  • Forza Motorsport 3
    Published Date: Oct 30, 2009

    Gliding over the crest of a hill in a Lamborghini Murcielago, barely clinging to the tarmac as momentum lifts the car for a moment, and then the vista comes into view, a marvellously recreated piece of the Japanese countryside, with a mountain lake on the left and a forested valley on the right, is ...

  • FIFA 10
    Published Date: Oct 20, 2009

    Recreating the beautiful game is no mean feat, and despite a fanbase in the tens of millions globally, only two real pedigrees exist in this genre. It’s an unusual statistic considering the potential audience, but making a football game isn’t easy. It’s taken the two different camps years of...

    Published Date: Jul 6, 2009

    Like Lachlan said recently, there’s nothing exciting about sitting around waiting for EA to release its latest cash cow in any particular sport. Not normally, but EA have been making big steps with most of its sport games, most notably FIFA, and Fight Night 4 has also been given a w...

    Oh, Codemasters, what have you done? HellBored Towers often ignites at the mention of a new Codies-published racing game, but alas, like everything in life, the good times have come to an end. What could have been awesome is merely mundane, and while the sheer depth of racing options will reward t...

  • F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin
    Published Date: Feb 16, 2009

    As one of the first games produced by Warner Bros Interactive you can bet that the production values for this are going to be high, and they are. The game is long, with plenty of combat to wade through before your finale, and moving away from the corridor crawling of the debut title should help bre...

  • Fallout 3
    Published Date: Nov 13, 2008

    Taking something old and making it new again is never an easy thing, if you’ve ever watched a documentary on rebuilding hot rods or classic cars. It’s not just enough to have the bones of something great, you need to have a team that can make the magic happen. Fallout 3 demanded that ...

    Published Date: Nov 3, 2008

    Video games are strange things, because while they can certainly whisk gamers off to another world for a few hours of fantasy in a distant, fictitious land, their very existence is the opposite of that ideal. Whether it is scripted gameplay, an ordered approach to progression through a title, or pa...

  • Far Cry 2
    Published Date: Oct 28, 2008

    Far Cry is an unusual series. It’s unusual because it has two separate groups of followers – those that bumped into it in an overcrowded bar filled with all shapes and sizes of FPSs, was impressed by its stunning beauty but never saw it again. Then there are the console friends, who hav...

    Published Date: Oct 17, 2008

    In the run up to Christmas there are many things that will sparkle in the game store to get your attention. Despite possibly not being all that it could have been, Fracture still has elements worth experiencing. Frontlines: Fuel of War was a reasonable stab at the online combat gen...

  • FIFA 09
    Published Date: Oct 15, 2008

    Me and the FIFA series have history, and lately I’ve been rather underwhelmed by it all, but FIFA 09 has reignited my fondness for the biggest football game in the world. The game has been overhauled with a new physics engine and the realism factor is cranked up quite a bit, and while not ...
