Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood review

With just one year between Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed 2 there has perhaps been a bit of scepticism towards how far the developers could make a different enough game to warrant a release so close together. With the story being a continuation from Assassin’s Creed 2 where leading character Ezio

MotionSports review

With the Kinect launch lineup of games having several overlapped titles, two air board racers, two fitness games, two dance games and now two sports games with Kinect Sports from Rare and Motion Sports from Ubisoft Milan. Rare’s efforts are under the watchful eye of Microsoft whereas Ubisoft’s game is

Your Shape Fitness Evolved review

Of all the Kinect launch titles Your Shape Fitness Evolved from Ubisoft doesn’t really sit in the ‘Game’ category and herald a new dawn in fitness software for the once gaming only machine. It’s probably safe to say the intention isn’t solely to get lazy gamers off their butts and

Crysis 2 review

German video game developers Crytek have become well known for their spectacular pieces of software, mainly in the PC market. Led by three brothers, Crytek made waves with its ‘Cryengine’ game engine used very well with their most prominent release Far Cry on the PC in 2004. Offering more adaptive

Dead Space 2 review

The original Dead Space became a bit of a cult classic, being enjoyed by reviewers but not being as well publicized as other games at the time. The survival horror genre had been turned upside down after Capcom took its leading Resident Evil series into a more action orientated adventure

Prototype review

Sandbox games seem to be an ever increasing genre on Xbox 360 and whilst offering open worlds with lots of activities contained within, like their first person shooter brethren are becoming somewhat over-familiar experiences. The heady and fast moving backdrop of New York city and an unwitting protagonist are the
