A little behind the times… It seems like no sooner can you say a simple phrase like “financial crisis” and the most commercial time of the year is upon us once more. With Christmas just around the corner, the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 have declared retail warfare on each other, both armed with an …

Right now gentlemen, I want a good clean fight… Well I want to apologise to everyone (especially EA) for taking so long to get this review done. When I was sent the game, my Xbox was suffering from the red ring of death, so Microsoft took a few weeks to repair in and since then …
More big men in small pants! Ah another year, another WWE RAW vs. Smack down game. This year, however, I have decided to check out all of this WWE goodness on the Wii, a move I hope I will not regret! Starting out all looks good. The music is heavy and loud and the graphics …
And the soul still burns… The Soul Calibur franchise is considered, by many, to offer the quintessential fighting experience, so topping previous entries within the series 11-year history is no small order. But Namco Bandai’s latest entry into the world of weapon-based combat easily proves itself as the dominant fighting game of the series, and …
Button mashing mayhem Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is the latest in a string of Dragon Ball Z games, and the first in the series to come to the Xbox 360. Most people will have heard of the DBZ anime series, but in case you’re like me and don’t care much for anime, the story …

Partly because in the early and mid-90’s I didn’t know what video games were, and secondly, I really don’t care much for really bad games. So why on earth have SNK release such monstrosity as a collection, on …
Whats that coming over the hill, is it a monster? So bad it redefines the standards by which you rate games. Sometimes a game will come along that is so bad it redefines the standards by which you rate games. One such game that springs to mind is Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. One gaming magazine …
Good, but not great! Ill fitting tight clothes, women wearing very little and big sweaty men fighting. No, not a night out in Mansfield, but the latest offering from the WWE; Smackdown vs. RAW 2008. Brawling its way back into our living rooms comes a slightly updated, slightly improved and slightly disappointing sequel to Smackdown …
A book you CAN judge by its cover! People always tell me that you can’t judge a book (or a game) by its cover. In this case, you can. Conan is a bloodthirsty hack n slash game, which puts you in the boots of the famed mythical barbarian Conan. The plot focuses on recovering conan’s …
Dynasty Warriors meets Samurai Warriors- Head on Ever wondered what would happen if the worlds of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors met head on in an unholy allegiance against a common enemy..
