Sadly, we're finding ourselves having to get used to big budget, high profile games being underwhelming by the time we finally get our paws on them. At the end of last year, UbiSoft - the same ...

The film of Iron Man is pretty darn good. Or so we hear from friends, as we've not actually seen it yet. In typical movie licence style, the game doesn't really have much of a plot; ...

With apologies for bursting some of the bubble of euphoria that's surrounding many reviews for Metal Gear Solid 4 right now, this latest game in the franchise is a frustrating mixture of flat-out brilliance combined with ...

We've all heard of Grand Theft Auto, or GTA as it's usually abbreviated. Even non-games-playing pensioners will have seen and been outraged by at least one of the GTA games when it's been on the news. ...

It's a good decade now since Playstation owners first hooked a G-Con gun controller up to their console for the finest light gun gaming experience that you could enjoy in your home. The fast, frenetic, action-packed ...

Okay, we're not going to do the usual horny helmet gags. Or mention looting and pillaging, or braided moustaches. The Vikings have been stereotyped for too long. Their needs, hopes and dreams were much the same ...

It must be said that an army of two is rather on the small side, although history has recorded some more compact forces than this. Such as Bjork, who claimed she was an army all on ...

Capcom's premier franchise may still have the words ‘Resident Evil' stamped slap-bang through the centre of it, but Devil May Cry continues to find quite an audience too. Instalment four in the slashing action franchise finds ...

You might well have missed the original Savage. Released several years ago, it was something of a cult favourite and certainly a highly original game. This sequel is built along exactly the same hybrid lines, merging ...

The Golden Compass might sound like something a rich school kid would have in his pencil case - along with a matching solid silver set square - but as most of us are doubtless aware, it's ...

Some of the finest entertainment this reviewer's ever had with a games console and a good night in was the original Time Crisis on the Playstation. The game was horribly short, but so insanely exciting that ...

While the back of last year saw the welcome return of Halo on the Xbox 360, the poor old PlayStation 3 has been lacking a decent poster child. Heavenly Sword's Nariko had the hair and the ...

We best begin with a disclaimer: This reviewer loves 'The Simpsons' cartoon more than Homer loves doughnuts. More than Bart loves Krusty. More than Mr Burns loves crushing the hopes and dreams of his downtrodden workforce. ...

Virtua Fighter, one of the biggest fighting franchises going, has finally arrived on the Xbox 360; and to that we say hurrah! Albeit it's a triumphant exclamation punctuated by a shower of shattered and bloodied teeth, ...

The people who made Kane & Lynch clearly love the movie ‘Heat'. From the opening, where you find yourself in the midst of an escape from a prison truck, to an ensuing selection of action sequences ...
