  • Heavy Rain
    Published Date: Mar 2, 2010

    When a developer like Quantic Dream comes along and tries to forge new ground in the search for success in the realm of gaming, you have to pay attention, and give credit where it’s due. In that respect, Heavy Rain is certainly an achievement, and often it’s an emotionally gripping exper...

  • Heroes over Europe
    Published Date: Oct 13, 2009

    Early impressions suggest that it has risen to the challenge. The WWII authenticity is assisted by grainy footage from the era before missions, and even the load screens resemble something from a 1940’s postcard. Missions set in the countryside are beautifully designed, with snowy hilltops and be...

  • Halo 3: ODST
    Published Date: Sep 29, 2009

    Bungie have been riding the Halo wave that they created, one that has seen millions fall in love with the online multiplayer and a community that is vibrant and forever populated. It has one of the biggest online followings, and players in their millions enjoy flinging sticky grenades at each other...

  • Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
    Published Date: Jul 30, 2009

    You know the drill. Big movie comes out, big game follows, game heads straight to bargain bin. It’s as proven a formula as Infinity Ward + CoD > Treyarch + CoD. And once again it happens, as Harry Potter and company ignore the bulk of the latest movie to run incessantly around Hogwarts collecti...

  • Halo Wars
    Published Date: Mar 21, 2009

    It’s not going to be easy to say that this is a fitting end for the end of the Halo brand, so I’m not. I’m in the same boat as millions of others in saying that I was a fan of each of the games at the time, and gave enough of my life to the multiplayer modes that I’m about as much of an exp...

  • Hellboy: Science of Evil
    Published Date: Sep 24, 2008

    I'm sort of shocked, because I got Hellboy on the PS3 to review but insisted that I go and see the latest movie before I played it, thereby giving myself a broader range of material on which to write, then realised it's not a movie tie-in. Perhaps the two different names was an indicator. But ...

  • Haze
    Published Date: Jun 9, 2008

    How the suits at Sony’s marketing department must be scratching their beleaguered heads, as the platform-exclusive Haze landed a few weeks ago and has already been sliding towards the bargain bin. It’s a situation that needs close examination, because Haze isn’t just a disappointment becaus...

  • Halo 3
    Published Date: Jan 23, 2008

    Master Chief’s return to our TV screens has been anticipated more than most title releases that I can remember. Suitably respected throughout the industry for its combination of elements like sound and graphics, coupled with the well-scripted storyline, Halo 3 is back, with a bang, and as soon as...

  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoeni
    Published Date: Jul 25, 2007

    Certain things are simply not surprising. Dogs like bones, nice cars are expensive, and big-name, youth-targeted movie releases are accompanied by a spate of marketing add-ons and tie-ins: figurines, clothing and, more often than not as of late, video games. What is surprising, though, is when one o...
