Crackdown 2 Published Date: Jul 16, 2010I can remember Crackdown’s arrival on 360, coming out of left field and offering a glorious combination of height and scale, massive explosions, and obsessive collecting. Interviews with the developers of the debut game offered no hint of a sequel, possibly because they were uncertain what...

Toy Story 3 Published Date: Jul 16, 2010If you play games a lot, and if you’re reading this then I expect you do, then you’ll no doubt be familiar with some of these statements: “RTS games will always be better on PC than consoles because you need so many buttons to make a citizen harvest grain like a mouse and keyboard”; “FPS w...

Singularity Published Date: Jul 7, 2010They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if that old adage rings true, then you can pick out with relative ease the various inspirations that have influenced the development team as they built Singularity. It would be fair to say that just about every FPS has been infl...

Transformers: War for Cybertron Published Date: Jul 1, 2010Using the 80s cartoon as influence, rather than the recent movies, was an inspired choice that provides plenty of substance for those of you that remember what the chunky robots were before Hollywood got its hands on them. I’m not sure if there is much room for nostalgia in the cutthroat world ...

Pure Football Published Date: Jun 21, 2010Football is the in-thing at the minute, so cash-in releases are to be expected. But while Pure Football is certainly a poor game, the fact it retails for only a few bucks means you can’t really accuse it of being a cash-in, although it contains just about everything on the list of expected...

UFC Undisputed 2010 Published Date: Jun 17, 2010[i] NOTE:Before anyone thinks I’m running this game into the ground with the tagline above, I need to set a few facts straight. I love the UFC, to the extent that I recently dragged my wife over to Las Vegas and scheduled our annual holiday around UFC 114. However, I will not let being a fr...

Split/Second: Velocity Published Date: Jun 8, 2010Driving games tend to come in a few different flavours – rally (DiRT), track racing (PGR or Forza), and fantasy (Burnout). Whatever the flavour, there are some key things to get right, whether it be the handling of the car or the sensation of speed. Split/Second exists firmly in the latter categ...

Alpha Protocol Published Date: Jun 5, 2010Emblazoned across the back of the box is the declaration that Alpha Protocol is the world’s first espionage RPG, conjuring images of James Bond or Jason Bourne, maybe welded into something like Mass Effect or Oblivion. Declarations can be deceptive, though, because although [i]Alpha...

Red Dead Redemption Published Date: May 31, 2010I 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...

Alan Wake Published Date: May 31, 2010Stephen King is undoubtedly a skilled writer, but not very many of his works have transformed into cinematic successes. Alan Wake makes a good attempt to do something about that scenario, bringing a horror story straight from the pages of a non-existent book to your television screen. Wake is a ...
