Unit 13 Review
Unit 13 is a third-person shooter from Zipper Interactive, and just by hearing the developer’s name, you can probably guess how the game will look like. Yep, the visual style is a lot like SOCOM 4, and I have to say, I really enjoyed playing this game on the PS Vita. The portable’s dual analogue ... Read More»

Hours after the midnight US launch, the Mass Effect 3 reviews have begun trickling in. At this early stage, Commander Shepard’s final adventure is pulling near perfect scores.

Review of Mass Effect 3
4 out of 5 The Citadel must be huge, because this game's got a handful of new areas to explore.Mass Effect 3 faces expectations that are almost impossibly high, partially due to the high quality of its predecessors and the richness of its fiction. BioWare managed to create a sci-fi world worth obsessing over. Expectations ... Read More»

SSX Review
SSX Tricky was one of the biggest and brightest titles of the sixth console generation and whilst not the latest title in the series, it’s certainly the most memorable and even a whole 10 years on, is still widely regarded as the best snowboarding game to date. SSX has a tough act to follow and ... Read More»

Scourge’s Champion Review: Nautilus, Titan of the Depths
Sooo, I’ll admit: when Nautilus came out, I thought he was pretty neat. Nothing special, but kinda neat. I wasn’t sure where he would fit on a team, and (as usual), I wondered if he could jungle. Well, a lot of players try to fit him in as a tank, or even as a solo ... Read More»

Asura’s Wrath Review
Games like Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Final Fantasy and God of War are all deep set in cinematic storytelling- that’s their main purpose, to tell stories and tell them very well. But, contrary to what a few haters might say, these games also always boast of great gameplay that will engage you and addict you, ... Read More»

Binary Domain Review
Robots, robots and robots, that’s what you’ll encounter in Binary Domain. I was slightly being dismissive of this game earlier, because it looked cheesy and undercooked, but boy, was I wrong! The game got hold of my attention and never let go until the end, due to the fantastic pacing that throws new setpeices, cutscenes, ... Read More»

Review of SSX
4 out of 5 EA's latest SSX game is, at once, a nostalgia piece aimed at recapturing the attention of old franchise fans that have wandered astray, and something of a series reboot, mixing in a host of new bells and whistles and heavy drops aimed at capturing the attention of those who maybe never ...

The Old Republic: Diary 2
Most notably, the “Rise of the Rakghouls” patch brought a new level 50 flashpoint called Kaon Under Siege. I must admit, since hitting the leveling wall I haven’t been able to try the FP myself, but the trailer gave me chills. I’ll include it here for kicks. In addition, 4 new bosses were added to ...

Syndicate Review
The First Person Shooter genre is so saturated now that we groan every time we even hear of a new FPS game. When it was announced that the 1993 classic strategy franchise was being rebooted, and that the reboot would be a- surprise- first person shooter, I cringed. Not another one, was what I thought. When I was ... Read More»

Review of Asura's Wrath
4 out of 5 My fist your face yeeeeeeaaaaaah!By the numbers, Asura's Wrath sounds terrible. A six-hour game composed primarily of cutscenes and Quick Time Events, with some simplistic God of War-style character action peppered here and there. Less frequently it turns into Panzer Dragoon for a few minutes at a time, but I am ... Read More»

Forza Motorsport 4 AMLS Pack Review
There’s not much to review when it comes to monthly DLCs that adds new content to the game. What makes this one stand out is the fact that one of my favourite cars – Mazda 787B makes its way to Forza Motorsport 4. It’s implementation in Gran Turismo 5 was an audio-visual spectacle, so how ... Read More»

Start the Party! Save The World! Review
You’ll be pleased to hear that I won’t once be mentioning the tagline to a frankly overrated, poorly paced hit US super-hero drama, in this review. Start The Party: Save The World is Supermassive Games’ second furore into the Start the Party franchise, the first of which was one of the flagship Playstation Move titles ... Read More»

Review of Grand Slam Tennis 2
3 out of 5 Grass, clay, and hard court surfaces impact play.The name might lead you to believe otherwise, but it doesn’t take much time with EA Sports’ Grand Slam Tennis 2 to realize that this is a first-generation product, one that owes significantly more to Sega’s Virtua Tennis than the original, Wii-exclusive Grand Slam ...

Review of Alan Wake's American Nightmare
3 out of 5 If you enjoy Alan Wake's combat, there's plenty of it for you here!When the credits rolled on Alan Wake’s surprisingly excellent add-on The Writer, my first thought was not “more combat, please.” Combat in Alan Wake, a one-two punch of weakening enemies with a flashlight and pumping them full of lead, ...

Review of Rhythm Heaven Fever
5 out of 5 One gets the impression that Nintendo has never been quite sure what to do with Rhythm Heaven (or Rhythm Tengoku, in Japan). Unlike their less-musical equivalent, the WarioWare series, these rhythmic minigame collections have no ubiquitous mascot character to help market the inherent weirdness within. Without that crutch, it becomes difficult ... Read More»

Review of Touch My Katamari
3 out of 5 The franchising and subsequent beating into the ground of Katamari Damacy is sort of inexplicable, if you stop to think about it. For starters, it's kind of crazy that Namco Bandai was even able to turn this hyperactively Japanese game of world-consuming ball-rolling into something people would buy over and over ... Read More»

Review of Syndicate
5 out of 5 There are plenty of office spaces and apartment buildings to shoot apart in the future.The original Syndicate is a beautiful, brutal strategy game that gave you a team of futuristic super agents, the drugs you'd need to keep them under control, and a cyberpunk setting that was just enough to let ...
