Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary - Review
Monday, November 21st, 2011
Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary (Xbox 360) is both old and new. It keeps the story, gameplay and controls perfectly intact from the original while shrouding the whole affair in the graphical goodness of Halo Reach.
I enjoyed revisiting Zelda Ocarina of Time and Starfox 64 on the 3DS a few months back and I’m […]
Assassin’s Creed Revelations Review (Xbox 360 & PS3)
Friday, November 18th, 2011Assassin’s Creed Revelations (Xbox 360/PS3) packs in the kitchen sink, but somehow this rental game gets away with it. The campaign may struggle to maintain attention with so much else to do, but in terms of variety this is the series’ Piece de Resistance.
Assassin’s Creed has always been beautiful to look at and enjoyable to […]
Just Dance 3 Review - Xbox 360, PS3 & Nintendo Wii
Wednesday, October 12th, 2011
Just Dance 3 Kinect/Move/Wii adds full body dancing and bespoke choreography to what is already my favourite dance game. Sensibly shaped dancers and a great track list make this a great party game for all ages.
We have really enjoyed Just Dance in our family, and bought the first two games on the Wii - […]
FIFA 12 Review
Tuesday, October 4th, 2011FIFA 12 connects movement and collision with its new impact engine, but its the series longevity that will appeal to real football fans.
If you play football, at any level, you will know that it is as much about tactics and positional play as it is about blistering pace and twinkle toed centre forwards. Perhaps the […]
Dead Island Review (Xbox 360 / PS3)
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011Dead Island 360/PS3 offers more game than I could swing a bat at. While played alone this can get a little monotonous, with friends this is a solid multiplayer experience.
You may read elsewhere about the trailer controversy of Dead Island 360/PS3. I’ve managed to keep myself clear of all that, and have been happily surprised […]

Bodycount Review (Xbox 360 / PS3)
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011Bodycount 360/PS3, as its name suggests, plays fast and loose with human life. More than that though, the people in the game are almost incidental to the love and attention lavished on the weaponry.
You play as an operative of the Network a Government services agency with a difference. Rather than assisting in pothole filling or […]
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 - Review
Friday, July 22nd, 2011Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 360/PS3/Wii is a solid run and gun game where spells replace firepower. However beyond this the story and multiplayer features have fallen by the wayside.
I’m not the biggest Harry Potter fan but I did enjoy reading the books when I was a younger. The films never quite […]
Cars 2 Review - Nintendo Wii
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011Cars 2 Wii is a MarioKart beater. What might have been a boring movie spin-off turns out to be one of the best kart racers I’ve rented for a long time.
I really enjoyed playing Toy Story 3 on the Wii with my friends last year. Something about it made it stand out from all the […]
Dirt 3 Review (Xbox 360 & PS3)
Friday, May 27th, 2011Dirt 3 360/PS3 sets out its stall for the future. However, it’s the sense that this game knows what’s important and where it has come from that gives it a real sense of excitement.
I’ve become rather fond of this series. Back in 2007 the originally Colin McRae Rally had to come to terms with the […]
