Great game kicks off the autumn rush Hmmm. As a veteran of the first two Deus Ex titles, and a massive fan to boot, Deus Ex presents a quandary for me. Is it a good game? Yes. Does it have a depth and level of intrigue which is less-than-common in todays games? Yes. Is it …
……But what does the D stand for? or those of us in the know, Serious Sam (and it’s sequel) were a real breath of fresh air in an increasingly realistic shooter market a few years ago. Serious Sam always felt like a series that would fill the overrated shoes of Duke Nukem over time (especially …
Sony today took another step towards 3D domination, with the announcement of a new 3D visor kit aimed at the home gamer. The headset features dual 720p HD OLED displays, which display both 2D and 3D video, along with an integrated pair of 5.1 surround sound headphones. Each eye gets its own 0.7 inch display, …

Welcome one and all, Burnout Crash is coming to a PS3 or 360 near you in the near future. Playing from a top down perspective, Criterion is hoping to tap into the fun of the original series on a smaller scale, for a lesser hit on your wallet. Burnout Crash! is launching on PSN and …

A classic title, looking it’s best yet…. Ask any gamer what the best game ever is, and it’s highly likely it will be one of Halo, Mario 64. Half-Life, WoW or Ocarina of Time. Ask anyone who knows their games over the age of 25, and the proportion of Ocarina votes goes up – it …

Visually pretty, generic RPG that serves as a mere taster for Diablo 3… AH, RPGs. Whether you like them Western, Japanese, fantastical, steampunk, futuristic, action, turn based, strategical, or more, there’s always a safe core of functions you can rely on. Stat trees, character development, epic boss fights, tens of hours of gameplay, weird names …
Trips over and drops it’s gun Pweh. It’s my new word, which sums up the general indifference mixed with mild disappointment that Sniper: Elite Warrior brings out in me. It’s the noise I make as yet again, twenty minutes into playing, I’m thinking about other titles in my collection, or making a cup of tea, …
One of the best unplayed titles gets better with HD I’ve been somewhat suspicious of HD remakes in recent years; too often, they sharpen up some areas of the game whilst leaving others suspiciously flat, causing an overall dischord between the new and the old. Sound can remain stilted and muddy; shiny new character models …
On the Brink! Taking it to the Brink! Brinky Brink Panther! Oh, never mind…. Brink is an interesting little oddity: despite churning away in the background for a couple of years now, it never really registered on many gamers’ radars. Developed by Splash Damage (creators of the horribly underrated Quake Wars: Enemy Territory), Brink offers …
Solitary brother….. now has some friends After the severe disappointment that was SOCOM: Confrontation, Zipper Interactive have a pretty big hill to climb. Not only was Confrontation lacking any single player campaign, the multiplayer was limited and so heavily bug-ridden that most gamers didn’t stick with it until the fixes that cleaned most of it …
Just a quick message here – PSN went live about three minutes ago in the UK – you need to be sure that you have updated to firmware v.3.61. PSN store is still down, and matchmaking seems a touch stuttery (to be expected), but, thankfully, we seem to be back and alive! See you all …
More dimension-twisting buffoonery from Valve! OK, so I�m starting with an explanation: you�ve seen my score, and your blood is boiling because you disagree. To those who think I�ve marked it too low, it is a great game, but not quite the Game of the Year everyone is screaming about at the mo. More on …
