Bioshock. That was a great game, wasn’t it? Apparently it was just System Shock 2 but upgraded, although I never played that game, so I have no idea. Still, great game. Shooting bad guys underwater, great story with plenty of interesting stuff going on, and crazy plasmid mutation thingies going on. Naturally, a sequel had to be made. So, as you might have guessed, tonight’s review is of that sequel, Bioshock 2. And boy, does it suck. (continue reading…)

Remember a while back when I did that preview of Army of Two: The 40th Day? If you can recall, my major complaint was my real life co-op partner, whose preferred version of the game consisted of being a major inconvenience at all costs. Well, I picked up the retail version of the game, and no longer have that complaint. Thank God for friendly AI. So, here’s a proper review of Army of Two: The 40th Day, the first review on this site that also got previewed (in case you were wondering). (continue reading…)

Show of hands who played this game. Come on, ‘fess up. I know you’re out there, feeling slightly ashamed with yourself for even touching the case. Some of you have excuses. Maybe you have a little girl, and she wouldn’t shut up until you bought it for her. Fair enough. Perhaps you merely rented it to boost your Gamerscore. I can accept that, don’t worry. Anyone left who bought it because they thought it might be a good game? If there is, feel free to go outside and play with traffic. In the meantime, I’ll review Hannah Montana: The Movie (The Game, or, as swaggers put it, The Experience!) (continue reading…)

Oh, hello. What day is it? Right, right. Kinda lost track of time. Spent quite some time locked up in my room. Hell, I haven’t seen sunlight for so long it feels like my eyes are burning up! Sorry? What have I been doing? Well, you see, there’s this awesome new game called Mass Effect 2… (continue reading…)

Oh come on, don’t tell me you didn’t see this one coming. What, you didn’t? Do you not read the reviews here? Well, fair enough, you’re probably here for the guides. Truth be told, so am I. But anyway, for those of you that don’t know, tonight’s review is Assassins Creed 2. (continue reading…)

If there’s anything in the world I can tell you about, it’s probably Hitler. I’ve studied the guy for years, learning all about the crazy things that happened in his life that caused him to begin World War 2. So naturally, anything involving World War Two is interesting to me. Hence why I decided to give The Saboteur a go. (continue reading…)

Remember that preview I did last? Ya know, I blasted Dark Void for not being any good. You may remember me mentioning a game called “Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard”. To re-cap, it was a pretty bad game, with clunky controls and mediocre graphics, but it was different because it referenced and made fun of pretty much every single popular video game ever made. The mention to it is surprisingly quite useful for this introduction, since I was reminded of that game when it’s sequel, Matt Hazard: Blood, Bath and Beyond, got released on the Arcade. (continue reading…)

So, as you might have noticed, I’m not a particularly big Guitar Hero fan. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy playing the games; I love the gameplay, and I love being exposed to new music. What gets me is the absolute whoring of the franchise that Activision have done. Every month, a new Guitar Hero! When will it end? Well, hope is in sight, since DJ Hero is now a real thing in real shops. (continue reading…)

Borderlands

Thinking up ways of introducing games gets harder every time I write them. There’s an art to linking something totally irrelevant to a game, and sometimes it’s harder than you might imagine. So, sod the intro, I’ll open like this; Borderlands is pretty damned good. There, you can go now. (continue reading…)

A lot like the Star Trek films, every odd numbered Call of Duty game sucks. Actually that theory doesn’t entirely work, some of the earlier Star Trek films are pretty bad regardless of release order. But the theory stands for the Call of Duty series, so bear with me. It’s pretty much fact that CoD2 and CoD4 are far better than their odd numbered brothers, and part of this is because the even numbered games are developed by the original developer of the series, Infinity Ward, who created the game for the PC. Well, it’s their turn again, so let’s take a look at Modern Warfare 2. (continue reading…)
