SimCity Review

I like this game, I like this a lot but you shouldn’t buy it, not yet anyway.

Tomb Raider Review

Rebooting much-loved franchises is always risky. Recent history, however, has taught us that the risk can pay off with the well received revivals of games like SSX and the fresh new take on Devil May Cry. Then again, if you’ve played Duke Nukem Forever you might not be so optimistic.But, fear not! Tomb Raider is a phenomenal game.

Trouble always seems to find its way to the Mushroom Kingdom. Just as Mario and Luigi go off on a coin hunt in the sky, their beloved Princess Peach is kidnapped by the dastardly Koopalings. The brothers have to venture through over 80 stages to rescue her, grabbing an endless deluge of coins across land, water, air, and snow along the way.

FARCRY3

The game was originally set for release on September 4, 2012 in North America and September 6 in Europe; however, it was subsequently delayed due to the developers tweaking the final release version of the game and I’m glad they did.

HALO 4 Review

HALO4REVIEW

If you are a gamer then the chances are you know what HALO is, you may or may not know that its also the most successful xbox franchise to date and that HALO 4 is no longer created by the same people as the previous HALO games but now its done by 343 Industries. The games producer Kiki Wolfkill stated once that the team working on the game were not only fans of where the game was but where it’s going to go.

Did they do it justice?

Dishonored Review

When Dishonored was announced I sat back and thought “looks nice”, then we had trailers which made me think “this game’s a bit like Assassins Creed and possibly Deus EX”, but its not.

Transformers Fall of Cybertron Review

focreview

After suffering through three abysmal movie tie-in games, War for Cybertron which was released two years ago smashed it out of the park with top-notch art direction and a story that brought the game back to its roots and did right by long-time fans.  Fall of Cybertron picks up where the previous title left off while improving on the prior game’s already winning formula in nearly every way.

The Amazing Spider-Man Review

ASM-Logo-

Spider-Man has been a favourite of mine for years. The only difference between the red-and-blue-clad heroes is that Spider-Man has had more games over the years while the likes of Superman haven’t. Yet.
