Game Reviews

Zombies are possibly the most used idea in video games at the moment. They're being shoehorned into every single genre, even ones where they are completely out of place. Personally, save for the Dead Rising...

I have a really odd relationship with games like Monster Hunter, Ragnarok Odyssey, and more that centre around going out on quests and hunting down monsters, with little-to-no plot or significant writing. You just hunt,...

Some people don’t get the full picture of games journalism, especially when it comes to reviewing.  Our job is not only to ascertain the quality of a title and all its component parts.  It also...

Some games make you laugh, some make you rage, and some even make you downright ball your eyes out. Spike Chunsoft, the developers behind the Zero Escape series, are experts at making you do all...

When it comes to free-to-play games, maintaining a balance between financial viability and aggressive pay-to-win microtransactions is no easy task. Surprisingly, Wargaming appears not only to have walked this tightrope with their first console release,...

Blistered hands, friction burned palms and broken analogue sticks, these might not sound like the types of casualties one would expect to endure whilst playing a video game but back in the late 90s, these...

I have never been happier than when I've been pouring hours and hours of my life into a nice long RPG. I grew up playing games like Final Fantasy and Suikoden, so when Blackguards fell...

Contrary to what some individuals may believe, not all video games are full of blood, gore and subliminal messages that tell us to kill our families and bury them in the garden. There are in...

It’s an animated phenomenon that’s swept through the land, claiming the interest of young and old alike with its insanely entertaining and obnoxiously near the mark humor. This can only be a reference to Adventure...

Stephanie Meyer has a lot to answer for. Apart from giving the one face wonder that is Miss Stewart a platform with which to build her irritating acting career on, she has also made a...

There are a slew of video games out there that are based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s various tales of Middle Earth, especially since Peter Jackson adapted them into films. Most of the games available have been...

It’s been 15 years since Naughty Dog released their last Crash platformer and since then both the video game industry and the company itself have come a long way. Driven by the narrative aspect of...

I’ve never enjoyed motion controls. They always felt like a gimmick that game companies desperately wanted us to enjoy, but for whatever reason, I could just never warm up to them. This is why I...

Just before you thought you were getting over the headaches caused by Bioshock Infinite’s rather monumental ending, Irrational Games have released the first single player DLC, Burial at Sea. As the title would suggest, this...

Enslaved first hit  shelves about three years ago on both the major consoles, but there was no love for a PC version. So now, finally, they've decided to release it on the PC format to...

So here it is, it’s that time of year again when the shelves of our local video game retailers, dashboards of our consoles and almost every other advertising space imaginable are splattered with Call-of-goddamn-Duty. This...

I have always loved the Football Manager series. I remember being ten or eleven and begging my mum to buy me the latest game. She'd always refuse on the basis that, like the FIFA franchise,...

Growing up we all did it, we all played with action figures (they're not dolls, I promise!). Personally, I would dream up entire books worth of story-lines with my plastic friends: betrayals, villains, the occasional...

Here’s some preemptive, full disclosure for all of you people. I am a huge Spongebob fan. I am a grown man, I have a job, a wife, and three kids, and I own all the...

Back in the mid-nineties and early two-thousand’s, the X Files dominated the television scene with some of the most interesting, deep, and frankly, terrifying moments to ever grace the small screen. Mulder and Scully’s constant...

Laharl, Etna and Flonne are back in the latest from NIS America that offers many refinements to appeal to new gamers to the franchise but also includes that addictive, over-the-top, never-ending game-play that veterans alike...

If anyone asks me what the definition of a love-hate relationship is, I immediately point them to the FIFA series. They are possibly the most annoying, frustrating and wonderful games I have played, so with...

It’s that time of year again when in-house developers from Ubisoft set loose another Just Dance title. Now a four-year running franchise, like many annual titles the differences and improvements are often difficult to notice...

I've played some uniquely designed games and some of these were so bad that I should have been arrested for playing them. While there's a lot of content out there that deviates from the normal...

Indie games are one of the best things about the video games industry and it's becoming easier and easier for an Independent company to be able to develop and sell games, especially with the popularity...

Ever since Lando Calrissian's triumphant escape from the imminently exploding Death Star, game developers have been trying to recreate that adrenaline fueled thrill of piloting a speeding ship through narrow tunnels. QubicGames has taken another...
