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: Max: The Curse of Brotherhood

Does anybody remember platformer games? They’re the bread and butter of video games in my humble opinion but it’s been a while since I’ve sat down to enjoy one properly.

Review: Halo: Spartan Assault

Halo has been struggling to stay relevant in recent years. It needs to do something new and exciting to captivate audiences again...

Review: The Walking Dead: Season 2: Episode 1 – All That Remains

Prepare to be thrown in the deep-end as The Walking Dead: Season 2 amplifies the tragedy of its predecessor greatly even in this first episode.

Review: The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Even before I arrived at the cinema to watch Peter Jackson’s next foray into Middle-Earth, I was already thinking about The Two Towers. Perhaps my expectations were too high…

Review: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

How often do you hear people talk about awful The Legend of Zelda games? The answer to that question is: never.

Review: Yeti on Furry

Heading to iOS comes Yeti on Furry, a game that tasks you with defending a Yeti from baddies by tapping on the screen and switching between an array of attack powers.

Review: FIFA 14

I rely on EA’s yearly franchise to get my sporting highs on the couch – and I can thankfully report that FIFA 14 certainly achieves that, though surprisingly for a next-gen entry, loses something...

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.

Review: Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted

Don't rush to put them back in the zoo; these animals pose no danger to your wallet.

Review: Worms Collection

As a gamer you are probably, at least loosely, aware of the zany weapon turn based combat that is at the heart of all the games available in the Worms Collection. The disc based Collection consis...

Review: Rock Band Blitz

Unplugging the amplitude from the frequency. Does Harmonix's latest beat-matcher upset the rhythm?

Review: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

Transformers, more than meets the eye?

Review: Sleeping Dogs

The game feels like a giant love letter from developer United Front Games to the city of Hong Kong and the many action films its produced.
