Tomb Raider Underworld review

Lara Croft has enjoyed relative success on the Xbox 360 platform, what with the impressive Tomb Raider: Legend making an appearance, and the more recent Tomb Raider: Anniversary provoking our minds with seamless fusing of taxing puzzles, energetic combat and skimpy outfits. Crystal Dynamix (the developers) under the watchful eye

Sonic Unleashed review

I would rate myself as quite a mellow, mild mannered person, which in gaming terms means I usually take things in my stride. I’m a firm believer of learning to get better if I can’t accomplish the tasks games provide for me, and so I would say that patience is

Rise of the Argonauts review

I have fond memories of the classic 1963 Jason and the Argonauts movie directed by Don Chaffey. For many years, it seemed like perfect Boxing Day, Bank Holiday fodder for afternoon television viewing. Codemasters alongside developers Liquid Entertainment, has brought the movie to life in Rise of the Argonauts which

Naruto: The Broken Bond review

Legendary review

The story of Pandora ‘s Box is well documented in Greek Mythology and tells the tale of a devious God Zeus, giving the lovely and perhaps somewhat inquisitive Pandora a wedding present in the form of a box. However in his mischievous ways, the instructions are given not to open

Fable 2 review

The long awaited Fable 2 has finally arrived after years of waiting for a new game from Lionhead Studios. Their previous offering, Fable proved to be a popular game on Xbox and although the game wasn’t quite what the developers claimed it to be, it provided an action adventure game

Saints Row 2 review

When the original Saints Row released in 2006 it was met with plenty of praise and yet garnered a fair number of criticisms as well. Gamers instantly likened it to Rockstar’s GTA: San Andreas, as both games offered an open world environment to jump in and out of and have

Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway review

The Brothers in Arms series has always sat on the more niche side of gamers preferences, due to its blending of strategic, tactical gameplay fused with more traditional action features. Some gamers really don’t feel the team element in games and prefer to be that lonesome hero who rushes in
