Velvet Assassin review

Velvet Assassin is the latest game from US based publisher SouthPeak Games and has been produced by German development team Replay Studios. The game tells the story of fictitious character Violette Summer, a British operative during the second World War. The Violette in the game has been influenced by a

Ninja Blade review

Ninjas have featured in a wide variety of games to date across multiple platforms and it’s clear to see why. There’s something most positively alluring about men wearing dark clothing, leaping about the place with sharp swords and pointy throwing objects. Add a touch of smoke and some severed limbs

Monsters Vs. Aliens review

Monsters vs. Aliens is yet another movie tie in game to appear under the watchful eye of Activision and with the movie’s March/April release means that most animated movie fans should have an opportunity to watch it before playing the game. Although that said, I don’t think you’d have ruined

Wheelman review

Actor Vin Diesel gets around a lot, and has made no secret of his passion for video games. The star of movies such as The Fast and the Furious, The Chronicles of Riddick, Triple X, Pitch Black and many more has placed him firmly into the role of action hero.

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X review

Flying games seem to come in a variety of forms but are less in number than the more ground based shooters. We’ve had plenty of first person shooters, and third person action games, but it seems aerial combat is an area that appeals more to a specific gaming demographic. You

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard review

Matt Hazard appeared during the 8 bit days as an iconic no-nonsense wise cracking hero…or so they say. Pretty typical considering most games feature either the sassy buxom female lead or the muscle bound male who could crack walnuts with his biceps. Since his arrival in 1989 we’ve had a

50 Cent: Blood on the Sand review

I was a little tentative when the task of reviewing 50 Cent Blood on the Sand reared its head, not because I’d heard stories of a very poor previous game, and not because I’m not a fan of the hip-hop star, but more to the fact that being a game
