  • Wolfenstein
    Published Date: Aug 19, 2009

    Wolfenstein is a strange creature, being one of the first true first person shooters in the world and one that’s not been left in the dark, courtesy of a couple of remakes and tweaks. Part of this is because the game has kept a core following of multiplayer fans through the years, and the ...

  • Wanted: Weapons of Fate
    Published Date: Apr 9, 2009

    Games where you have to carry out assassinations are usually pretty cool, right? Not just killing or attacking but slowly and methodically tracking your mark until you can take them out and escape with no-one any the wiser. In Wanted: Weapons of Fate you play the hero from last year’s movie...

  • WWE Legends of Wrestlemania
    Published Date: Mar 26, 2009

    Wrestling games have never appealed to me, because I tend to prefer sports games built on the idea of actual sport, not glorified acting. But there was a time when I indulged in the drama, back when I was maybe 12. So piledrivering through WWE Legends of Wrestlemania has been a mixed bag fo...

  • Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
    Published Date: Feb 24, 2009

    Videogame enthusiasts now live in an era of downloadable content, release-day patches, hotfixes and expansions that occasionally include more content than the original title. All of this conspires to make the critic’s job difficult – are you to review the game as released, or as it might be in s...

  • World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich Kin
    Published Date: Dec 2, 2008

    You could wear out a Thesaurus looking up superlatives to describe Blizzard’s latest offering to the gaming world so I’ll let the numbers serve as something an introduction: 2.8 million sales worldwide in its first 24 hours and a prediction of 5 million sales in the first month. Though at ti...

  • World of Goo
    Published Date: Oct 31, 2008

    Simplicity in puzzling is key. This, of course, is different from ease. One simultaneously wants to understand a puzzle’s objective without, however, knowing exactly how that objective will be met. Thus classic puzzle games like Tetris found ready-made audiences everywhere they turned, until tryin...

    In some sense, games like those from the Guitar Heroes series and Rock Band suffered largely from their strength: they rock, and they rock hard. And while this seems an admirable goal for the KISS Army, it’s something of a disadvantage for those not ready to rock. Indeed, there’s something narro...

  • Warhammer: Battle March
    Published Date: Oct 26, 2008

    The very wise Sun Tzu says, in his elucidatory military tome The Art Of War, that “The control of a large force is the same principle as the control of a few men: it is merely a question of dividing up their numbers.” Bullshit. He obviously never tried getting to grips with [i]Warhamme...

  • Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
    Published Date: Oct 16, 2008

    Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is the latest in a long line of MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) titles that is trying muscle its way into a market predominately owned by Blizzard’s World of Warcraft. With such a strong rival, what does Mythic’s new relea...

    Published Date: Jun 12, 2008

    There’s something counterintuitive, even vaguely off-putting, about a videogame that’s earnestly intended to improve your health. Videogames, as we all know and have heard, are pernicious, sedentary, monotonous activities that promote obesity, strain vision, and engender repetitive-stress injury...
