Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations Review (PS3)

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is one of the most absurd videogame titles ever. By encompassing both of the series’ timelines, developers CyberConnect2 seem to have attempted to include every word ever used in reference to Naruto.

SoulCalibur V: Tips from a Pro

At a recent SoulCalibur V event, I got the chance to speak with one of the UK’s best professional gamers, Duncan Cartner, aka Hyrul, and he was kind enough to share some tips for players.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition Review (360)

The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition Preview

As a self-confessed PC-phobe, I haven’t been exposed to much of the hype surrounding The Witcher, mainly because I’m jealous. Lacking the funds to buy a high-end PC, or maintain one with the constant upgrades needed to run the latest games, I try to ignore all the great exclusives PC gamers get. Out of sight, out of mind right? Plus [...]

The Bit.Trip series is one of the most unique gaming franchises available on WiiWare. Now, all six titles have been bundled into a compelling package for both Wii and 3DS.
