  • Splinter Cell: Conviction
    Published Date: Apr 20, 2010

    Sam Fisher is back, and he’s in a bad mood. A really, really bad mood. Three years since he abandoned Third Echelon after the events in Double Agent and he’s reluctantly pulled back into that world upon hearing fresh news of his daughter’s killer. His story will bring him face to fac...

  • Just Cause 2
    Published Date: Apr 19, 2010

    Just Cause 2 has done one thing, other than provide me with hours and hours of destructive fun: it’s reaffirmed my faith in the whole notion of sequels, with Avalanche Studios displaying an ability to listen to critics and tweak their product to suit the customers. The thing is, the develo...

  • Red Dead Redemption multiplayer hands-on
    Published Date: Apr 12, 2010

    I don’t think there are many people out there that would argue with the notion that Rockstar are the kings of the open world environment, with a long line of contenders offering their features but sliding slowly into obscurity. So when the Rockstar boffins say they are ‘presenting the next step...

  • Metro 2033
    Published Date: Apr 5, 2010

    Just what the world needed, another gloomy FPS, and coming from Russian developers, it paints a distressing picture of life after nuclear fallout in Moscow. At the rate games like these hit the market, one really has to be good to stand out from another, and unfortunately Metro 2033 doesn't ...

  • Red Steel 2
    Published Date: Apr 2, 2010

    This thing needs a tag line, I’m thinking: Red Steel 2: The Aspirationalist, or Red Steel 2: The Underwhelmening. I’m still not sure... One thing’s for sure, this Wii Motion Plus thing works. You’ve really got to swing it now, trying to get through this game in two days near...

  • Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
    Published Date: Mar 24, 2010

    As much as I was prepared for this game to be a soulless, creatively bankrupt, lacklustre knock-off of the Mario Kart franchise, I must admit to a certain wonder, a certain temptation-to-believe, a certain – dare I say it – hope. After all, this is SEGA we’re talking about, these...

  • God of War III
    Published Date: Mar 22, 2010

    You know a game has asserted itself as top of its genre when any other game that uses similar mechanics is released and finds itself slapped with a X-clone label. The God of War series is one of those games. The start of 2010 saw three similar titles released, and although Bayonetta was mor...

  • Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising
    Published Date: Mar 22, 2010

    The Warhammer 40,000 universe has always been a mess of contradictions. It’s probably the most outwardly ridiculous franchise that also demands to be taken completely seriously, pitting religious fundamentalist super-soldiers against a demonic menace and various high-tech Tolkien cast-offs....

  • Battlefield: Bad Company 2
    Published Date: Mar 12, 2010

    Whether or not you got that giddy feeling like a mid-March burst of Christmas cheer, perhaps resulting in a resistance to sleep the night before this arrived, will probably depend on whether you rocked out with Battlefield 1942 and other subsequent releases on PC before getting on with [i]Bad...

  • Supreme Commander 2
    Published Date: Mar 11, 2010

    The RTS genre has been around for the best part of two decades, and for all the innovations in game play and graphics, it always seems like somebody hasn’t gotten the memo. Despite a few concessions to modernity, Supreme Commander 2 has sprung fully-formed from a portal to the late-nineties...
