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 [...]
Political correctness runs rampant in gaming today, and I’m not just talking about what the ESRB deems appropriate.

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.

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 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.

East meets west and old school meets new in 17 Bit’s Skulls of the Shogun, a strategy game that channels the spirit of a bygone era in more ways than one. Can this rookie warrior dish out the damage, or has this battle already been lost? Skulls of the Shogun Trailer Skulls of the Shogun [...]
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. However, just because this hybrid is a rarity, is it also worth spelunking for? Sprung [...]
Imagine an corporation so powerful that only a few alive know of its existence. A corporation with the power to make people ‘disappear’. The corporation headhunts outsiders to fight in an illegal, underground bloodsport that rewards violence, tenacity and blood-lust. Akin to the ancient gladiators of old, these outsiders are thrown into an arena and [...]
Kazuma Kiryu returns in the 4th addition to the highly popular Japanese franchise, Yakuza 3.

The [...]
Joining the party a little late launching on December 4th, Far Cry 3 seemed to have all the ingredients to be a first class, open world first-person shooter. Ubisoft already had a huge winner in the form of Assassins Creed III but were they able to pull it out of the bag twice in the [...]
One of the best things about video games is how crazy and over-the-top they can get. Who doesn’t want to do something awesome and look cool while doing it? Unfortunately, many titles these days settle for worlds of chest-high walls and super serious gameplay. PlatinumGames, a company known for the extraordinary, is teaming up with [...]
Fighting games usually come in one of two flavors: tournament-ready ordeals designed for the hardest of the hardcore, and casual affairs made for the everyday gamer. Pleasing both crowds with one title is no small feat, but that not stopped SuperBot Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment’s Santa Monica Studio from trying with their crossover fighter [...]
What do you get for the hero that’s done everything? Mega Man, one of gaming’s most iconic characters, has starred in more than 100 titles since he first hit the scene 25 years ago.

Punishing gameplay, detailed sprites, and arcade aesthetics are three things you would not normally associate with mobile gaming, but SNK Playmore hopes to prove everybody wrong with an iOS and Android port of the run-n-gun classic Metal Slug.
