  • MAG
    Published Date: Feb 25, 2010

    Anyone who has played any of the major FPS titles in recent years will have been looking forward to the release of MAG, the Massive Action Game. Zipper Interactive designed a title that promised to knock Modern Warfare 2 right off its lofty perch and redefine how couch-based sol...

  • Mass Effect 2
    Published Date: Feb 7, 2010

    As the second of a trilogy, Mass Effect 2 has some work to do. It must continue the saga of Commander Shepard and allow players who have completed Mass Effect to move seamlessly into the second portion of the story, while also remaining open enough to allow the people that compete [i]Mass Ef...

  • Modern Warfare 2
    Published Date: Nov 17, 2009

    The pressure of expectation can so often lead to disappointment, when the relentless hype machine sets a bar that reality has a hard time reaching. You could take Too Human, or the Star Wars prequels, as a case in point. As many reviewers tore through Modern Warfare 2 in a bid...

  • Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
    Published Date: Oct 13, 2009

    Typically in any game it’s the graphics and the realism that are commented on first. Ultimate Alliance 2, in a move unique for a super hero game, provides its strength in both the storyline and the acting, attributes that combine to make this a cut above the rest in an already crowded genre...

  • Majesty 2
    Published Date: Sep 27, 2009

    The first Majesty was a sleeper hit for the PC. Coming out in 2000, the fantasy game looked a little dated even when compared to titles that preceded it like Homeworld and Deus Ex. However, slightly below-par graphics couldn’t detract from some well-implemented ideas and addictive game mech...

  • Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planes
    Published Date: Jun 23, 2009

    Magic: The Gathering is a successful card game, no doubt about that. The method of drawing from your deck, laying defensive and offensive plans and trying to whittle your opponent down from 20 life to zero has always been entertainment, although mainly for the people that have invested time and mon...

  • Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe
    Published Date: Dec 24, 2008

    Video game crossovers are by no means a new or rare thing. We had Robocop facing down the Terminator on the early Sega Mega drive. More recently we’ve seen Mario and Sonic go head to head at the Olympics and the superheroes from the Marvel universe battling the characters from Capcom’s creations...

    Published Date: Nov 17, 2008

    Being a game reviewer, it’s hard not to become overly cynical about things, but it happens. After reviewing 10 games that are set in a bleak, distant world where caves and ruins are the landscape, it’s hard to imagine that there are any developers out there trying to do something innovative, so...

  • MySims Kingdom
    Published Date: Nov 14, 2008

    The world of Sims is a strange, strange place for both the unacquainted and the chemically balanced. Here is a parallel universe, populated by zombie-like creatures—or, as they are known in our world, suburbanites—doing mundane, middle-class tasks: earning, buying, building, and busying. And whi...

  • Midnight Club: Los Angeles
    Published Date: Nov 3, 2008

    There is no doubt at all about the popularity of racing games on consoles – Gran Turismo, Forza, Project Gotham – but the other side of the spectrum, the ones based on roads, hasn’t fared so well of late. Need for Speed shot itself in the foot by taking itself off the roads for...
