Aliens Vs. Predator is an interesting one, the film wasn’t great but the premise behind it, one-on-one combat between an Aliens and a Predator, was brilliant and in certain points of the game it is too. 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 [...]

Making a video game based on a fourteenth century poem is no easy job, especially one as revered as the Divine Comedy. But what if you take the essence of the poem and skew it into some sort of strange bastardized form full of breasts and babies? Then you might have something.
The story centres around [...]

Everyone who played the first Bioshock still remembers their first encounter with a Big Daddy. So why is it that finally having the chance to play as one feels so underwhelming?

MAG is an ambitious project to say the least and the project as a whole is definitely a risk on Sony’s part. So why is it that a game that took so many risks, feels so generically safe?

Chaos. Complete, and utter, chaos. That is the easiest way to sum up Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter; however that wouldn’t make for an entertaining review.

I’m yet to find a downloadable release that can really scare me like Dead Space, maybe I’m looking for a needle in a haystack but I’m remaining optimistic. Alien Breed, which initially looked like a contender, is not scary nor frightening or even mildly disturbing. It’s a great action game but as far as survival [...]
