I like to judge things on their merits so I ignore all the politics. …
A new concept in gaming This review originally posted at MentalGamers – www.mentalgamers.com/game_reviews.php?r=18 SiN Episodes is a new concept in gaming as far as I’m aware. Basically the plan is to release a number of small “episodes” of a larger game. Each episode contains around 4-5 hours of gameplay for the average gamer and, obviously, …
Overhyped This review originally posted at MentalGamers – www.mentalgamers.com/game_reviews.php?r=7 I was dubious to begin with about this title as its delivery method was Steam.

Striking FEAR into people’s hearts This review originally posted at MentalGamers – www.mentalgamers.com/game_reviews.php?r=3 On the recommendation of a work colleague, I picked up a copy of F.E.A.R. last week.
