Medal of Honor review

The Medal of Honor (MOH) series started off on the Playstation as an excellent outing into WWII first person shooting. Heralded as a success, EA’s efforts placed the series on a high pedestal as at the time there wasn’t much else which could rival it. However, after subsequent sequels where

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger review

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is the latest fighter from Arc System Works and offers 12 wild characters who flamboyantly battle their way in glorious 2D. The story is rather unusual, but that shouldn’t stop you from wanting to kick ass. In the 13th hierarchical city, Kagutsuchi, the Librarium regulates the amazing

Enslaved review

Remember the old TV series that appeared on our screens back in the 80s entitled ‘Monkey’ which featured the coming together of four very unlikely characters? The show was based upon the classic sixteenth century Chinese novel ‘Journey to the West’ by Wu Cheng’en and offered action, lots of comedy

Dead Rising 2 review

The original Dead Rising was met with mixed reaction from gamers but was a pretty spectacular zombie filled romp, fresh from the more confined Resident Evil games. Whilst offering something new as an Xbox 360 launch title (or thereabouts) was filled with issues, which for some dampened the experience. It

Mafia II review

The original Mafia released on PC and then made the transition to Xbox in 2004, just missing out on current generation consoles. The game was a decent offering, although some of the gameplay was a little archaic especially one mission involving a certain race car which doesn’t need to be

Deus Ex: Human Revolution review

Deus Ex Human Revolution has been waiting in the wings now for several years, first being mentioned as “in development” back in 2007; that’s four years after the Xbox and PC Deus Ex: Invisible War was released by Ion Storm to receptive and perhaps lukewarm audiences. The original game on

Comic Jumper review

Twisted Pixel Games are probably well known for their other games ‘The Maw’ and the more recent ‘Splosion Man’ which have graced the XBLA to much fanfare. Well, a new game has arisen from their studios entitled ‘Comic Jumper’ which sees you take the lagging career of obnoixious superhero Captain

Naughty Bear review

Naughty Bear is an interesting game from 505 Games, (developed by Artificial Mind and Movement) because there are a few things aside from a cast full of colourful teddy bears that seem a little unusual for a retail priced game. Weighing in at around 700 MB (when installing the game)

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum review

Neo Geo Battle Coliseum (NGBC) released in the arcade in 2005 and some years later we now see the digital version hitting the XBLA. With a number of fighters arriving on the arcade, how well does this relatively new game fair considering the Neo Geo games and their series’ have

Alpha Protocol review

With creative developers Obsidian at the helm of the game that has been billed as a spy role playing game (a first if there ever was one). Alpha Protocol aims to do something familiar but different. Taking aspects from third person action games and then adding in RPG elements, offers
