X-Men The Official Movie Game review

There have been a number of X-Men inspired games to appear on consoles and why not? Marvel Comics mutant creations are as worthy game material as the next character and with the likes of the vicious Wolverine or chilled out Iceman and teleporting Nightcrawler at the helm, X-Men characters offer

Tomb Raider Legend review

Well it’s been a while since Lara Croft; the enigmatic busty adventurer graced our consoles and even though many gamers felt her last outing was perhaps the worst in the series, her return for fans at least is a welcome one. Tomb Raider Legend on Xbox 360 brings the franchise

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat review

Xbox 360 is granted another first person shooter to join the ranks of Call of Duty 2, Perfect Dark, Quake and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter; however this time the onus is on a mixture of arcade thrills combined with a slight tactical edge. Battlefield 2: Modern Combat or Battlefield 2

Rumble Roses XX review

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion review

I was a big fan of Morrowind on Xbox and of course I purchased the original game when it was released during the dry spell of releases early on in the console’s life. I also went on to purchase the Game of the year edition. I can proudly say that

Fight Night Round 3 review

The old art form of boxing is brought to home consoles once again with Electronic Arts Fight Night Round 3 which opts to take a more realistic approach to the sport rather than providing an all out arcade experience. As the name suggests this is the 3rd iteration of the

Full Auto review

Xbox and Xbox 360 have and will be getting a fair number of driving games this year and whilst many gamers have dwelled in the delights of Project Gotham Racing 3 or the arcade thrills of Ridge Racer 6 or NFS: Most Wanted it might seem that another racing game
