Reality Fighters makes me look like a man. A muscle-bound man with giant saggy breasts and a really bad wig. Yup, that’s me on the left there. When you start the game, you take a photo of your face which is then grafted onto a body that you customise further. You can make your character really fat and blobby, really [...]

If you bought a new copy of Kingdoms of Amalur then you’ll already have the House of Valor content available to you via what EA is calling a “season pass”, you’ll just need to redeem the code included in your box. Should you be looking to purchase the title pre-owned then this extra set of quests and smattering of loot [...]

Any game surreal enough to include a conversation based around hiding a crocodile in a tent wins points from me for having a unique sense of humour. Ash II is a new JRPG from Konami Digital featuring a band of adventurers setting forth to rid their land of the Corruption via Native Tribesmen, Sailors and Monks. Too much story later and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s been a long time since I’ve hated a game as much as I hate Winter Stars. The only reason this game hasn’t toppled Star Trek: Legacy from its top spot as worst game game ever played is that it’s a Kinect game and therefore had a much harder job to be great in the first place. Winter Stars has [...]

Tekken Hybrid sees three separate titles thrown into one bundle: a HD remake of the classic Tekken Tag Tournament, an early glimpse of its sequel with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue, and the 3D-CGI movie, Tekken: Blood Vengeance. At first, this seems like an impressive and valuable compilation, but once you sit down with the pack, you quickly realise that [...]

A couple of years ago, I asked id Software’s Creative Director Tim Willits why they were calling their new game “Rage”. He replied that it was simply in keeping with their previous titles, such as Doom and Quake. This is not the response that I was expecting. Not that I was hoping for a game based around unrepentant anger, but [...]

The Tower Defence genre has gotten a little stagnant. There’s very rarely a great amount of innovation. Somewhere along the line we collectively decided that you have a base near an enemy entry point where you’ll have to fortify buildings that help stave off encroaching hordes of nebulous monsters. It works, but when you’ve played one you’ve pretty much gotten [...]

Need For Speed: The Run sees EA Black Box (Skate 3, Need For Speed: ProStreet) take over development duties for the first time since 2008′s Need For Speed Undercover, in a cannonball-run chase across the United States from San Francisco to New York. The Run will see you take Jack Rourke – who owes a lot of money to the [...]
