774 Deaths Review (iOS)

I’ve only completed 9 out of 33 levels. I’m currently on the 3rd room, but have died 101 times. No, I’m not shit at video games. In 774 Deaths, as the title suggests, you die. A lot. Sounds terrible and pointless, yes? Well, it’s actually one of the most simple and addictive iOS games of the year. 774 Deaths is [...]

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

The one thing that excited me most when I previewed the game recently was the story of The Witcher 2. The game has a deep and complex narrative, but having missed out on the first game I feel like I’m getting the most out of it. You can access a couple of animated cartoon strips from the main menu to [...]

Ninja Gaiden 3 Review (PS3)

If there is one thing that Tecmo Koei know how to do, it’s how to release a fast-paced action title laced with Eastern influence, from the feudal Dynasty Warriors to the franchise-melding Warriors Orochi. Ninja Gaiden 3 is the latest outpouring from Tekmo Koei’s very own Team Ninja studio. Responsible for titles like Dead or Alive and Metroid: Other M, [...]

Borderlands 2 Hands-On Preview

You remember Borderlands, right? Running around a post-apocalyptic desert in 2009 filled with gangs and environments constructed from scrap metal, the game was no Fallout clone. It was a cel-shaded shooty bang game with an RPG tree and quests that basically boiled down to “Go here. Shoot all of the things.” There were plenty of things and even more guns [...]

MotorStorm RC Review (PS Vita)

MotorStorm RC is the latest racing game from developer Evolution Studios but with a big twist. It’s the first MotorStorm game to feature radio controlled cars. And who doesn’t love driving RC cars? [Me. I don't love driving RC cars. They hit me in the feet and the controls do my head in - Ed] The game features 48 events [...]

Defenders of Ardania Review (PC)

You know that feeling when there’s just too much going on in a game and you fear a cerebral explosion may be imminent? Well Defenders of Ardania from Most Wanted Entertainment and Paradox Interactive veers wildly between your brain just giving up and oozing from your ears and mindless button-clicky tedium. The game is based on the standard tower defence mechanic of frantic [...]

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 [...]

King Arthur II The Role-Playing Wargame Review (PC)

Just because an idea looks good on paper isn’t necessarily a positive indication that it’s going to work in reality. King Arthur II The Role-Playing Wargame suffers from shades of this truism. You can almost imagine the meetings at Neocore; “Do we want role-playing?” .. “YES!” .. “Do we want Total War-esque battles?” .. “YES!” .. “Do we want more [...]

Bit.Trip Saga Review (3DS)

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. Sadly, the 3DS counterpart to the Wii’s Bit.Trip Complete will leave players feeling short-changed, which is a shame considering the quality of the games included. Bit.Trip Complete and Bit.Trip Saga [...]

Monstermind Review (Browser)

Have you been playing Monstermind? Launched by Bossa Studios last year, it’s one of the best Facebook games out there. BAFTA certainly seemed to think so, with their specialist jury awarding it the “Online – Browser” award at this year’s Video Game Awards. Monstermind is about defending your city from monsters. Sure, at first it looks like another city-building sim [...]
