Who needs a Master Sword… Link is a fairly modest man. Despite constantly saving Hyrule from ‘The King Of Evil’, being declared the ‘Hero Of Time’ and defying all biological reasoning by owning a minimum of 3 hearts, he still hands over the title of the game series he leads to the dear Princess Zelda …
Beneath the bright colours lies a deadly game of angles… The horror of the current economic crisis has taken a while to burst through my rose tinted vision. Despite banks crumbling down and millions getting kicked out of their jobs, it only occurred to me that things were dire when Popcap started selling their FREE …
MONKEY BALL GOES BANANAS…and then loses his friends… When it comes to weird ideas for video games, the ‘Super Monkey Ball’ series certainly manages to justify itself a place in our minds. When the idea of controlling an airtight hamster ball consisting of a fully clothed primate across brightly coloured boards towards a goal that …
Do your bit to save Africa Modern day classics seem to be a rarity nowadays, and even rarer when the said classic completely reinvents the way we play a much loved franchise.

Home is where the gore is It’s fair to say that Konami haven’t exactly treated the fans of Silent Hill well during the production of Silent Hill: Homecoming.

Shoot the brains! Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains! I’m going to admit, before 4 I had never followed the Resident Evil series of games, but knew the gist of it.

Frog Vs Manic Lottery Machine – Who will survive? It’s hard to describe or even hear about the concept of Zuma without raising an eyebrow.
