Plants against Zombies…who will win? Over the past couple of years, PopCap have transformed themselves from Bejewled peddling no-bodies to one of the leading developers of the casual gaming phenomenon. They have revolutionised themselves with several outstanding hits such as Peggle, Bookworm, and now Plants vs. Zombies. PvZ is the latest of an undeniably outstanding …
Rearming an old franchise Bionic Commando: Rearmed is one of those special titles that can invoke nostalgia in the old gamer, and still manage to entice the newbie with it’s addictive gameplay, colourful style and catchy music. Capcom have recovered a brilliant relic of old school, hardcore game design, and have managed to re imbue …
Finish the Fight Halo 3 isn’t really something that can be summed up in a snappy sentence. It has such a following that no one is going to care about what the score at the bottom is – they’ll buy it because it’s Halo, they’ll play it because it’s Halo and, unfortunately, they’ll probably be …
Not Evil At All Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition is pretty much what you’d expect it to be. It’s a remake of one of the best games of all time with tacked on Wiimote functionality. And it’s pretty damn good. The story stays pretty much the same. For those of you who didn’t play the …
What’s Your Brain Age? Brain Age is somewhat a mystery. How can you score something that, theoretically, isn’t a game. How can you break it down so that it makes sense to the gamer. How can you expose its flaws and parade its triumphs when you have nothing to place it against, no criteria to …

Probably the best way to sum it up is that it’s a representation of every game Sega has made post-Saturn: something that shows a ton of promise, but only delivers in non-key moments. The most commendable thing you could say about …
Finally we have Mario 128, and it’s in space! Playing Super Mario Galaxy is as close as I have ever come to gaming nirvana. Simply put, it’s like nothing else out there. It’s the kind of game that will set a benchmark that is nigh on unachievable. It will inspire clones and copiers who can’t …
EA shoots…and hits the bar To be honest, EA’s FIFA franchise has never been comparable to Konami’s PES. However, for most people, this was the year that FIFA bridged the gap and finally gave PES some true competition. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for me. Now, don’t get me wrong. I do like this game. …
Pretty Advanced Warfighting To tell you the truth, I’ve never played a previous Ghost Recon game. GRAW 1 on the 360 got some good scores, but it didn’t spark my interest at that time, and all the previous games were released back in the days when I wasn’t really into gaming. However, I was quite …

Out of this World! Mass Effect is a game different from most on the current market, simply because its greatest strength is something that so many games overlook – conversation. If you remove the conversation system, Mass Effect is a reasonable Action-RPG title with some great graphics and a truly cinematic story. However, by adding …
This Hero Has Style No More Heroes is different. It doesn’t try to be deep and meaningful, and it doesn’t try to appeal to casual gamers. It’s colorful, ripe with dark humor and most importantly it’s incredibly fun. Travis Touchdown is your average guy, living in a motel in the middle of the city Santa …
Heading into the Wild World of Wi-FI Being above the age when Disney World seemed the perfect way to spend my summer and shoes with blinky lights on the side were the height of fashion I approached this one with some trepidation. However, I read some pretty solid reviews and so I said to myself …
