Split/Second: Velocity – Review
by The Ricass on Aug.22, 2010, under Previews/Reviews, Reviews
Oh my, it’s been a while hasn’t it. Let’s put my unexplained absence down to, oh I dunno, scarlet fever or something. Or, let’s be more nerdy, let’s say I’ve been SO busy playing video games I didn’t have time to review or preview any of them. Yeah, that sounds good. Alright, start again. -ahem- Whoa! I’ve been so busy playing these video games I haven’t had time to talk about them on this website. Boy, that sure puts me in a bit of a pickle. How about I just pick one of said games at random and start writing about it? Hows about… Split/Second: Velocity? (continue reading…)
Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 – Preview
by The Ricass on Jun.14, 2010, under Previews, Previews/Reviews
The Lego series of games is pretty awesome, I’ll be honest. They manage to mix up a wonderful children’s brand with some of the best films made, creating an environment fit for everyone of all ages, and then essentially making the original film a lot funnier without the means of any dialogue, apart from some mumbling. And now a new film series is getting the Lego treatment. But is Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 looking any good? (continue reading…)
Green Day: Rock Band – Preview
by The Ricass on May.28, 2010, under Previews
Remember how I keep bitching about the Guitar Hero series and the fact that there’s a new game every month or two, and it’s almost identical to the last one? Yeah, you should have worked out by now that I’m quite firmly in the Rock Band camp. Even their band specific games have higher production values than the Guitar Hero equivalent (GH: Van Halen, for example, was a carbon copy of GH4, which was stupidly disappointing). Wait, what’s this? Green Day: Rock Band? Around a year after Beatles: Rock Band? …It’s going to be a long night. (continue reading…)
Skate 3 – Review
by The Ricass on May.28, 2010, under Reviews
This May turned out to be a pretty good month for gaming. First off we got Alan Wake and Skate 3, followed by Red Dead Redemption and Split/Second, coming up we have Alpha Protocol and Blur… if you’re rich and geeky, this sure is a good month for you! Sadly, I’m only one of those, and I think we’ve already established that I’m a geek. So, here’s a review of the one game I’ve managed to pick up through all these wonderful releases: Skate 3.

Planet 51: The Game – Review
by The Ricass on Apr.26, 2010, under Previews/Reviews, Reviews
I’m not entirely sure why I bought this game. I mean, I previewed the damn thing and declared it a horrible GTA rip-off, stating I would most definitely never buy it. And then, a few months later, a parcel arrives through my letterbox containing this, this festering pile of awful that I had foolishly parted money for. So, after forcing myself to complete the game to 100%, I have finally decided to review it before I hand it over to my girlfriend to destroy. Here goes then. Planet 51: The Game. (continue reading…)
Skate 3 – Preview
by The Ricass on Apr.26, 2010, under Previews, Previews/Reviews
Remember when I did a preview of Just Cause 2; I mentioned I loved extreme sports games? Well, the most prolific genre in that category is the skateboarding game, and boy do I lap that stuff up. Every year Activision release a new Tony Hawks game, and every year I find myself mildly disgusted at myself for lining their back pockets with my hard earned cash to give it a go, safe in the knowledge that I’m going to hate it. But good news! EA started making that series called Skate, which is something I can get behind. And now it’s on its third instalment, the aptly named Skate 3. (continue reading…)

As it happens, I’ve been playing the Blur beta since it got released as a private one from way back. I guess I just kept forgetting to write about it. But hey, it’s officially a demo now, so time for a preview! (continue reading…)

Splinter Cell: Conviction – Preview
by The Ricass on Mar.22, 2010, under Previews, Previews/Reviews
I can’t do stealth games. I guess I just don’t have the patience for ‘em, you know, all that sitting in the shadows, waiting for the enemy to walk past before sneaking past and getting to your goal. Still, I do enjoy a bit of the ol’ Splinter Cell, which has plenty of scope for killing everyone on the map. So I was kinda looking forward to the demo of Splinter Cell: Conviction.
