Sid Meier’s Civilization: Revolution review

Civilization Revolution isn’t for the faint hearted, because if you know your history, then you’ll be aware that warfare has played a major part in the advancement and detriment of the human race. The game places the player into a godlike diplomatic role, where by managing resources, developing technology and

Beijing 2008 review

The Olympic Games are about to begin in Beijing and to catch you whilst in the athletics mood, Sega has released the official game of the games. This mean that gamers wishing to reach the peaks of athleticism can do so from the comfort of their own homes, minus any

Alone in the Dark review

The Alone in the Dark series has had a long and rich existence as a video game, and has also been one of the few licenses to receive a movie adaptation (although many would argue the movie wasn’t the pinnacle of the series’ achievements). It’s now 2008 and Eden games

Iron Man review

The movie Iron Man has just released and thus far has received reasonable responses from movie goers. SEGA has enlisted developer Secret Level to recreate the movie experience in the Iron Man video game. Movie tie in games have always been regarded as poor efforts by the more hardcore gaming

GTA IV review

Grand Theft Auto IV or GTA IV as it’s more commonly known, has been a long time coming for fans of the long running series. Xbox owners managed to grab the last game GTA: San Andreas after a long wait, whereas the PS2 masses were able to sample its delights

Dark Sector review

Digital Extremes has been responsible for some good games over the years, what with the Unreal games on various systems as well as the highly ambitious and somewhat over critically reviewed Pariah on Xbox. Well Dark Sector is the team’s latest creation and features a special ops character called Hayden
