Showtime is the sixth Sims 3 expansion pack to hit our shores, and it’s packed full of divas, knife-juggling, genies, as well as a significant expansion into the social media arena. But with a plethora of expansion packs already released for the Sims 3, is Showtime a must-have or a wait-for-the-sales title? Like other expansion…

Waking up on a strange planet, he stumbles to the nearest bus stop, where a couple of old men inform him there’s an indeterminate wait for the next bus… if it ever arrives at all. Nice to know that public transport is universally unreliable, eh? Anyway, rather than stay and wait, Kurt decides to take…

The ending of Deponia paved the way for a sequel, and whaddaya know… a mere three months later, here it is. Everything we enjoyed about the original is back, and there’s more of it. In the name of expediency (and to cut down on the word count), why not take a moment to check out to…

The original Duke Nukem 3D is an incredible game, no arguments about that. While the character himself is fondly remembered, it was the solid gameplay and level design that made the game what it was. Duke quipping ‘Get dat crap outta here!’ was just the icing on the Playboy Playmate. This 3D Realms classic has…

Game of Thrones is like Harry Potter, except if, instead of Snape zapping Dumbledore, Dumbledore had whipped out a poleaxe and sliced off Snape’s greasy head, and then sold all the Hogwarts children into slavery. Then they’d be exactly the same, and Harry Potter would probably be better. So it’s somewhat strange that Cyanide studios…

The mission has failed. Deep below the surface of Apoxus Prime something has gone terribly wrong. An S.O.S. has been received but no-one knows exactly what has happened to the mining colony. As a pilot aboard the responding ERS Pinita Colada, it’s your duty to rescue the mining crew, and maybe while you’re at it,…

Dawnguard, the new vampire-centric downloadable content for Bethesda’s Skyrim, has been out for nearly a month. If you haven’t already been caught up in all of the pre-release buzz, you may be wondering whether it’s worth forking out right now for extra Skyrim content; after all, the game is already so cram-packed full of quests,…

Command and Conquer has been a long running strategy series that has provided an original and engaging string of games to the market. The latest game in the series, Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, has recently been given a much welcomed expansion dubbed Kane’s Wrath. The expansion pack not only adds new units and…

Admit it – you’ve daydreamed of donning black latex-covered Kevlar, crashing through a bank skylight and single-handedly stopping a horde of would-be bank robbers with a handful of well-timed elbow strikes and sweep kicks. We’ve all daydreamed of being a superhero at some time or another, so it’s nice when a game like Sony Online…

Shadow Hearts: From the New World comes dangerously close to being outright awful due to the ridiculousness of the characters. Diverging from stereotypical warriors and princesses in RPGs is always welcome, but not when the characters are unique just because they are so absurd. The worst offender is a large talking cat that has mastered…
