  • Saints Row 2
    Published Date: Oct 16, 2008

    Saint’s Row on the 360 was a sleeper hit when the console was still a baby, being one of the only sandbox games out on the system. It was essentially a GTA clone but that didn’t stop people loving it. Well, the gaming landscape has changed somewhat and with a real GTA alre...

  • Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
    Published Date: Sep 24, 2008

    As anyone who’s read my recent reviews will know, nothing rankles me more than a release that fails to do what it promised through all the hype (we’re looking at you Haze, Too Human...). So when something lands on my desk that has been talked about for over a year, it’s hard not...

  • Soul Calibur IV
    Published Date: Sep 24, 2008

    Now that we’re a decade on we can see how the popularity grew – from its inception as an arcade game in 1996 (then called Soul Edge) through to the rapid port to the original PlayStation, taking advantage and being on the forefront of the impending console-boom. The port was more than the arcad...

  • Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution
    Published Date: Jul 16, 2008

    I have been playing Civ since it arrived on the Amiga (remember that?) back at the dawn of time. It’s a testament to the quality and popularity of the franchise that it is still going, stronger than ever, 17 years later. For its console debut, Civ has been stripped down to its essential core, maki...

  • Shadowrun
    Published Date: Jul 21, 2007

    In order to be able to review a game, you have to be able to, well, play it. Kind of a given. So reviewing Shadowrun is probably one of the most protracted writing tasks I’ve ever faced. The problem has been that although I’ve had a copy for well over a week, it took me that amount of time to ...

  • Superman Returns: The Video Game
    Published Date: Mar 23, 2007

    Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a nonce in blue lycra and red budgie smugglers? You better believe it! Superman is back from a search through space, to the very centre of his soul (with a quick bypass to Krypton), and he is looking to jump right back in to saving the world and getting a little ac...

  • Sonic the Hedgehog
    Published Date: Mar 23, 2007

    Ever since the advent of truly 3D graphics, Sega has seen a decline in quality of their flagship title Sonic. The newest installment seems to be a reach to save the all but dead Sonic franchise that was once Sega's pride and joy in the old 16-bit days. The efforts have obviously fallen short as this...
