  • Battlefield: Bad Company 2
    Published Date: Mar 12, 2010

    Whether or not you got that giddy feeling like a mid-March burst of Christmas cheer, perhaps resulting in a resistance to sleep the night before this arrived, will probably depend on whether you rocked out with Battlefield 1942 and other subsequent releases on PC before getting on with [i]Bad...

  • BioShock 2
    Published Date: Feb 16, 2010

    To save myself from rehashing at length the various perspectives of a BioShock sequel, let me try and cram it into a few words. Was BioShock a game that needed a sequel, or was it a release that should have been left alone for those of us who have experienced it to think fondly on tha...

  • Dante's Inferno
    Published Date: Feb 11, 2010

    There must be something in the air. As they say with buses, you wait for ages and then three come along at once. Or two, although you get my point. Dante’s Inferno is the third button-mashing title to arrive in a little over a month, and it has some tough competition to do battle with. ...

  • 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...

  • Army of Two: The 40th Day
    Published Date: Jan 24, 2010

    There's something about co-op gameplay that I really enjoy, where you can try and employ specific tactics to achieve an objective rather than being called a lolfag every two minutes while half your team teleports across the map because of chronic lag issues. There is something about two or four peo...

  • Darksiders
    Published Date: Jan 18, 2010

    It sounds like such fun – play as War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, as he hunts down a range of demons that 100 years ago tricked him into causing a battle between Heaven and Hell, resulting in the destruction of all humanity. The world lies in ruin; the Charred Council - who contr...

  • Bayonetta
    Published Date: Jan 10, 2010

    So Bayonetta has finally arrived, after months and months of anticipated groaning from the mainstream gaming press. Rarely has a game raised under-collar temperatures so much, and fans of skintight black suits and lollipops will be thrilled. The basic story is this: you play as Bayonetta,...

  • The Saboteur
    Published Date: Jan 5, 2010

    I’ve always wondered why video game characters from Ireland are thin on the ground. That’s because I happen to be Irish, and I think the foul mouthed, drunken stereotype would suit gaming well, at least occasionally. It also happens that I’m right, because playing as protagonist Sean Devlin ...

  • Assassin's Creed II
    Published Date: Dec 3, 2009

    When it comes to making a sequel, there’s a list of things that need to be looked at, but perhaps that one word scribbled across the top of the white board in thick black marker is the most important word of all – Improvements. By and large, a sequel that doesn’t improve on some of the predec...
