Infinite Space is a hugely ambitious RPG for the DS and it shows. While there’s no denying that Infinite Space is an enjoyable experience if you put the time into it, at times it’s overwhelmingly detailed and difficult to progress. Look past the hardcore exterior, you’ll see a hardcore interior but one that really does [...]

Picture the scene: a 24 year old man holding a plastic microphone, anxiously staring at words moving slowly across the TV screen, he suddenly bursts into a warbling version of “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, all the while being stared at by a confused cat and a disappointed girlfriend. This is not the sort [...]

Supreme Commander 2 exists for when you positively, absolutely have to throw out bunches of epic tank rushes. Or drop some nukes, rain down fire from the skies or unleash a devastating attack from sea. With other big-name RTS franchises often opting to focus on individual units, Supreme Commander 2 champions a style of exhaustive [...]

To say that Moto GP 09/10 is a niche product probably isn’t going far enough. It’s leaning towards being a simulation, requires time spent in menus upgrading to spec out your ride and probably needs to have a Moto GP fan holding the controller to be fully appreciated. I’ll be honest, I lean more towards [...]

Anyone that collected Panini football stickers will be familiar with Ultimate Team. Like the stickers, you have to save up all your money to buy a pack, desperately hoping for a shiny player, a proper goalscorer, not another Lithuanian left-back. And like stickers, Ultimate Team is structured around this addictive search for perfection, the search [...]

Making a game based on anything so beloved as these two icons of action films is a big task [...]

Whereas echochrome was about manipulating space, echoshift is about messing with time. But it’s not Braid. It’s not nearly as inventive with its time mechanics, for a start.
You don’t get to rewind time. You don’t actually get to do much with time at all, actually, which is a bit odd when considering that’s the main [...]

As the muskets flash and dense smoke swallows the battlefield, armies are marching to their victory or their death. As Napoleon, marches up and down the lines of young men, quivering on the spot as they look over the sodden land. Rally the troops and give them the strength to carry on, the tension building [...]

“How many hours do I put in?” Is a question that many reviewers ask themselves when setting out to deliver a verdict on a game; this question rears its head with many titles but particularly RPGs and MMOs. Any game can be judged on any number of hours and every minute played counts. An MMO [...]

It’s probably for the best if I’m honest in this review, that way it will convey my emotions and feelings in such a way as to be clear. This honesty allows me to report on this new iteration of the STALKER franchise in a more unique view. I’m reasonably new to PC gaming, I’ve played [...]
