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 …
Whatcha gonna do when…a puzzle agent comes for you…?

Become conductor to an electronic wonderland There are very few games which make me rethink my entertainment set-up. Usually a 24-inch telly does the job, but Child Of Eden seems to have been designed to tempt me with TV’s that reach across the entirety of my feature wall and surround sound systems that penetrate the …
Has made typing this heading a painful ordeal “Consult a ‘Doctor’ before starting any new exercise programme? Pah! I have conquered pathetic video game training regimes before, I’ll be draining calories from this in no time!” Foolhardy inner monologue from the ‘Villain’ side of my brain, as 20 minutes later I’m laying on the floor, …
You’d be bannanas to even give this a glance Is it a remake? Is it a sequel?! No, it’s a spin-off featuring the Playstation Move…damn.

Bloodline Champions Review Now I’m someone who is pretty sceptical when it comes to people saying that something is great, new, free and really just all in all worth my time.
