Final Fantasy XIII-2 Review
The current console generation is remarkable for how many exciting new IPs it has introduced over the last six years, game franchises that will probably undoubtedly go on to become revered classics in time. Series like Mass Effect, Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed and Gears of War are just a slice of the pie that is indicative ... Read More»

The Darkness II Review
The perennial binary opposition of light versus dark, good versus evil, Tron versus Tron Legacy, this is the very glue that holds not only gaming together, but every conceivable medium. Generally such concepts are explored through abstract metaphors involving carpenters from Marseille, battling with the manifestations of their inner omens in a patisserie, or something ... Read More»

Reviews for 38 Studio’s first foray into the market, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, have gone live and below the break are many a link to click full of opinions on the RPG. The majority of scores are around the 8 mark, but there are a couple of perfect scores in there, as well as a ... Read More»
NeverDead Review
I’m not quite sure what I expected, going in to NeverDead for the first time, especially after having remained virtually undetected on my radar until playday I initially thought this could be a good thing, conducting a review with no prior-knowledge or hype about a game can only be a good thing, surely? Well, that ... Read More»
Haunt Review
Haunt is an interesting game, using Kinect controls and developed exclusively for the Xbox 360. Sometimes it feels like these are the only sort of games Microsoft is willing to fund right now. So, right, Haunt. What’s it about? As the name suggests, it’s a spooky game which requires you get out of a haunted ... Read More»
Quarrel (Xbox Live) Review
Ever heard of an awesome iOS game called Quarrel? Well, if you’re a hardcore iOS gamer, chances are that you have. However, some of you may not have heard of it, so here’s a brief run-down: it’s a weird mash up between turn based strategy games like Advance Wars and Final Fantasy Tactics, and… Scrabble. ...

Kinect Sports 2: Season 2 – Midnight Mountain DLC Review
I reviewed Kinect Sports 2 a few months ago, which you can check out over here, and the most remarkable thing about the game was that, it was actually a downgrade over the first one. Now Microsoft has bolstered the content of this game by releasing three new maps, bringing the total to six. The ... Read More»

Gears of War: Fenix Rising Review
Epic Games has been providing plenty of support for Gears of War after it came out last year. While the quality of the content is very good, it has to be mentioned it doesn’t come cheap. Of course, you could get the season pack, but still I feel it alienated the fan base. More so, when ... Read More»
NeverDead review round up shows mixed results
Critics haven’t credited Konami’s NeverDead with the immortality the title suggests. Despite a strong grouping in the region of seven, enough threes and fours are in the mix to make things unpleasant for UK developer Rebellion. NeverDead currently holds a Metacritic average of 51 on PlayStation 3, and 59 on Xbox 360. The hack-and-slash title ... Read More»
LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Review
The last three books/last four movies (depending on where you stand) of Harry Potter are really dark movies with bleak narratives, something that is not suited at all to a LEGO game. Growing from it’s roots of charm and fairy tales, the series grew much darker and mature with Order of the Phoenix. As a fan ... Read More»
Tropico 4 (Xbox 360) Review
Ever wanted to take on the role of a dictator of a sub-tropical island nation? Me neither, but that’s what Tropico 4 lets you do. In the vein of sim city, Tropico sees you managing your island nation in terms of its foreign policy, economy, education etc. Though the series has been running for some ... Read More»
Persona 2: Innocent Sin review
I just reviewed Trials in the Sky recently, and considering it was such a joy to play a hardcore old-school RPG like that, Persona 2: Innocent Sin just takes it to another level. Again, this is a decade old game released again for the PSP, and features some of the most intriguing story ever seen. ... Read More»
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky review
Trails in the Sky is a 7-year-old game released again for the PSP, and oh boy, it’s one of the best, simple and old-school JRPGs I’ve played this year. I really have to praise this game, because it has provided me one of the most engrossing experiences, and it’s impressive considering it’s a JRPG game. ... Read More»
Rayman Origins Review
Rayman is one of the more instantly recognisable figures in gaming history, yet his time in the industry has been up and down over the years. Initially starring in his own 2D platformer, it was the subsequent 3D sequels that went on to define Rayman’s place in gaming. After he somehow got mixed up in ... Read More»
Dungeon Defenders (PSN) Review
Some of you might have played Dungeon Defenders on your iOS or Android device already, but for those of you who haven’t, now is the perfect time to do so. Because while it may not be the best downloadable game you’ll ever play, it definitely is a game that will give you many, many hours ... Read More»
Kinect: Disneyland Adventures Review
Ever been to Disneyland? If not, Kinect: Disney Land Adventures is incredibly accurate. The developers have done a fine job recreating it in the game, and I can go as far and say that it is basically 1:1 representation. Why is that a big deal? Because it shows that the developers have put a lot ... Read More»
deus ex the missing link dlc review
The recently launched Deus Ex: The Missing Link DLC is better written, longer, and more satisfying than many stand-alone PC games costing twice as much—in short, it delivers more of the same outstanding gameplay that makes Deus Ex: Human Revolution one of the best games of ... Read More»
