  • 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...

  • Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
    Published Date: Apr 3, 2008

    As readers of my reviews may know by now, I’m quite vocal about my criticisms of the World War II genre as a setting for games after I’d landed on Omaha beach something like 2,455,608 times. And here I sit, typing up a review of the latest instalment of the series that has most abused that sett...

    Published Date: Feb 18, 2008

    Today’s digital super soldiers rarely catch a break. When they’re not being called upon to fight zombie Nazis in a dystopian future, they’re fending off alien invasions or battling the undead in some ghoulish netherworld. They’re on the front lines day in, day out, battling through rooms ful...

  • CSI: Hard Evidence
    Published Date: Jan 29, 2008

    I asked the powers that be at Hellbored if I could have a look at this, because I like the TV show. I mean I like CSI: Las Vegas, not CSI: New York where one of the team has such big hair that she must certainly cover crime scenes with her strands and become a suspect in every crime she goes to; an...

  • Chulip
    Published Date: Jul 31, 2007

    After a multitude of supposed release dates having come and gone over the past three years, Chulip was finally released on Valentine’s Day 2007 in the US. Many were surprised: Kissing simulation games are not one of the most well-known or well financed of video game genres over here in the state...

    Published Date: Jul 23, 2007

    Sometimes I sit at home and think to myself, what a wonderful world, and what a wonderful home I have. But do you know what would make it even nicer? I mean, other than a pole dancers stage and possibly a bumper car track? Yep, you guessed it, a bunch of dead animal heads mounted on my wall and m...

    Published Date: Jul 23, 2007

    I am an Ozzie. I have never seen snow, never felt snow, nor been colder than that chill you get when you down your first cold one on a warm summers day! Needless to say, I have no doubt that snow and I would mix like George Bush and Kim Jong Il! However, having said that, the cold and icy regions o...
