Brink

Genuine enthusiasm goes a long way with us. Listening to developers talk endlessly, with barely a pause for breath or to let the width of their smile shorten by an inch, sometimes they can win you over with their own personal excitement for a game. And in the case of Splash Damage’s senior game designer, […]

Dark Void

Ever wondered what would happen if Nikola Tesla met the Rocketeer in the middle of the Bermuda triangle, and together fought off an extra dimensional alien invasion as part of a ragtag group of exiled human survivors? No? Then you are clearly little short on imagination but luckily enough, the team at Airtight Studios isn’t […]

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

For some, Modern Warfare 2 is a multiplayer vehicle. Forget the single player merely ‘tracked-on’ for those not smart enough to venture online, they say, the latest iteration of Call of Duty is at its finest when comping over the PlayStation Network. Considering how well structured Infinity Ward’s latest is, this argument sounds like a […]

Tekken 6

Tekken has grown sillier as the years have gone by. It’s now filled with animals, wooden men and robots. And for every time the series has gotten a shade sillier, it’s grown a little bit fatter and more sluggish. Since day one, the Tekken team’s answer to everything has been more with no limit on […]

Batman: Arkham Asylum 2

As a tribute to the source material, Arkham Asylum 2 is superb. The story, scripted by longtime Animated Series Writer Paul Dini, is a twisty affair where the Joker is incarcerated in the titular asylum, before breaking out and putting the Dark Knight through a series of challenges, ranging from the difficult to the annoying. […]

Sega Rally

Videogames are unique compared to other entertainment media in that they are, almost exclusively, the only art form in which each sequel improves on the last. This is probably because the ever-evolving technology of home consoles and computers allows for greater advancements. The Sega Rally series, however, is one of the few exceptions. The 1995 […]

Dark Sector

Coming at a superhero title is a little different with a new IP. For a start, you have to generate interest with the game alone. There’s no established fan base, no previous materials and little more than the title itself to offer any kind of back-story. It’s a brave move though, and any title that […]

Ferrari Challenge

This will be the first time in really eight years that Ferrari has lent its name to an actual game title. Even though it will pretty much whore out the car likeness to just about anyone who happens to be releasing a racing game; Ferrari making ubiquitous appearances in everything from Gran Turismo to PGR. […]

Devil May Cry 4

If there was ever a contemporary videogame series able to fly in the face of emergent gameplay non-linearity, and all other gubbins that developers like to harp on about these days, then Devil May Cry would probably be it. As many of you well known, Capcom’s perennial action franchise has so far been built around […]

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010

Over the last year it’s become fashionable to knock the once untouchable Pro Evo. In forums across the globe fans bemoaned PES 2009’s lack of licenses, its slowdown, its bananas defensive Al, its ‘cheese’ tactics, and the slideyness of its players. And while, to varying extents, they’re all legitimate complaints, what the boo boys often […]
