‘Split/Second’ Review

‘Split/Second’ Review
When you think of a Jerry Bruckheimer or Michael Bay production, you think of big-budget, high gloss, action sequences with fast cars, multiple explosions and plenty of hair-raising moments.

‘Metro 2033′ Review

‘Metro 2033′ Review
It’s rare for games from Europe’s Eastern Bloc to receive as much attention as games from the West and the Far East. The most successful titles from this region have been the Serious Sam and S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, but there’s always been something oddly appealing about this particular “genre”...

‘Army of Two: The 40th Day’ Review

‘Army of Two: The 40th Day’ Review
The first Army of Two had some issues trying to find its tone. On the one hand all it wanted to do was bro-out, offering fist bumps, air guitar and “pimped” out golden weapons to fire. While on the other side of the spectrum it dealt with seedy private military corporations in real-world conflicts...

‘Assassin’s Creed II: The Bonfire of the Vanities’ DLC Review

‘Assassin’s Creed II: The Bonfire of the Vanities’ DLC Review
Assassin’s Creed II’s first piece of downloadable content, The Battle of Forli, was a short, underwhelming effort, though it did have some redeemable features, filling in some blanks in ACII’s story and introducing a few interesting new characters.
