What do you want from a game? Do you favour innovation and ambition over quality and craftsmanship? Or would you rather invest in games that play it safe instead of reaching for the stars and falling short? Think it over. Your opinion of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning will largely depend...
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Final Fantasy XIII was a pretty terrible RPG, which is to say that while it had beautiful graphics, a decent story and some interesting set pieces, it came up lacking in the sense of exploration, subtlety and invention that previous titles in the series have become known for. Players were...
Grand Slam Tennis 2
EA Sports is a fearsome beast. Every year, it ensures that teams of hundreds churn out iterative sequels with industrial efficiency. It’s terrifyingly prolific; a bit like Santa’s workshop, except Santa has been replaced with Peter Moore and his funny goatee beard.
SoulCalibur V
You know the score. A tale of swords and souls, eternally retold and all that. And having been rescued from the jaws of retirement by vocal fans, Soul Calibur is back for a fifth instalment, bringing its own brand of clashing steel, historical pomp and flashy pyrotechnics kicking and screaming...
Tropico 4
Welcome back to paradise. No time for relaxing or sunning yourself though, as there is plenty of work to be done to turn this crackpot nation into a world beater. You may have to grease a few palms, do a few dodgy deals and generally get up to no good,...
Apparently there is a war in the north, so it’s time for us northern folk to team up and show those soft, southern lightweights how to rumble. Hold on, it seems that this particular war is in fact taking place in the fictional confines of Middle-earth – rather than across...
As the Harry Potter franchise finally winds its way towards a fitting denouement we are graced with what could, possibly, be the last game tied to the series. Though obviously we will never rule out some kind of inevitable money grabbing spin off in the future, but for all intents...
Saints Row: The Third
Watching the Saints Row franchise grow over the years has been an interesting and fascinating series of events, somewhat akin to watching Gary Busey evolve from competent actor with a bright future to mad-as-a-hatter crazy-ass-motherfucker. Ironic he should appear in Saints Row 2’s promotional material then! While the original Saints...
Rayman Origins
Rayman Origins is massive. Really massive. That's why it's not an episodic XBLA game as originally intended, but a full-blooded retail disc release instead, with all of the intrinsic value that entails. A result of Ubisoft's remarkable UbiART Framework, Rayman is also a deceptively cute game, which might look all...
How do you review a memory? A decade has passed since the original black brick of doom, or Xbox if you like, launched across the world, bringing with it an equal measure of ridicule and intrigue. It soon emerged that one of the first games to be released on the...
Fusing a racing game with a Hollywood blockbuster-grade story is always going to be a hard sell. When have you ever known it to be pulled off in a really convincing and memorable way? Never. And if it has, then it can't have been particularly good, because we can't remember...
It looks like old Ezio's been through quite a lot since the end of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. After all, he has a grey beard now, which as everyone knows is the universal indicator of old age. But while the master assassin finds himself on new stomping grounds in Constantinople, Desmond...
