Silent Hill Downpour Xbox 360 Review
17th March 2012 - The Silent Hill series has had a very interesting history, especially in recent years. After premiering on the first Playstation as the antithesis of Resident Evil, emphasizing themes of isolation and fear of the unknown as opposed to an oppressive atmosphere with limited...
Mass Effect 3 Xbox 360 Review
13th March 2012 - Five years ago, Bioware, the development team behind Baldur's Gate and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, released a game called Mass Effect. It was a fully original sci-fi game that was attempting to merge the action and thrills of a third-person shooter with the...
Syndicate Xbox 360 Review
8th March 2012 - One of my favourite games as a child was the original Syndicate, and its sequel, Syndicate Wars. The intelligent mix of strategy, sabotage and seemingly complex missions had me captivated despite my age and naivety towards adult games. One of the worst kept secrets in gaming...
360 XBLA Review - Alan Wake's American Nightmare
25th February 2012 - In May of 2010, Remedy Entertainment released a game called Alan Wake. It was about a famous writer losing his wife to mysterious forces in a small mountain town and followed him fighting shadowy beings from another dimension with a revolver and a flashlight. Despite being...
360 XBLA Review - AMY
25th February 2012 - Amy is the pet project of French publisher, Lexis Numerique, and the development team known as Vectorcell. Advertised as a cross between ICO and a trailmix style blend of apocalypse and zombie scenarios, this game has had, to be generous, a troubled production. It...
Disneyland Adventures Xbox 360 Review
11th December 2011 - “Dad, can we go to Disneyland.” Pretty common question in a house with kid’s right? Actually, it’s a pretty common question I still hear from my mother and sisters as well. Thankfully the last time my son asked me I could respond with “Yeah alright mate” and just turned on...
Need for Speed: The Run Xbox 360 Review
11th December 2011 - Once one of the most respected and beloved racing franchises of all time, Need for Speed certainly has a rich history. But in recent years, constant annual releases and attempted new directions have really divided audiences. The Run is one of the most bold and unique Need...
WWE ’12 Xbox 360 Review
27th November 2011 - Can you smell what THQ is cooking? That’s right; another year, another wrestling title, with more eager little Jimmy’s rushing out in hopes of finally having something that tops No Mercy. And for the most part THQ and the WWE really hit the peoples elbow on this one, there...
HALO: Combat Evolved Anniversary Xbox 360 Review
19th November 2011 - I've been a fan of the Halo series since I played the first game as a kid, in a living room, surrounded by pizza boxes, empty Coke bottles and friends. To me, there's never been anything quite like the Halo series when it comes to fun with mates, and Anniversary is no...
Saints Row: The Third Xbox 360 Review
19th November 2011 - Saints Row originally started as an open-world crime-sim not too dissimilar of the popular (and genre-defining) Grand Theft Auto series. With the first entry in the Saints Row franchise sticking fairly close to its GTA influence (although with its own unique flare), it was...
Lord of the Rings: War in the North Xbox 360 Review
19th November 2011 - Licensed games are an iffy thing in our fine industry. Some are good (Arkham Asylum anyone?), while most are utter garbage (essentially ever movie tie-in ever made…) and not worthy of the plastic they come boxed in. Lord of the Rings is one the luckier players in this...
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Xbox 360 Review
17th November 2011 - Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever wanted something more? Something more than your boring 9 to 5 grind? Something more than getting stuck in traffic on the way to work every morning, or having a detailed routine to ensure you wake up at the right time? To put it bluntly;...
Battlefield 3 Xbox 360 Review
17th November 2011 - Over the last few years, Digital Illusions CE, commonly known as DICE, have continued to deliver gamers quality products with the Battlefield title aimed towards the console market. Named the Bad Company series, these games were massive critical and commercial successes,...
360 XBLA Review - Daytona USA
15th November 2011 - "Daaaaytoooona!" Ah the memories of being down at my latest TimeZone Arcade in the 90’s! You’d walk into the Arcade and the biggest feature would be 8 Daytona machines all lined up. So much money put into the machines but it was well worth it. Fast Forward to 2011...
Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster Xbox 360 Review
12th November 2011 - This is the review lalala (sorry got distracted by the music! Lol) of Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster. The game your Kinect loving younger brother/sister or child has been waiting for, so toss out the Wii cause they won’t be playing with that again. Double Fine didn’t...
