Dead Nation Review
I get a weird feeling in my gut whenever I play a game like Dead Nation. No, it’s not due to its subject matter, or the gore. That feeling sets in when a completely unremarkable game that’s just barely playable. There’s nothing groundbreaking about Dead Nation, it’s just barely competent and even in that regard, it’s easily surpassed by... Read More »
Stacking: The Lost Hobo King DLC Review
Double Fine’s Stacking hit the marketplace a couple of months back with a bang. Most publications fell in love with the cutesy art style and lite puzzle-oriented gameplay. I for one didn’t like it as much but when I heard about its upcoming downloadable content, I decided to give it another shot. The Lost Hobo King has Charlie coming... Read More »
‘Transformers: War for...
Transformers fanatics have been clamouring for a quality video game of their favourite transforming robots ever since the show began way back in 1984. Atari’s 2004 effort, based on the Armada TV series, was a step in the right direction, but since then we’ve suffered through multiple tie-ins to Michael Bay’s big-budget movie extravaganzas that have failed to be...

‘Prince of Persia: The Forgotten...
After the Prince’s cel-shaded and ridiculously easy adventures in 2008’s Prince of Persia, Ubisoft have seemingly abandoned their new direction for the series, opting to revert back to the original Sands of Time trilogy withPrince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. It may coincide with the release of Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney’s big-budget movie adaptation of The Sands of Time, but it has... Read More »
‘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. Vehicles are engulfed in flames left, right and centre, flipping into the air and careening out of control; buildings collapse upon the streets, shop windows are blown out, helicopters swoop...

‘Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild...
Clint Eastwood, John Wayne and co. may have satisfied our Wild West thirst on the big screen, but the world of gun-slinging outlaws has never really materialised in any meaningful way on the videogame circuit. Red Dead Redemption could go some way to filling that void this May, but until then, if you’re looking for some rootin’ tootin’ shootouts at... Read More »
‘Army of Two: The 40th Day’...
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 in Iraq and Afghanistan, and some... Read More »

Competition is always healthy. After dominating the realm of multiplayer first person shooters for so many years, DICE’s Battlefield series has been overtaken in recent times by the surging emergence of Call of Duty and its Modern Warfare brand. The firstBad Company was a step in the right direction, offering a substantial multiplayer package whilst also showcasing the Swedish developer’s first attempt... Read More »
