Crysis 3 – Game Review

Crysis 3 might not necessarily completely satisfy the original die-hard Crysis fans, but I think that many will have to admit that this is one of the best shooters we’ve seen in a while....

Need for Speed Most Wanted game review

Score: 9 out of 10 The best thing about Need for Speed Most Wanted is the fact that Criterion has focused it squarely on racing. This may sound redundant for a driving game, but it is surprising how many driving games end up with lots of distracting things that just take you away from the......

Medal of Honor Warfighter – Game Review

Score: 5 out of 10 The Medal of Honor franchise attempts to break a monopoly created by Battlefield and Call of Duty. These two have ruled the roost for so long. Unfortunately and sadly, this is not the year that Medal of Honor will get the job done. It seems like that war is going......

Borderlands 2 game review

If you’ve played the original 2009 hit, Borderlands, then you’re not going to need much of an introduction to this series. Borderlands 2 is a giant improvement and they’ve somehow achieved this by not changing much at all....

FIFA 13 game review

Just when I thought it couldn’t get better. Just when I thought the physics couldn’t be more real. Just when I thought I’d seen it all. Along comes Electronic Arts with a FIFA edition that is so good it will make you cry “Goooaaaaal”! Surely this must be the best football game ever made....

Brave game review

It’s nice that movie-based games are becoming more than just silly merchandising like branded lunchboxes and schoolbags. Unfortunately most still do fall into the cheap knockoff category. The developers at Disney Interactive, the makers of Brave, seem to be doing their part to alter that stereotype and have done a good job with Brave....

Amazing Spiderman Xbox Gaming Review - pic 1

The Amazing Spider-Man game review

I was happy to get a chance to see the new Amazing Spiderman movie at a special sneak preview and I was equally happy to receive the Amazing Spiderman Xbox title the following day for review. As a big fan of the Spiderman franchise, I am always excited to play a new version even though the sad truth is that most movie-based games are rubbish. Thankfully, this one isn’t....

Xmen Destiny: Game Review

A little while ago you wouldn't have to wait very long to hear something about the everlasting Xmen. I am a big fan and certainly enjoy most of the variations. This game however does not make me feel like a proud fan. This game makes me feel like maybe I'm not that big a fan....

F1 2011 – Game Review

When the 2010 version of this F1 franchise was released, it raced ahead of all the other competitors. This new version is more intense and oh so wonderful to watch so I think we can confidently say that Codemasters have done it again....

Spiderman from 2099 and the original Amazing Spiderman are teamed up in this time traveling game.

Spiderman – Edge of Time: Game Review

I've always been a fan of Spiderman. In particular I've always liked The Amazing Spiderman. In Spiderman - Edge of Time you play as The Amazing Spiderman as well as the Spiderman from the year 2099. The game can be confusing as can any tale of time travel, but the bigger disappointment comes from the game's many limitations....
