Injustice: Gods Among Us Review

Injustice: Gods Among Us is a game that will delight many. It will also infuriate some. On one hand, it is a slick and accessible fighting game in which you get to play as a variety of heroes and villains from the DC Universe. On the other hand, hard-core Mortal Combat fans will no doubt…

Bioshock infinite: review

Bioshock Infinite: Review

“Booker, are you afraid of God?” “No, but I’m afraid of you.” And so begins one of the greatest games I have ever played. Revolutionary. Game-changing. Magnificent. Extraordinary. I run out of superlatives trying to sum up exactly what Bioshock Infinite has managed to achieve. More than anything, I think, Bioshock Infinite is an important game…

Gears of war judgement: review

Gears of War Judgement: Review

I’ve always been a Gears of War fan. Lots of alien blasting, curb-stomping, chainsawing, blood and guts, explosions etc. etc. If I’m in a certain type of mood, I can sit blasting grubs for hours at a time. It’s brilliant. It even throws an exciting and emotive story along side it all. What’s not to…

Sniper: ghost warrior 2 review

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Review

I had my reservations when I picked up this game. If you remember the original Sniper: Ghost Warrior, you’ll remember a laughably bad game; full of glitches, invisible walls, poor A.I., and terrible level design. Considering all this, it came as bit of a surprise when the game’s developers, City Interactive, announced that they would…

Assassin’s creed 4

Assassin’s Creed 4

The original Assassin’s Creed, released way back in 2007, was a brilliant game in many ways. The ability to run, jump and climb your way around the sprawling medieval cities was a design element that I had never seen in a game before. The story was interesting too, and jumped between The Holy Land during…

Destiny

Destiny

Bungie finally unveils After months of speculation Bungie has finally broken the silence on their new IP, Destiny. And it looks immense. Essentially, despite what they say, it looks like Bungie are creating a massively-multiplayer-first-person-shooter with some RPG elements thrown into the mix for good measure. Humanity on the brink of extinction, time traveling robots,…

Temple run 2 review

Temple Run 2 Review

Keep Running The original Temple Run has been downloaded 170 million times. 170 million. That’s ridiculous. The small indie developer, Imangi Studios, who created the monster, could have never have predicted the game’s success. The game is based on a simple concept. Essentially, you run for as long as possible without running into a tree,…

Yes, the bizarrely named Nook HD has hit the shelves this week, starting at $199 (£159) for the 7″ version and $269 (£189) for Nook HD+ which has a 9″ display.   Stunning Screen Resolution Similarly to the Kindle Fire HD, which I reviewed earlier, the first thing…

Devil may cry review

Devil May Cry Review

DMC Original Still Makes Me Smile I have to admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of hack’n’slash games. Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, God of War, Dynasty Warriors: none of these titles have ever particularly piqued my interest. However, something about Devil May Cry has always captured me. The original DMC, released way back in 2001,…
