Review: Call of Duty: Ghosts

It appears to be that time of year once again, and no, I’m not talking about Christmas being just around the corner. It's Call of Duty time.

Review: Gravity

Every now and then, I read movie reviews which make mention of a ‘cinematic experience’ - Gravity earns said accolade.

Review: Pokémon X and Y

How time flies. It seemed like only yesterday I was trying to catch all 150 Pokémon in the original Pokémon Red and Blue versions...

Review: Batman: Arkham Origins

Set five years before Batman: Arkham Asylum, this third game in the series chronicles the story of a younger, rougher Batman who has yet to gain the polish of his older and wiser self.

Review: Proteus

Proteus is a surreal exploration game developed by Ed Key and David Kanaga, and ported by Curve Studios, which may not actually be a game.

Review: Thor: The Dark World

Thor: The Dark World succeeds in expanding the Marvel universe without losing the humour and fun that made its predecessor such a treat.

Review: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate ticks all of the 'home-console-to-mobile' port boxes – and in doing so, has become one of my favourite games in the series.

Review: Rocksmith 2014 Edition

Heavy Rock dinosaur Chris Shooter checks out the latest iteration of Ubisoft's Rocksmith

Review: Grand Theft Auto V

With the biggest map of any Rockstar game, an emphasis on executing heists and the largest selection of vehicles available, this is one Grand Theft Auto that definitely lives up to its name.

Review: Football Manager 2014

Fergie is gone, Mourinho is back, and the Premier League looks more open than it has since its inception. Amidst all this chaos, in walks someone new. This is Football Manager 2014.

Review: Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut

Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut feels right at home on the Vita. Throw on some nice headphones, turn off all the lights, and curl up into a ball as you get lost in this game.

Review: Ender’s Game

The good news is that Gavin Hood’s Ender’s Game adaptation mostly succeeds. The bad news is that I included the word ‘mostly’ in the last sentence.

Review: Beyond Two Souls

Beyond: Two Souls is the latest creation of Quantic Dream and much like the titles before it plays more like an interactive movie than a traditional video game title.

Review: Magic the Gathering – Theros

Chris Shooter takes a look at the new Magic the Gathering block - Theros and checks out the new Event Deck.

Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 – Faith

The first episode of Telltale Games' new game, The Wolf Among Us, suggests it is following The Walking Dead's path to success.

Disco Kitten Review

There are great iOS games, and then there is Disco Kitten. There’s little to be said other than the game being a victim of its own potential innovation, which fails to embrace any qualities other...

Lollipop Chainsaw Review

Juliet Starling has had a strange upbringing. She may be a popular pom-pom waving cheerleader at San Romero High School, but those strawberry blonde pig tails hide a dark family secret.

DiRT Showdown Review

Our review of DiRT 3's fast and loose cousin: stripped of the pencil skirt, garnished in fake tan and ready to party.

Awesomenauts Review

Cue the silhouette of six zany, ice-cold creatures looking cool for the camera as the high-pitched theme song singers wail "Awesome!" over the montage. And then everything explodes.

Mortal Kombat Review

Mortal Kombat has been around the block more than a few times and recently returned to form with last year's truly excellent reboot of the series; however, how has the Vita version fared? Is it ...

Fable Heroes Review

Fable Heroes is a complete departure from the series norm, being a cutesy side-scrolling hack and slash title. So has Lionhead's brave design decision paid off?

Trials Evolution Review

Trials HD was a game that, despite a difficulty curve that often resulted in defenestration of your controller, was one of the best offerings that XBLA had to offer. So, does Trials Evolution imp...

The Walking Dead: Episode 1 – A New Day Review

Robert Kirkman's cult comic series has been on the rise over the past few years, and The Walking Dead is Telltale's greatest achievement to date.

Review: Lock ‘n’ Load

Lock, load, jam. This iOS twin-stick shooter misfires on all counts, and boasts a shockingly uncouth attitude to in-app purchases.

Review The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings – Enhanced Edition Review

Familiarity with the first game in the series (or the original source material) may add to your enjoyment of the story, but it should not be considered a prerequisite.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations Review

Fighting games and I have had a rocky relationship over the years and we haven’t really seen eye to eye since Mortal Kombat 3...

Wheels of Destruction Review

Have a read of our review of Gelid Games' PSN-exclusive vehicular combat game. Can Unreal Engine tech and a decent price make up for the lack of creativity?

Ridge Racer Unbounded Review

In recent times developers of arcade racing games have been a split second away from blurring their company out of existence. The Ridge Racer series has always traditionally benefited from...

Calibur11 Mass Effect 3 Vault Review

Every now and then, an awesome franchise like Mass Effect comes along – and with such a franchise, an anorak of die-hard collectors promptly springs up, ready and eager to buy just about anything...

Wipeout 2048 Review

The Wipeout name has been synonymous with Sony's gaming platforms since they got into the industry. And with their new handheld platform being released last month, they decided that a new Wipeout...
