  • Red Dead Redemption
    Published Date: May 31, 2010

    I feel like I’ve known Red Dead Redemption all its life, watching it from hands-off impressions almost a year ago to the final product landing at retail. Having seen it three times at different stages of its development cycle, one could be forgiven for believing there would be a sense of a...

  • Red Dead Redemption multiplayer hands-on
    Published Date: Apr 12, 2010

    I don’t think there are many people out there that would argue with the notion that Rockstar are the kings of the open world environment, with a long line of contenders offering their features but sliding slowly into obscurity. So when the Rockstar boffins say they are ‘presenting the next step...

  • Red Steel 2
    Published Date: Apr 2, 2010

    This thing needs a tag line, I’m thinking: Red Steel 2: The Aspirationalist, or Red Steel 2: The Underwhelmening. I’m still not sure... One thing’s for sure, this Wii Motion Plus thing works. You’ve really got to swing it now, trying to get through this game in two days near...

  • Red Dead Redemption - preview
    Published Date: Dec 19, 2009

    Note: This was written from a hands-off preview Rockstar walked us through, it is not a review of the final product. Gamestats.com has listed this in its reviews section - please be advised that it is a preview only. As a sequel to Red Dead Revolver, released in 2004, [i]Red Dead R...

  • Rogue Warrior
    Published Date: Dec 1, 2009

    NOTE: This review contains lots of foul language. Most of it is in quotes from the game so we don’t mind that, but it poisoned our minds and we ended up doing it too. This holiday season, things are progressing rather differently than in any year previous. The arrival of [i]Mode...

  • Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Tim
    Published Date: Nov 13, 2009

    Admittedly the series of Ratchet & Clank games were new to me so when I started playing the latest one from Insomniac Games I knew very little about the concept. At first the game seemed to me like a cartoony - almost childish - title but after a little exposure to the two characters the game...

  • Red Faction: Guerrilla
    Published Date: Jun 12, 2009

    Free roam games are like buses, you know, you wait ages for one and then three come at once. And three have arrived in the last week, but Red Faction Guerrilla has something the others don’t, and that’s an off world environment. While both inFamous and Prototype let you ...

  • Resident Evil 5
    Published Date: Mar 17, 2009

    15 console games, 3 mobile phone games, online fan clubs, novels, comics, and four movies. Resident Evil at this stage is almost a byword to be used for when the dead just don’t have the decency to stay dead – or human for that matter. Welcome to Resident Evil 5. To even attempt...

  • Rock Band 2
    Published Date: Jan 10, 2009

    Rock Band was truly amazing. It took all the ideas from Sing Star and Guitar Hero, and added drums for an exceptional gaming experience. But now Guitar Hero has got drums, the unique selling point of Rock Band has been eroded, and the competition between the Activi...

  • Red Alert 3
    Published Date: Dec 29, 2008

    The Command and Conquer series is an unusual one, going from revered God of strategy games to mediocre, forgettable stuff. The original and Red Alert are still the two best in the series, but after many years of wandering around the wilderness with Generals and even the lacklust...
