War in the North, should you believe the blurb “is a co-op Action RPG that immerses you and your friends in a brutal new chapter in the War of the Ring”. It’s similar in level design to previous titles where you work through each area bashing trolls and orcs until you reach a set piece. These err towards bashing a [...]
Asylum was great, wasn’t it? I know people have got some reservations about City, what with it being a bit pointlessly expanded resulting in it feeling a little less focused, but I think it’s pretty great too. It’s just such a tactile experience, dropping into a large crowd of opponents, ducking and dodging around them, countering blows, catching chairs, breaking [...]
A year on from the release of the brilliant Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and it’s time to wrap up the stories of both Ezio and Altair. With two legendary assassins at the helm of Revelations this should be the greatest Assassin’s Creed game of all, right? The game is dominated by a huge, 14th century version of the city of Constantinople [...]
To say I was looking forward to Batman: Arkham City is a bit of an understatement. From the very moment I finished Batman: Arkham Asylum I’d been waiting for the chance to fly as Batman once again. With the first game set entirely within the modest confines of Gotham’s craziest lunatic asylum, the sprawling metropolis of the Arkham City prison [...]
The Middle Ages weren’t a good time to be alive to be honest. Not that I was around back then, but I’ve heard it sucked pretty bad. Unless you were a Knight of the Realm, it was all hacking and slashing through the Middle East on a mission from God to find the Holy Grail or the key to eternal [...]
Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is the latest in Nathan Drake’s ongoing adventures. Ever since the end of 2007 when the first game was released, the Uncharted games have been showered with awards and sold million of copies. So Naughty Dog have a hell of a job on their hands to make Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception to top the brilliance of [...]
Question: Do you guys like roller-coasters? How about this one; do you like jets? If the answer to both questions is yes, then you have Jetcoasters. Take that solid gold lump of sweet engineering, add a dash of Japanese pedigree and a full-blown ‘merican gunmetal finish, and you got yourself an Ace Combat like no other; you got Assault Horizon, [...]
The original Dungeon Siege games were role-playing games, with strategy elements, and point and click functionality. Think Diablo 2, and you get the picture. This new addition (and sequel) to the series, is far more action-oriented, with only minor RPG elements. Dungeon Siege III is once again set in the kingdom of Ehb, some 150 years after the events of [...]
I don’t know much about the Dead Sea Scrolls. As far as I’m aware they’re like the Star Wars expanded universe books but with Christianity instead of Jawas; padding out the world around the main story but not really important enough to make it into the “canon”. El Shaddai practically insists that before starting the game not only should I [...]
Previously featured in our 11 of the Best Wii Ware Games post, Swords and Soldiers is an action-strategy game now out on iOS with a fun approach and an interesting play model. The story for Swords and Soldiers is based upon armies and food. The first set of levels sees you leading barbeque-loving Vikings on a global quest for the [...]
More and more frequently, I’ve been hearing that people no longer want to play dice-roll RPGs. Upcoming MMORPG TERA might well be your thing. Late on a Tuesday afternoon last month I was escorted into a giant tree filled with technology to check out TERA from Bluehole Studio. Yes, it’s yet another fantasy MMO with buxom babes and humongous hunks. [...]
This game is really fucking weird. It’s also everything you would expect if you’ve seen that Enlarge Your Johnson trailer. Not quite as cheesy and game-show-like but not far off at all. Throughout Shadows of The Damned You play Garcia Hotspur, on a mission to save his girlfriend from god-knows-what terrible fate at the hands of the wise-cracking Big Bad. [...]
