  • LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4
    Published Date: Jul 16, 2010

    As a big fan of the LEGO titles and someone who has played all the previous instalments, I was well aware of the declining quality and simmering unpopularity that blighted recent releases. [1]LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4[/i] was always going to have a battle on its hands to win back the respect its e...

  • God of War III
    Published Date: Mar 22, 2010

    You know a game has asserted itself as top of its genre when any other game that uses similar mechanics is released and finds itself slapped with a X-clone label. The God of War series is one of those games. The start of 2010 saw three similar titles released, and although Bayonetta was mor...

  • 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...

  • Aliens vs Predator
    Published Date: Mar 1, 2010

    Twenty years ago Danny Glover, bloody and battered, wandered into a Predator trophy room and viewers glimpsed the Xenomorph skull hanging on the wall, kicking off the cult following that would pit two of Hollywood’s nastiest incarnations against each other. The Alien vs Predator phenomenon has spa...

  • LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Cont
    Published Date: Dec 17, 2009

    There is no denying that Lego games based on successful movies will have an audience. The problem with Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues is that it is essentially a clone of the other Lego games and while evidence exists that Traveller’s Tales made some attempts to enhance the g...

  • 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...

  • Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
    Published Date: Oct 26, 2009

    The original Uncharted was one of the early sleeper hits for the PlayStation 3, partly because it came out of nowhere and developed its own creative form of gameplay and plot, similar to the various adventures of Lara Croft but different enough to grant it well-deserved individuality. [i]Unch...

  • 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...
