Review: Monkey Mofo

Monkey Mofo tests your reflexes and planning abilities while also providing plenty of puzzles to overcome but you have to be willing to overlook a lot of problems.

Review: The LEGO Movie

By the end of The LEGO Movie, I was wiping away tears and before anybody questions my masculinity, these were tears I shed due to laughing so hard during the previous 100 or so minutes.

Review: RoboCop

The good news is that José Padilha’s take on what is essentially a modernised, or rather future-ised, retelling of the Frankenstein story does not tread over the old ground of the original

Review: Jazzpunk

I desperately want to tell you every single thing that happens in Jazzpunk, because the greatest way to sell it would be to list off the events of just a five minute chunk of the action.

Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2 – Smoke and Mirrors

After an almost four month long absence, The Wolf Among Us returns with things getting murkier and murkier in Fabletown.

Review: Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z

Flying warriors waging battle and firing lasers from their hands whilst keeping their hair spiky? Must be Dragon Ball Z!

Review: Surge Deluxe

“Come on man! Just one more line. That’s all I need! Look at all the colours man. I just need my fix. All I want to do is relieve some pressure. Please?”

Review: Lone Survivor

At times gung-ho, at others an uncompromising look at the lives of those in service, Lone Survivor is one of the most visceral movies I have ever seen.

Review: Mario Party: Island Tour

I'd never played a Mario Party game before Mario Party: Island Tour. To some that statement could come as a surprise and to others it could be a sign of heresy.

Review: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst

I wanted to see how it actually was as a game, and not a piece of fan service. And I have to be honest, I was not as disappointed as I was expecting to be, in fact, I was quite impressed.

Review: OlliOlli

Whatever frustrations or moments of elation you feel while playing it, OlliOlli can almost always be described as one thing - fun.

Review: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

While Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit doesn’t solely rely on shoot-outs and car chases for thrills, it does fall back on the Bond- and Bourne-isms too often to leave the movie untarnished.

Review: Teslagrad

Combining 2D platforming, mind boggling puzzles and beautiful visuals comes Teslagrad. Oh and Magnets too!

Review: A Study In Emerald (Board Game)

Martin Wallace’s trademark abstraction means A Study In Emerald only pays lip-service to its Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu theme but delivers a deeply strategic experience regardless.

Review: Risk Legacy (Board Game)

The unique DIY mechanics of Risk Legacy distract from Risk’s core gameplay long enough to make it fun.

Review: ZombiU

Prior to the american release of ZombiU, I had no interest in it whatsoever. Then it came out and people whose opinions I respect started making comparisons to Dark Souls...

Review: Virtua Fighter 2

It was undoubtedly a technical marvel in its day, but my defining memories of Virtua Fighter 2 were of a very unforgiving arcade machine.

Review: Ratchet & Clank QForce

All at once, several times throughout, QForce comes so close to impressing, and sinks itself on every occasion.

Review: Halo 4

It's crazy to think that Halo 4 is the first game that 343 Industries has ever developed, bar one HD remake. If ever a game developer had some big shoes to fill, this would indeed be it.

Review: F1 Race Stars

F1 2012's baby brother is an intense sugar-rush of rainbow-palette karting joy, if a little lacking in variety. PLUS: Comment on the article to win a copy of the game!

Review: LittleBigPlanet Karting

Start your fuzzy engines for United Front and Media Molecule's weird marriage of Modnation and Sackboy. Is LBP Karting a Frankenstein's monster or a glorious new baby?

Review: Dead Or Alive 5

I like boobs as much as the next man, but have always felt the need to qualify my appreciation of DOA; "I like it for the fighting engine! Honestly!"

Review: Assassin’s Creed III

Assassin’s Creed III is one of the most highly anticipated titles of the year; it’s also one of the most controversial if you live on my side of the pond. So does the game manage to weave a deft,...

Review: Football Manager 2013

Football Manager and I use to be blissfully married, in an addictive, sometimes abusive, relationship that often ventured in to the destructive. Just when I thought I was out, they drag me back i...

Review: Sports Champions 2

The Move's best game gets a sequel that strips away the sterility and introduces sports you've actually heard of.

Review: Kumo Lumo

The world's first "rain-em-up" is a charming and fully-featured free iOS game. Just don't rush through the downpour!

Review: Aqua Kitty – Milk Mine Defender

What would you do when faced with a worldwide milk shortage? Yes, that’s right, send cats underwater to mine for the glorious, nutritious and downright tasty white stuff.

Review: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 Expansion 1 DLC

In between waiting for Magic the Gathering 2013 cards to arrive in the post, Chris Shooter has been playing the new expansion pack for Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 on the Xbox...and PC....and ...

Review: F1 2012

Formula 1 is a glamorous sport that is, I’m sure you’ll agree, difficult to recreate if you’re sat on a couch in a 2-bed flat. So does F1 2012 manage to recreate the exciting highs and lows of th...

Review: Dishonored

Stealth, assassinations and super natural powers. These are things that Dishonored does really, really well.
