Perhaps it’s fitting that Catherine frames itself as an episode in part of a fictional TV show. It feels so much like an actual series that has gone on far too long and has introduced tangential elements to keep people interested. The show would have started by focusing almost entirely on the main plot, but keeps adding layers of importance [...]
SoulCalibur V delivers some excellent fights and intense action, offering a level of depth and complexity unseen in previous entries. But there isn’t enough variety within the matches themselves for it to be considered among the top-tier fighters on the market. SoulCalibur V sees the long-running series undergo a serious makeover to the core gameplay. The major changes centre around [...]
If you own any kind of iOS device, you’re probably fully aware that Quarrel is the ideal word game. I hope so, at least, since if you don’t own Quarrel on your phone already you’ve ostensibly bought a paperweight. Quarrel’s so good that it completely justifies that massive monetary commitment. It’s a cheap word game that is good enough to [...]
AMY, one of the very first releases of 2012, sets a very high standard for others not to follow. “Terrible” is the choice of descriptive here and can be used to describe most of the game, despite one or two clever ideas. This survival horror (more survival, less horror) just feels like a total copy of the Saw games but [...]
Oh Chillingo, why must you offer me exactly the kind of game I love and then cruelly take it away by annoying the crap out of me with adverts and underhand ways of trying to make me spend money? Don’t you realise I’m a stubborn cuss who objects to developers making game progression so mind numbingly tedious in the deluded [...]
“Exuberant, colourful and very chatty release would like to meet casual gamers for cartoon-styled violence and good times.” Brawl Busters is the new over the shoulder deathmatch / co-op release from Rock Hippo. Like Team Fortress 2 it’s released as Free-2-Play and offers in-game currency for those who are time starved but still want weapons and plenty of ‘em. Whilst [...]
Get ball to hoop. Ball is bouncy and subject to gravity. Ball must be mollycoddled towards hoop via carefully constructed obstacle courses of clutter. Sometimes different types of balls are used all at the same time! Backyard Bounce, the latest physics based puzzle game from Clickgamer.com is certainly nothing new. Three different environments, each with twenty-four puzzles, are offered up [...]
Rayman Origins. I can hear the collective sighs of the latest generation of gamers across the country whose only memories of Rayman are the Raving Rabbids games and would rather shoot themselves than play another. I say to them NAY, your opinions are wrong (if a little justified). Why do you play games? If you said for fun then you [...]
I don’t usually start a review with a major gripe but as it is to do with the title of the game, I feel it is needed. Kirby’s Adventure Wii is an atrocious name. It’s lame, boring, and there is nothing catchy about it at all. It isn’t even the original title of the game, so money has actually been [...]
Back in 2010, The Average Gamer reviewed the Microsoft-published hit, Alan Wake. Unfortunately, Tom Wallis did not see it as a hit. Personally, I thought the game was excellent, much to the contrary of the review. Although you are able to skip through the cut-scenes, the episodic nature of the story telling does seem a little pointless. At first. By [...]
Generally, Christmas is a time of excess. Mince pies are consumed by the dozen and the mere mention of fitness is banished to the naughty step with the rest of the never-fulfilled New Year’s resolutions. Where the only exercise you’ll see is two people trying to hold on to just a bit more of a cracker, so they can be [...]
Imagine a world where you can do what you want, when you want and get adored just for existing. As I covered in my hands-on preview at Gamescom 2011, Saints Row: The Third lets you live that fictional life while having fun in the most outrageous way possible. Amazingly Insane Your home for the majority of the game is the [...]
