  • Mass Effect 2
    Published Date: Feb 7, 2010

    As the second of a trilogy, Mass Effect 2 has some work to do. It must continue the saga of Commander Shepard and allow players who have completed Mass Effect to move seamlessly into the second portion of the story, while also remaining open enough to allow the people that compete [i]Mass Ef...

  • Army of Two: The 40th Day
    Published Date: Jan 24, 2010

    There's something about co-op gameplay that I really enjoy, where you can try and employ specific tactics to achieve an objective rather than being called a lolfag every two minutes while half your team teleports across the map because of chronic lag issues. There is something about two or four peo...

  • Greed: Black Border
    Published Date: Jan 19, 2010

    If recent trends in entertainment are anything to go by, exploring deep space is going to involve dealing with an awful lot of zombies, giant bugs, and strange combinations of the two. Greed: Black Border is the latest title to jump on this particular bandwagon, but unfortunately this science...

  • Darksiders
    Published Date: Jan 18, 2010

    It sounds like such fun – play as War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, as he hunts down a range of demons that 100 years ago tricked him into causing a battle between Heaven and Hell, resulting in the destruction of all humanity. The world lies in ruin; the Charred Council - who contr...

  • Bayonetta
    Published Date: Jan 10, 2010

    So Bayonetta has finally arrived, after months and months of anticipated groaning from the mainstream gaming press. Rarely has a game raised under-collar temperatures so much, and fans of skintight black suits and lollipops will be thrilled. The basic story is this: you play as Bayonetta,...

  • The Saboteur
    Published Date: Jan 5, 2010

    I’ve always wondered why video game characters from Ireland are thin on the ground. That’s because I happen to be Irish, and I think the foul mouthed, drunken stereotype would suit gaming well, at least occasionally. It also happens that I’m right, because playing as protagonist Sean Devlin ...

  • King Arthur
    Published Date: Dec 21, 2009

    The world of Arthurian legends has long been fertile ground for fiction. While some have turned the story and setting into little more than a soap opera, other interpretations have used the tales of the “Once and Future King” as a means of exploring ancient Britain, in particular the morality, m...

  • Red Dead Redemption - preview
    Published Date: Dec 19, 2009

    As a sequel to Red Dead Revolver, released in 2004, Red Dead Redemption might very well hold the title of Longest Development Time for a Sequel, although it’s true that the various Rockstar studios around the world have been cranking out other titles in the meantime. The long window...

  • LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Cont
    Published Date: Dec 17, 2009

    There is no denying that Lego games based on successful movies will have an audience. The problem with Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is that it is essentially a clone of the other Lego games and while evidence exists that Traveller’s Tales made some attempts to enhance the g...

  • Assassin's Creed II
    Published Date: Dec 3, 2009

    When it comes to making a sequel, there’s a list of things that need to be looked at, but perhaps that one word scribbled across the top of the white board in thick black marker is the most important word of all – Improvements. By and large, a sequel that doesn’t improve on some of the predec...
