Review: PlayStation 4

After seven years, PlayStation comes full circle. Read on for the BRB verdict of Sony's latest behemoth.

Review: Dead Rising 3

I have a love/hate relationship with Capcom games, the Dead Rising series is no exception to this...

Review: Ryse: Son of Rome

At a point around half way through the campaign - I paused Ryse and said out loud; "Am I playing the same game that everyone else reviewed?"

Review: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

From the same success of taking Star Wars, Batman, Lord of the Rings and more, combined with the childhood mega toy that is tiny bricks of plastic, comes LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.

Review: Velocity Ultra

FuturLab have decided to release Velocity Ultra on the Playstation 3, and I'm so happy they did.

Review: Tearaway

Releasing Tearaway now is either a show of the utmost confidence in Media Molecule and their latest offering or utter disregard for the game’s prospects – so which is it?

Review: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Despite the critical barbs thrown at the first Hunger Games movie, I still enjoyed it enough to look forward to this week’s release of the sequel, Catching Fire.

Contrast Review

Does Contrast shine in its newly-found place on PlayStation Plus' Instant Games Collection, or slink quietly into the shadows of gaming mediocrity?

Review: Baldur’s Gate I&II – Enhanced Editions

Playing the Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 is sort of like going to see a recently restored van Gogh. They're still stunning works of art, only now they run better and look a little bit...

Review: Rayman Fiesta Run

Following last year's highly fun and addictive mobile title Rayman Jungle Run comes Fiesta Run, an absolutely gorgeous auto-run platform title filled with inventive level designs and all the char...

Review: WWE 2K14

Much like previous games in the series, WWE 2K14 features a shiner coat of paint along with a roster update, but alongside its perfected assets comes enough new innovations to call long-term fans...

Review: A-Men 2

With the growth in the Vita’s library since the original A-Men helped launch the system, A-Men 2 aims to entice a larger audience.

Review: Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

I was extremely skeptical about Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. I feel that Ubisoft’s most favoured series slips in quality slightly with each instalment and I don’t think I could bear to see it...

Review: Journey of a Roach

If I was to choose a critter to be a game's protagonist, I'm not sure if a cockroach would be high on my list; yet Koboldgames seem to make it work.

Review: Hive (Board Game)

The perfect pub game, Hive is a satisfyingly chunky experience that can be taught in less than five minutes.

Review: Sound Shapes

Sound Shapes for the PS Vita and Playstation 3 may be simple, but it feels like they spent a lot of time making the game feel right before filling it with the rest of its mechanics.

Review: The Ratchet and Clank Trilogy

Whilst the current-gen series may have the upper-hand graphically, there’s very little to separate it from its trio of daddies - and this makes the trilogy an essential buy for those who missed o...

Inversion Review

It is hard to talk about Inversion without mentioning Gears of War. Gravity of War may have been a more apt title.

1953 KGB Unleashed Review

Point and click adventure games, once a king genre of PC games, has emerged again just lately as a contender for your hard earned cash. Can 1953: KGB Unleashed step into the ring?

Zuma’s Revenge Review

Zuma's Revenge is an iteration on the previous design and certainly is not looking to redefine the match-three style gameplay that made Zuma a simplistic gameplay success before it.

Heroes of Ruin Review

Ah, dungeon crawling. The heady loot-laden pastime of many a gamer; the knowledge that an improved, shiny and new bit of awesome may just be round the next corner has kept many a gamer away from ...

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Dawnguard Review

Dawnguard is the first of hopefully many "mini" expansions for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that adds a plethora of new things for your personal Dovahkiin to do.

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles HD Review

Umbrella Chronicles delivers the best meaty, decayed shot of on-rails shooting this side of House of the Dead: Overkill, and also boasts one of the best HD conversions yet seen on PS3.

Resistance: Burning Skies Review

The news that a brand new Resistance title was making its way to the Vita was met with a considerable amount of excitement; so what could go wrong? As it turns out, quite a lot.

Spec Ops: The Line Review

Spec Ops: The Line has a number of technical and mechanical problems but, unlike many other war-based shooters, has a meaningful, thoughtful story that is likely to stay with you.

Eager Beaver Review

Steady on, frisky. Apple hasn't loosened the App Store standards, for Eager Beaver deals not with up-for-it foo-foos but with the actual animals - or rather, one of them. This is a fun, functiona...

The Amazing Spider-Man Review

The Spider-Man 2 video game tie in was, to date, my favourite movie tie in game of all time, due to it's robust controls and overall gameplay. But Beenox now have a few Spidey titles under their ...

Diablo III Review

The Diablo games have been standards in hack-and-slash dungeon crawling since the release of the first game way back in January 1997. It's a game that many gamers, myself included, have lost many...

Mario Tennis Open Review

With England crashing out of the Euros last week and Wimbledon now in full swing, it's a more appropriate time to ask; Any Wario for tennis?

Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 Review

The Magic: the Gathering release of Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 brings more polish to the series and gets a release on iOS. Chris Shooter might have just found the perfect justification for a...
