The Darkness II (Xbox 360 / PS3) - Preview
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 The Darkness II (PS3/360) matches a new look with its comic book credentials, but it’s still the sheer demonic madness of it all that is the real draw.
The Darkness rental games are based on a comic book, but not just any old comic book. This one has such a convoluted and intricate plot that […]

NeverDead Preview (Xbox 360 / PS3)
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012Neverdead 360/PS3 juxtaposes an immortal hero and a fragile body. It sounds like high philosophy but in practise it’s bombastic, bizarre and questionably offensive — much more fun.
With its Metal Gear pedigree Neverdead 360/PS3 gives away more than a little about Shinta Nojiri’s previous game. The Metal Gear Ac!d director is obviously as keen on […]
SoulCalibur V Preview (Xbox 360 / PS3)
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012 SoulCalibur V 360/PS3 promises an unlikely return for the series. This was the start of my multiplayer passion and its fifth iteration looks as strong as ever.
There’s no better knife edge to cut your teeth on in the world of multiplayer gaming than a fighting game. I remember first encountering SoulCalibur (as Soul Edge […]
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Preview (Xbox 360 / PS3)
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012Metal Gear Solid HD gets a UK release on PS3 and more interestingly on 360. But more than this novelty it’s the quality of the original games that really excited me here.
Being at the thin end of the console cycle is a double edged sword. Things are maxed out in terms of visuals and surprises, […]

Saints Row The Third - Review (Xbox 360 / PS3)
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011Saints Row: The Third PS3/360 is a rental game on steroids. Even a hardened multiplayer loving gamer such as me can see the sound entertainment logic behind running around an imaginary city naked dominating enemies with psychic sea creatures. Some will dismiss all this frivolity as just that, a feel good flash in the […]

Need for Speed The Run - Review (Xbox 360 / PS3)
Wednesday, December 7th, 2011Need for Speed The Run on Xbox 360/PS3 turns it’s back on circuits in favour of a story driven point-to-point race. Blessed with Hot Pursuit’s Autolog system and Battlefield’s Frostbite 2 engine, it delivers a good rental game that should have been a lot better.
The Need for Speed series has had something of a turbulent […]
