Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent Published Date: Apr 4, 2007If you’ve never played Splinter Cell before, than at least you’ve surely seen some awesome stills from the series: A burly spy dangling overhead from exposed ceiling piping, barely visible in the shadows, a silenced gun in his extended and gloved hand. Or: A burly spy with night-vision goggles, ...

Scarface: The World is Yours Published Date: Apr 4, 2007Games based on movies, and movies based on games, are traditionally poor fare. Yes, yes, yes, there are a few exceptions to the rule (The Godfather isn’t bad at all), but generally, it’s true. Each normally depends on the other as its selling point, moving units because of a reputation as oppo...

Prey Published Date: Apr 4, 2007Believe it or not, but Prey, and the engine that drives it, has been in development (or limbo, depending on your outlook on such things) for almost a decade.

NASCAR 07 Published Date: Apr 4, 2007I have to admit that NASCAR 2007 is a special game. If you ask me why I think it’s so special, I’ll tell you. Unlike any other game, it didn’t wow me, blow my socks off, or flip my wig (if you will). Neither did it disappoint me, cause me to have a meltdown, or cause me to fall into hideous ...

LEGO Starwars 2: The Original Trilogy Published Date: Apr 4, 2007No doubt most of you reading this, like me, are HUGE Star Wars fans, at least fans of the original episodes 4, 5 and 6. If you are not a fan or haven’t seen them you really are incredibly strange and void of any real taste! They really do have something that appeals to everyone. Action, adventure,...

You know the ones, when the guy who is charge of the battalion of mind controlled clone super soldiers becomes possessed and sets them on a rampage for some strange (seemingly) demonic purpose? I mean, I know it only happens once or twic...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Published Date: Apr 4, 2007Take one part first person shooter, add three parts of role playing, two parts of amazing visuals, and one part of diverse storyline, put it in a tin called the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, give it a shake, and what have you got? The best adventure game ever made. A bold claim indeed, but one loo...

El Matador Published Date: Apr 4, 2007A new publishing house, a game with so many influences it’s almost criminal, and I don’t have much in the way of expectations as it loads up. A few minutes later and I’m running all over the place spraying bullets and discovering it’s actually a whole lot of fun. You play DEA officer Vic...

Dead Rising Published Date: Apr 4, 2007Have you ever wanted to run around a shopping mall, randomly slaughtering people every few metres without an annoying security guard coming along and kicking you out (I hate it when that happens)? For those of you who have answered yes, which I would assume is everyone, Deadrising is the closest thi...
