Shock and Awe… Half-Life, System Shock 2 and Doom 3. Three games of the highest quality, and three games that Irrational – and this is no bad thing at all, provided you’re happy to go along with the lack of obvious innovation – clearly draws heavily from in its creation of the rich, beautiful, exciting …
TV shows don’t get this many delays… To say that Half Life 2 was a great game would be a massive understatement; it was long, deep, had masses of variety and masses of guns.Mix into this the improvised combat and source engine physics puzzles brought in by the gravity gun and you had a game …
A fine example of what could easily become a classic! OK. I’m going to set the record straight here and now, and you’ll soon see why. STALKER (I’m omitting the dots for brevity) is a great game. It’s a game which won’t soon be completed, nor soon forgotten and confined to the depths of your …
Excuse Me, Mr Clancy For a so-so author of throwaway airport thrillers, Tom Clancy has done alright for himself. I don’t mean to slight the man ? in my younger years I read and enjoyed at least one of his novels ? but consider this: from the variously successful big-screen adaptations of his Jack Ryan …
There are Up’s and there are DOWN’S! Ah yes the sheer magnificence of Time splitters, A first person shooter ( FPS ) which allows you to experience one of the joys of life, shooting people as your primate friend the monkey… or perhaps only one of my joys. Time splitters 2 The next in the …
It’s Back Again, but with a new approach The new outing of Medal Of Honor needed something new, something to give new life to the series which is starting to get stale. Something new we got, the introduction of being able to parachute down onto the levels, then play the missions in any order you …
Gore Please I bought this game. Knowing it has very poor review scores, mostly below 5 /10. I paid 39.99 for it so why would I do that? Instinct told me I would love this game like I love the earlier games in the series. I don’t want to think, I just want to kill …
Don’t hide this in the shadows! For a long time I have avoided the whole stealth em up genre. In fact, I can trace it back to playing Metal Gear Solid on the original Playstation many moons ago. I just didn’t get it. As a hardened Duke Nuke ’em 3D and Quake player, the whole …
Best….game…ever! Crytek pays attention. Far Cry came out four years ago now and was heralded as a classic first person game. Graphically it can still challenge many of the games out today. It’s gameplay was sublime. But it certainly wasn’t perfect, especially towards the end. So the developers paid attention. You can leap onto rooftops …
The closest to real war you will ever want to get! As I was playing Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare I found it difficult to think of it simply as a game, the quality sound, visual appeal and outstanding set pieces create what can only be described as a truly cinematic entertainment experience. The …
Half Life 2 Compilation you must own! Half Life 2 needs no introduction. If it does then I think you may be on the wrong site! But, just in case…Half Life 2 continues the story of Gordon Freeman, a scientist who in the original Half Life became an unwitting hero after an alien invasion. It …
Multiplayer fun with a single player campaign thrown in! Now anyone who knows me will know that I am a massive Star Wars fan. I am a bit of nerd when it comes down to it. Star Wars just floats my boat. I have played almost every incarnation there has been of Star Wars games, …
