  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • Borderlands
    Published Date: Nov 5, 2009

    Those of us who review games for a living tend to fall into the same predictable cycle – you play games a lot, most of which you’re glad to leave behind for the next big thing, but occasionally one comes along that keeps you up late at night and occupies your mind more than others. This becomes...

  • Beaterator
    Published Date: Nov 3, 2009

    This is not a game. It’s not a game at all. It’s a remarkably deep, feature-packed portable music creation tool of truly surprising power. Which must lead one to wonder, finally, why is it on (arguably) the wimpiest of all consoles, the PSP? Rockstar Leeds ([i]GTA: Chinatown Wars, Rockstar G...

  • Brutal Legend
    Published Date: Oct 22, 2009

    Brutal Legend is one of those games that come out, perhaps once or twice a generation, which has the power to mesmerise with its construction, composition and execution. Blending a plethora of genres together with an absolutely crunching soundtrack and some of the sharpest, wittiest dialogue seen i...

  • Batman: Arkham Asylum
    Published Date: Sep 4, 2009

    Every 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. ...

  • Battlefield 1943
    Published Date: Jul 15, 2009

    As far as massive, online war-gaming goes, the Battlefield series is the biggest and has the best pedigree, bar none. You may not fully appreciate that if a 360 or PS3 is your first gaming machine, but PC gamers have been running amok across the World War II and subsequent landscapes since 2002, ba...

  • Blood Bowl
    Published Date: Jun 30, 2009

    A few weeks ago, I remarked to my editor over a few beers just how tired I am of always spending the first few paragraphs of every review talking about which series or franchise a particular game ties into. So when a title like Blood Bowl comes along it’s refreshing not because this is a br...

  • Battlestations: Pacific
    Published Date: Jun 3, 2009

    Going back into the Battlestations melting pot of genres should appeal to most fans of either WWII combat with a twist or those that like to get hands on in their strategy play, and while the overall level of polish has been ramped up, you still need to spend considerable time getting to grip...
