Can Red Steel 2 live up to the promise that Red Steel started? Do you remember when the Wii first came out? There was a really cool advert that showed some guy playing Red Steel. I remember a bit where he was stood there holding the WiiMote aloft and on the screen you could see …
Alan Wake finally steps into the light I knew the mix of fungi and rust forming a beard over my 360 is a clear sign of old age, but mention the name Alan Wake and we all might as well be sitting on its knee in front of a warm fireplace, listening to tales of …
Aces high? Having flown more hours now than the average allied WW2 pilot did before he took on the Jerry over the white cliffs of Dover, and turned plenty of fine German engineering into flaming scrap metal, what is it really like to be a ‘bird of prey’? If you think zooming around in a …

(Might) just be the best Playstation Mini yet! Stealth is over-rated. Stealth is cowardly. Stealth is used by sex offenders.

The story is very different now, it’s personal to Sam, and the game reflects …

Partly because I burn anyone who utilises the talent of forward thinking, dousing them in petrol and accusations in witchcraft due to the sheer hell of it, partly because of a competitive bout of ‘OCD’. A vigilante pixelated …
Ahhh! where the hell’s the ground gone!? Once in a while there’s an RPG that I feel compelled to play again and commit another 40 to 60 hours playing through, and I’m sure there are people out there who know what type of games I’m talking about. Games that are fresh and unique and that …
JRPG goes hardcore Greetings RPG fans, boy have you been blessed. Two quality Japanese RPG`s in the same month. First came the hotly anticipated thirteenth Final Fantasy game. This was one of the best looking games on any console, but some may say that the scrapping of towns and the linearity of the game has …
