likely be remembered for those X-Ray kill animations and little else of note. Your level of enjoyment will be almost directly mapped to how entertaining you find the visual spectacle to be, and - for me at least - it...
Which is a shame, because you’ll probably want to delve deeper into this than just the first few levels, unless the thought of battling giant spiders scares you. If you can get over the relative tedium of the dungeons you’ll be trawling through, there’s a deep indie RPG adventure here....
