  • Heavy Rain
    Published Date: Mar 2, 2010

    When a developer like Quantic Dream comes along and tries to forge new ground in the search for success in the realm of gaming, you have to pay attention, and give credit where it’s due. In that respect, Heavy Rain is certainly an achievement, and often it’s an emotionally gripping exper...

  • Aliens vs Predator
    Published Date: Mar 1, 2010

    Twenty years ago Danny Glover, bloody and battered, wandered into a Predator trophy room and viewers glimpsed the Xenomorph skull hanging on the wall, kicking off the cult following that would pit two of Hollywood’s nastiest incarnations against each other. The Alien vs Predator phenomenon has spa...

  • BioShock 2
    Published Date: Feb 16, 2010

    To save myself from rehashing at length the various perspectives of a BioShock sequel, let me try and cram it into a few words. Was BioShock a game that needed a sequel, or was it a release that should have been left alone for those of us who have experienced it to think fondly on tha...

  • Dante's Inferno
    Published Date: Feb 11, 2010

    There must be something in the air. As they say with buses, you wait for ages and then three come along at once. Or two, although you get my point. Dante’s Inferno is the third button-mashing title to arrive in a little over a month, and it has some tough competition to do battle with. ...

  • Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-stars
    Published Date: Feb 11, 2010

    When did fighting games become a niche thing? When I was growing up everyone was playing Street Fighter II, but I guess the world moved on. The Western World moved on, anyway, or moved in, to be precise. Back In The Day it was ALL Japanese, but where there’s money there will be America. At ...

  • 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...
