Majesty 2 Published Date: Sep 27, 2009The first Majesty was a sleeper hit for the PC. Coming out in 2000, the fantasy game looked a little dated even when compared to titles that preceded it like Homeworld and Deus Ex. However, slightly below-par graphics couldn’t detract from some well-implemented ideas and addictive game mech...

Need for Speed Shift Published Date: Sep 22, 2009The Need for Speed series is one that has scaled the peaks of greatness and plumbed the depths of utter mediocrity. A few years ago the brand was synonymous with success, but EA didn’t so much give up that crown as suffer some form of Britney Spears-like meltdown and fall apart. The publisher th...

IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Published Date: Sep 16, 2009As a general rule of thumb, flying games are much better suited to the PC platform than console, resulting in a pretty small amount of flying games being made for playing on the living room TV. Despite not having the same sort of level of input options available to its PC counterparts, [i]IL2 Sturm...

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Published Date: Sep 15, 2009Sacred 2 has had a later release in Australia than in other regions so we were late getting our hands on a copy, and when we did, it was for the PS3. Playing through to level 18 proved an increasingly difficult path, but not because the game challenged me with its content, but with its deliv...

Batman: Arkham Asylum Published Date: Sep 4, 2009Every year there lands a smattering of superhero games onto the general marketplace, and most of them are there for a reason, primarily because there’s a movie out but also because all of them attempt to offer something else, the chance to feel like you’re controlling a piece of comic history. ...

Ashes Cricket 2009 Published Date: Aug 18, 2009The problem with sports games is that they struggle to recreate the intensity and passion of the real life event, with the result being a stilted and hollow experience, unless you’ve had the benefit of making the same game for a decade, over and over. Considering cricket, to a non-fan, has neithe...

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Published Date: Jul 30, 2009You know the drill. Big movie comes out, big game follows, game heads straight to bargain bin. It’s as proven a formula as Infinity Ward + CoD > Treyarch + CoD. And once again it happens, as Harry Potter and company ignore the bulk of the latest movie to run incessantly around Hogwarts collecti...
