  • Chinatown Wars
    Published Date: Oct 26, 2009

    Liberty City is one hell of a detailed place, although recreating that on a handheld has been no problem for Rockstar Leeds. The Nintendo DS version of the game has been a dream for reviewers, combining a wide array of elements to make it one of the most engaging experiences you can have on a porta...

  • Colin McRae DiRT 2
    Published Date: Sep 29, 2009

    The Colin McRae games have always been good value, combining everything from great visuals, engaging handling and a wide variety of vehicles and locations right down to the superb menu system from DiRT. This year the whole thing gets a welcome paint job and a fitting nod to the late McRae hi...

  • Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
    Published Date: Jul 4, 2009

    The planets have aligned for my review of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, although it certainly won’t save it from a brutal thrashing if it doesn’t turn out to be playable. I’ve just watched all three seasons of Deadwood and if that doesn’t whet the appetite for cowboy hats, I...

  • Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor
    Published Date: Apr 14, 2009

    “World War II is an overused setting for video games” is up there with “Michael Jackson is slightly odd” when it comes to understating the case. Although game designers are branching out a little since a few years ago, you still can’t step foot in a games shop without tripping over a verit...

  • Call of Duty 5: World at War
    Published Date: Nov 26, 2008

    There was a lot of hype leading up to the release of this game, and a lot to live up to. The decision makers at Activision have continued their policy of leapfrogging between Treyarch and Infinity Ward, and Treyarch were under pressure to deliver something special after the massive success of [i]Cal...

  • Crysis: Warhead
    Published Date: Oct 3, 2008

    To say the first Crysis was hotly anticipated is an understatement. As a platform-exclusive featuring what was touted as incredible gameplay and the most lifelike graphics yet, the game was saddled with the mantle of “saviour of PC gaming”, seemingly before any concept art had even been r...

  • Condemned 2: Bloodshot
    Published Date: Jun 1, 2008

    I didn’t play the original Condemned: Criminal Origins the first time around and I’m not sure why, perhaps because it was neither insanely brilliant or wincefully poor, and hence didn’t draw attention to itself as it snuck out into the market. But following the original’s well received appl...

  • Command and Conquer: Kane's Wrath
    Published Date: May 20, 2008

    The world is a ruined, bombed-out wasteland, with the scraps being fought over by militant religious extremists and a dogmatic, militaristic world power. Our choice of fuel, with which to power our modern lifestyles, has spelled the doom of our world, and raised the prospect of invasion. A madman in...
