  • 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. ...

    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...

  • Dragon Age: Origins
    Published Date: Nov 16, 2009

    I’ve got a history, one that comes complete with beards, Dungeons & Dragons and cheap cider. I’ve spent the better part of a decade pretending those years didn’t happen, but when the lights go down and I sit in the dull glow of my TV, I’m rather partial to skulking through a dungeon with my...

    If you had told me 10 years ago that people in the millions would spend their time clutching miniature guitars and playing along to all kinds of music - from Slayer to Willie Nelson - then I would have laughed right in your face and called you an idiot. I would also have been very wrong, because as...

  • Dawn of Discovery
    Published Date: Jun 29, 2009

    Anno 1404, or Dawn of Discovery as it is being marketed in North America, is a game that combines economic simulation, city-building and real-time strategy. This probably doesn’t sound overly exciting to gamers looking for the next Grizzled Space Marines in Space Part 7 twitch...

  • Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2
    Published Date: Apr 25, 2009

    A couple of things need to be noted here. First, people that have played any previous Dynasty games are used to massive battles. Secondly, the word Gundam implies massive machines, bristling with weaponry, ready for war. And thirdly, a smattering of names on a turd doesn’t make it any le...

  • Destroy all Humans: Path of the Furon
    Published Date: Feb 19, 2009

    Very few games put you in the position of being an alien hell bent on murdering the Human species and even fewer still make the alien a rather likeable little character who’s actually the good guy throughout. Destroy all Humans: Path of the Furon is the fourth in the series from THQ an...

  • Dead Space
    Published Date: Nov 6, 2008

    I don’t know if I’m really in the right frame of mind to write this review. I don’t know, to tell you the truth, if this is all real, or some kind of terrible dream. My vision is blurred, my hands are shaky, I feel dizzy, uneasy, and what’s that smell? Oh, I see, I’ve shit myself. Again. I...

    Published Date: Oct 14, 2008

    For the most part, puzzle games prove too preference-peculiar to garner wide approval. Puzzle games need to be as addictive as crack, and to that end a crack palate is strangely refined taste: not everyone wants to hit the rock. Platforms, on the other hand, seem well suited to almost any taste, pro...

  • Don King presents Prizefighter
    Published Date: Aug 2, 2008

    It’s probably fair to say that the glory days of boxing have passed us by; when as a kid I’d stay up until 4am to see Tyson hammer someone around the ring. The failure of boxing to capture the imagination of the masses also might have something to do with the rise of UFC and mixed martial arts ...
