Dark Souls Review
Anyone who can’t remember Demon’s Souls… by all accounts can’t have played the game. No sane person could possibly forget the amount of sadistic anguish inflicted on them when this PS3 exclusive was released. Half role-playing game, half third-person brawler, and half ball-buster [that’s three halves! – Ed.], Demon’s Souls was probably responsible for a multitude…

Far Cry 2 Review
Making an open-ended game with an expansive playing area can’t be easy. It’d be so much easier to make things linear, to guide the player every step of the way. So it’s always impressive when a developer pulls off a sandbox title that remains entertaining while giving the player freedom to muck around. Far Cry…

Call of Duty: World At War Review
It’s been a tough start to the summer. Our needs as consumers have emptied our wallets, part time jobs at Burger King reluctantly picked up, credit cards maxed. The quality titles are here, and unfortunately Call Of Duty: World At War is one more to add to the bunch – albeit one that could potentially…

The Wheelman Review
Milo Burik is The Wheelman. He drives, shoots, beats people up and talks smack, usually at the same time. If you think that might be a chore for any normal man, you’d be right. However, Milo is played by Vin Diesel, and from our Vin we would expect no less. That’s the way Vin, and…

FIFA 13 Review
Did you know that the FIFA videogame franchise has been around for nearly 20 years? From a time when displaying the game in an isometric viewpoint was revolutionary, through to today where you can use the GamePad to look through the eyes of the kicker for free kicks, EA Sports have tried to keep pushing…

Puzzle Quest Galactrix Review
Before Puzzle Quest, match three games were plentiful enough but they tended to stick to the basics: match three like-coloured objects to clear them from the board; game ends when there are no more moves to make. That pretty much summed up the genre. Puzzle Quest, however, dared to take that mechanic and add an…

Lost Planet 2 Review
The developers of Lost Planet 2 weren’t kidding when they said that this sequel would be completely different to the original. Soon after their announcement, in-game screenshots of steamy jungles and fern smattered landscapes started to appear. It certainly was a huge departure from the bleak, icy and blindingly white tundras of the first game.…

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Review
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is arguably the best movie to come from Michael Bay’s crack at the franchise thus far – now the tie-in is here and it’s the first Transformers game to feature a multiplayer mode. This title offers a respectable roster of five playable Transformers for each side and a few unplayable…

Dungeon Defenders Review
I love mixing Peanut Butter and Chocolate. The combination of their tastes and textures blend so perfectly for me; I just love it. Similarly, Dungeon Defenders has that blend of Action Role Playing Game (ARPG) and Tower Defense that works so perfectly together. With a colourful and fun art style, a variety of monsters, some…

Terminator: Salvation Review
After recently playing X-Men: Origins: Wolverine, my faith in successful movie-to-game adaptations had been restored slightly. Unfortunately, Terminator: Salvation has managed to completely undo this new found hope. It is a poorly conceived goulash of terrible level design, mediocre voice acting, dodgy graphics and buggy gameplay. In fact the best feature of the game is…

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review
Its not often that a game falls into your lap that makes you sit up and take notice. In the grand Parthenon of PC titles there are several top tier franchises that stand out. Franchises like Sid Meier’s Civilization, Valve’s Half-Life, and Eidos’ Deus Ex. Deus Ex: Human Revolution has been a long time coming. Its predecessor, Deus Ex, has…

Texas Cheat ‘Em (XBLA) Review
Texas Hold ‘Em is the kind of poker where you only have two cards in your hand, with up to five community cards in the middle. The idea is that you make the best hand you can out of the two cards you have and three of the five cards in the middle. Whoever has…

NBA 2K13 Review
The NBA is due to tip off at the end of the month, and with it comes the release of NBA 2K13. Last year developers Visual Concepts produced a fantastic game, packed with incredible player detail and deep gameplay. So, the question is, can they do it again? While the short answer is yes, there…

Lord of the Rings: War in the North Review
Since we’ve all read Lord of the Rings (you haven’t? You must have been living in a troll cave!), we already know all about its comprehensive and detailed telling of the journey of the fellowship. What you might have missed, however, is that there were other heroes involved, too. Lord of the Rings: War in…

WWE 2K17 Review
It’s important to remember that wrestling is not just about what goes on in the ring. It’s about the corporation, marketing, the backstage drama, management, and the media. Workers punch out bosses, commentators get in fights, wrestlers move in and out of character, in and out of the ‘real’ world and the fictional ‘wrestling’ one.…

Red Faction: Guerrilla Review
We were introduced to the Red Faction series back in 2001 when it show-cased “Geo-Mod” technology – short for “geometry modification”. It gave us never-seen-before destructible environments and allowed players to demolish their surroundings and transform the terrain to their advantage. For example, instead of opening a door like a normal pleb you could blast…

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena Review
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay was one of the best titles on the Xbox. Now after fives years we have the follow up, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Fresh out of prison, our titular hero finds himself on a Mercenary ship. His next course of action? Kill them and…

OutRun Online Arcade Review
OutRun is one of the first games I remember playing, and one of the largest milestones for the racing genre. Hitting the arcades in the mid/late eighties, OutRun was flasher and faster than anything before it. One aspect of the game still fondly looked back at was how there was an intersection at the end…

Droplitz (XBLA) Review
Okay, I’ll do it. I’ll be brutally honest from the start. I wasn’t really prepared to like Droplitz. A whole game similar to the least entertaining part of Bioshock, huh? But for the sake of Gameskeys, I’ll do it. I’ll trudge through a completely uninspiring dull puzzle game. Now don’t get me wrong, there are…

Mass Effect 3 Review
Mass Effect 3 was one of the most anticipated games of the year, and promised to put the wraps on BioWare’s grand space adventure trilogy. When it arrived, the game was genuinely epic in content, but fan reaction to the game’s ending managed to outshine it even so. Threats of legal action, closed writing sessions…
