We like first person shooters, particularly when there are decent weapons involved. The big question is whether you choose an FPS that is lifelike (e.g. Medal of Honor) or artificial (e.g. Quake 3). Delta Force Black ...

Best described as 'gun-touting vampire takes on devil-worshipping Nazis', BloodRayne sounds more like a B-movie plot than a PC adventure. Thankfully Vivendi's latest is a grade-A action title, with a sexy new heroine and plenty to ...

The original Postal game was banned so quickly that this reviewer never even clapped eyes on it. Still hasn't, in fact. This makes for loads of good publicity, in much the same way that 'Frankie goes ...

If you find Kung Fu fighting a "little bit frightening", then best get ready to hide behind the sofa when you fire up your X-Box and insert the Deadly Alliance disc. It's seriously gory with an ...

It's always interesting to note the strengthening of sub-genres in PC gaming circles, and increasingly with First Person Shooters there's been a line drawn between fun and realism. Traditional FPS games like Quake and Unreal Tournament ...

You know that lone Japanese guy, discovered on some remote Pacific island in the sixties (or thereabouts), who was convinced that the war was still going on? Well, Wanadoo reckons he was right. In fact, the ...

During the mid-eighties, there was a four-player arcade action game into which many a teen pumped endless ten pence pieces, in an effort to conquer various goblins, wizards and witches. It was of course that classic, ...

The word 'terrorist' is becomingly an increasingly blurred term in today's society. Without wishing to get too heavy and political, the difference between a 'terrorist' and a 'freedom fighter' is merely media slant, a choice of ...

Star Wars - it's a catchy but nonsensical name when you really think about it. Exactly how many stars are seen scrapping it out during the film? None, that's how many. They don't even blow a ...

A new addition to the ever popular survival horror genre (for X-Box users, that is; it's been around for a while on the PS2), Silent Hill 2 sticks faithfully to the tried and tested formula that ...

What does the word "halo" mean to you? To a normal person, it most likely conjures up images of angels and possibly Simon Templar (raises eyebrow). To the rabid gamer however, it can only mean one ...

Who'd have thought it? A war-based first-person shooter inspired by the Antiques Roadshow. No, it might not involve bursting into Whitby Town Hall and mowing down Hugh Scully with a Browning Automatic Rifle - though there's ...

You may have seen the original Operation Flashpoint game reviewed elsewhere, but we've been waiting for the full pack to come out. And here it is. The updated version of the original game plus the 'Red ...

"Barker?" "Here Sir" "Herbert?" "Here..." "King?... King?" "Uhh, here Sir" Just imagine it... a class full of kiddie horror authors. Naught could be heard but the soft and slightly irksome scratching of the chalk upon the ...

Hmm... Serious Sam is an odd name for a video game character. Sounds like one of Desperate Dan's long lost relatives. There's probably a large family of alliterative heroes out there somewhere; you can just imagine ...

Tomb Raider Chronicles sees Lara-and-her-ample-proportions Croft return in the fifth adventure in the Tomb Raider series. Despite the fact that we are now four years on from the first instalment of the game, the format hasn't ...

It is indeed true that no one lives forever, unless you happen to be a mad Scot descended from the Clan McCloud of McSomewhere-or-other. And even then if you have your head sliced off you're in ...

If you're not familiar with the name American McGee then you weren't a Quake fanatic back in the 'good old days', for he was responsible for many of the cool level designs prevalent in the id ...

If the IT Reviews hacks were given a Medorrian credit for every Star Trek licensed game released on the PC over the last few years, we'd be pretty rich, that's for sure. If only the planet ...

If it's not an unspeakable, ancient, evil spirit threatening the world, or an unhinged madman with a claw for a hand and a penchant for cats, then it's a mysterious outbreak of dinosaurs from the distant ...
