Dante's Inferno
By Phil May on 08/02/2010 at 08:43. 2 comments.

Visceral Studios sure love living up to their name. Enjoying a semi-successful outing already with the superb Dead Space, the studio next turned their attention to classic literature, Dante Alighieri’s epic prose “The Divine Comedy” – a work which weaved a com...

Mass Effect 2
By Phil May on 02/02/2010 at 09:31. 15 comments.

Commander Zilla Shepard’s Log Normandy 2 Day 2 out of Cerberus HQ (Reviewer’s Warning – If you are resolutely avoiding any spoilers for Mass Effect 2’s first few hours, better ship out now) New ship has that smell about it. Poly-binded carbon...

Revs iPhone Review
By Richard Horne on 01/02/2010 at 19:18. 17 comments.

I’ve always been a sucker for old-school, top-down 2D racers, and so when I got the email from Big Head Games announcing their latest release, the glorious 8-bit Revs for the iPhone and iPod Touch, I bought it in a heartbeat. I wasn’t disappointed. ...

Cogs iPhone Review
By Phil May on 29/01/2010 at 09:04. 4 comments.

One of the worst presents I ever remember getting as a kid was one of those nasty little plastic-tiled slider puzzles that seemed to find their way into the bottom of everyone’s Christmas stockings at some point in their lives. After hours of trying to rec...

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars iPhone Review
By NewYork on 28/01/2010 at 23:09. 6 comments.

There's no denying (if you take Metacritic seriously) that GTA: Chinatown Wars is the greatest modern hand-held game. It has become the top rated game on the DS, and is the second best rated game on the PSP, even out-ranking its fully 3D cousins Liberty City S...

Guerrilla Bob iPhone Review
By Richard Horne on 27/01/2010 at 23:42. 4 comments.

When trying to review an iPhone game I’m always faced with numerous objective quandaries. Do I rate a game based on its own individual merits, or compare it to a traditional videogame on the larger more conventional consoles? Should I score a game according to...

Current-Gen Games. A retro disaster in waiting?
By Mike on 24/01/2010 at 18:53. 10 comments.

Downloadable content is all the rage at the moment, facilitated mainly by the inclusion of hard drives in the Xbox 360 and PS3. A fact that surprisingly enough, doesn't sit particularly well with me for a number of reasons. Many of which have been debated unti...

Do gamers have short arms and deep pockets?
By Phil May on 19/01/2010 at 14:02. 7 comments.

Do gamers have short arms and deep pockets? In the current economic climate, it’s understandable that the first to fall victim to the recession and the global retail slowdown are first to take up arms when consumers start penny pinching. Over the past f...

Crush the Castle Review
By Phil May on 15/01/2010 at 16:16. 13 comments.

Armor games have quietly been beavering away, becoming legends in their own lunchtime producing superb little Flash games on PC. Now the iPhone and iPod Touch are getting a taste of the action with some of their best titles being converted and sold on the iTun...

Audio Puzzle Review
By Richard Horne on 14/01/2010 at 19:33. 5 comments.

Dexoris Studios’ Audio Puzzle has to be commended for its innovative use of your iPhone / iPod Touch’s existing music collection in order to mix up its gameplay mechanics. Letting you choose your own tracks to play in the main game itself is a genius move and ...

Casual gaming's shaky foundations - Editorial
By Phil May on 12/01/2010 at 09:05. 9 comments.

Casual Gaming’s shaky foundations crumbling in 2010. Editorial. It’s easy to sneer and grimace at the term “casual gamer” but for the last four or five years, the casual market has exploded, with major companies cashing in on a whole new customer base. ...

Darksiders
By Phil May on 08/01/2010 at 11:12. 4 comments.

It’s not easy being one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. War, Famine, Pestilence and Death turn up for work dutifully, despite the snowy conditions – only to be told that the apocalypse has happened without them, and they’re surplus to requirements. Oh ...

Little Big Planet: Pirates of the Caribbean Level Pack
By Phil May on 05/01/2010 at 08:40. 6 comments.

With an uncanny piece of timing, Media Molecule managed to time the release of their latest update for LittleBigPlanet (codenamed Blue Cheese) with the Christmas TV repeats of the three Pirates of the Caribbean films. Probably just as well, because the whole s...

Trials HD Big Pack Review
By Richard Horne on 01/01/2010 at 16:47. 4 comments.

Before the juggernaut (pun intended) that is Modern Warfare 2 came along, RedLynx’s Trials HD on Xbox 360 was easily my game of the year. With its brilliantly designed levels and addictive just-one-more-go gameplay, it lasted far longer than most retail games ...

Blood Bowl Review
By Tom Scholes on 27/12/2009 at 13:39. 6 comments.

Game manuals are a sore point for some these days. More and more often I hear people having a good old moan on the Internet about how manuals these days are thin, unimpressive and undetailed. Outside of the Grand Theft Auto games and No More Heroes, I can't re...
