Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Ninja Gaiden II, take two.
Greed Corp.
“The world of Mistbound is one populated with both desperation and greed. Four factions find themselves effectively stranded on an island isolated by a seemingly endless ocean of mist on all sides. With limited real estate and opposing views of how to care for what land and resources remain, conflict…” Read more »
Zip it! - Ten Reasons Why Voice Chat Sucks
“Nearly a decade ago, Microsoft reps were constantly telling everyone that voice chat would be the defining experience of online gaming. They touted Xbox Live as nothing less than a revolution in that regard, with friends communicating cooperatively in strategic shooters like Rainbow Six, or engaging in some good-natured trash…” Read more »
Heavy Rain
“Shaun Mars is missing. He was last seen playing at a local park, before the rain started to pour. You might assume that he just ran away - his home life wasn’t exactly perfect - and pray that he’ll show up at the door any second now. But deep down,…” Read more »
Aliens vs. Predator
“Two decades before blowing the lid off multiple box-office records with his Oscar-nominated, 3D masterpiece, Avatar, James Cameron was busy scaring the hell out of film-goers everywhere with his survival-horror/action sequel to the 1979 classic, Alien. Placing a squad of gung-ho, colonial marines in an infested colony with hundreds of…” Read more »
White Knight Chronicles: International Edition
“As I sit here and write this review, a little devil version of myself is yelling in my ear all the reasons why I should rip this game apart. “It’s terrible!” my little red doppleganger goads. “The online quests suck and you only died once in that easy, piece of…” Read more »
PixelJunk Shooter
“The mission has failed. Deep below the surface of Apoxus Prime something has gone terribly wrong. An S.O.S. has been received but no-one knows exactly what has happened to the mining colony. As a pilot aboard the responding ERS Pinita Colada, it’s your duty to rescue the mining crew, and…” Read more »
Hyperballoid HD
“Hyperballoid HD’s greatest enemy could well be its timing. Had it appeared seven or eight months ago then it would have been an easy sell, its simple and earnest presentation and mass of content appealing to Breakout and Arkanoid fans and its styling echoing earlier PopCap Games output. However, the…” Read more »
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
“It’s ironic really that - five years after its original release - the star of The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is its predecessor, Escape from Butcher Bay. Although Riddick’s second game outing is a solid FPS with excellent atmosphere and visuals, you can never quite shake the…” Read more »
Darksiders
“I’ve been waiting on Darksiders from the moment I heard the “horsemen of the apocalypse game” announcement at E3, and since then I’ve done my research. Pestilence, Famine, Death, War. These are the names of the four horsemen sent to the human world from the realms of heaven and hell…” Read more »
Blue Toad Murder Files - Episodes 1 & 2
“Deep down, almost everyone fancies themselves as an amateur sleuth. How many times have you watched an episode of Poirot or CSI, or read a book by Dickson Carr or Connolly and found yourself second-guessing the murderer and motive before the end? If you’re that kind of person, with a…” Read more »
SingStar Take That
“I’m not really interested in Take That. Being both under thirty five years of age and male, that’s understandable. My mother, however, being some undisclosed number north of thirty five (as well as female, obviously) is very interested in Take That. Upon receiving the review copy of their licensed SingStar…” Read more »
Bayonetta
“Bayonetta has amnesia. It’s clichéd, but she has the excuse of spending the last few hundred years sealed in a coffin. She’s caught up in an age-old conflict between the forces of light and dark, pitting witches against angels in a power struggle to balance the very fabric of reality….” Read more »
James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game
“James Cameron’s Avatar has been a long time coming. The acclaimed director’s first film since the award winning Titanic has been shrouded in mystery for years with the inevitable video game tie-in following suit. This year’s E3 saw Cameron spend a good few hours talking about the project during the…” Read more »
Braid
“By looks alone it’d be easy to dismiss Braid as yet another simple side-scrolling platform game; but that would be wrong, on arguably two levels. Braid is certainly many things; however, it should never be referred to as simple. Although it has the trappings of a platform game, it tends…” Read more »
Fallout 3: Point Lookout
“For those wanderers who’ve grown weary of the Capital Wasteland, fear not; for a small price you can leave it all behind while cruising the Potomac in style aboard the Duchess Gambit. New adventures and curious folk await you on the other end of your voyage in the rustic portside…” Read more »
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
“To like guns is one thing, but to enjoy using said guns to encase your enemies in blocks of ice, shoot saw-blades, or to turn your foes into dancing lunatics is an acquired taste. If any of these possibilities seem even remotely interesting to you, then Ratchet & Clank Future:…” Read more »
FairyTale Fights
“Fairy tales have been lying to us all. Popular myth and folklore would have us believe that Red Riding Hood or Sleeping Beauty were pure and innocent, when in fact FairyTale Fights proves they were murderous and borderline psychotic. It starts auspiciously; the Naked Emperor and Jack (of the Beanstalk…” Read more »
