If their advertising campaigns are anything to go by, the world of video games and Doritos go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Not content with their rule over Taco Bell, these heavily processed corn chips have fused with gaming once again in the complimentary XBLA title Doritos Crash Course 2. Free is nice, but [...]
The original game, Metro 2033, may have failed to breach the Playstation 3 market in 2010 but 3 years on fans finally have the opportunity to sink their teeth into the latest title based on the famous writings of Dmitry Glukhovsky in Metro: Last Light. I won’t pretend to be the biggest fan of the [...]

Don’t Starve from Klei Entertainment is definitely the latter that features an open randomly generated world that brings back the true meaning of exploration and survival. Everything around the world is looking to kill you and night time can bring instant [...]
Political correctness runs rampant in gaming today, and I’m not just talking about what the ESRB deems appropriate. It seems as if almost every last hero and heroine must be a deathly serious dual gun-wielding warrior with rechargeable health, lest it wishes to spend some time in the bargain bin with countless other fallen heroes. [...]
Poker is universal. From the flashiest casino to the tiniest watering hole, this time-tested game can be found the world over.

I have a confession to make: I’ve never read a comic book in my life. However, I am a huge fighting game fan, and I’ve got the fight stick and blisters to prove it. Thankfully NetherRealm Studio’s new fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us hopes to turn Batman and Superman into the next Ryu and Ken. [...]
When I was first given the job of Reviewing BioShock Infinite I thought it was just going to be another job, another game and another review. All I could see ahead of me is a 10-15 hour gameplay session and started my normal note taking process. “The game opens with a strong sense of place” [...]
The latest title to join the increasingly popular franchise, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct promised to offer players a new, action-driven experience in the world of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead.

Capcom may be no stranger to remakes, but their Darkstalkers series of fighting games has remained deep in the shadows since the 90s (with only a PSP port to its name).

It’s another year and another Gears of War game, at least that is how I felt when I popped in the Gears of War: Judgment disk into my Xbox 360. It all just felt so familiar. I knew there was going to be plenty of chainsaws, impaled enemies, explosions and of course some extreme texture [...]
The original Bit.Trip Runner was simple yet elegant. Guiding Commander Video through landscapes far and wide, all the player had to do was follow the beat and keep on running.

Video game remixes are a dime a dozen these days.

However, the Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra is upping the ante by bringing out the big [...]
If you’re a regular at browsing the internet you’ve probably already read a few Aliens: Colonial Marines Review‘s and the scores are currently sitting at an abysmal level.

Much to Capcom’s disappointment, Street Fighter X Tekken did not set the fighting game community ablaze.

However, the development team has listened to fan’s feedback, and has recently released a [...]
The unlikely antihero that spawned from a sub-par Hollywood movie, Pitch Black, somehow managed to find his way into a number of gaming titles including The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and The Chronicles Of Riddick: Assault On Dark Athena.

It was never going to be an easy ride for Dead Space 3 as the latest addition to a horror franchise that has sold in excess of 5 million copies, but with a variety of mixed reviews already available online, things aren’t looking great for the latest title from Visceral Games. Following the plot from [...]

Platformers are a dying breed in the video game world. So are puzzle games. So when a platform-puzzler like Double Fine’s and Sega’s The Cave comes along, it’s like finding a dodo bird at the end of a double rainbow.
