  • Bionic Commando Review

    Bionic Commando Review

    Bionic Commando is the long awaited follow up to NES title of the same name. Once again players jump into the bionic boots of Nathan “Rad” Spencer to swing around via his bionic arm, play with guns and throw cars at a giant mechanical worm… The story wrapping up the action goes that following the…

  • CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars (XBLA) Review

    CellFactor: Psychokinetic Wars (XBLA) Review

    Cellfactor: Psychokinetic Wars is the sequel to freeware PC title Cellfactor: Revolution. If you have played any other death match-oriented titles, such as Quake Live or Unreal Tournament 3, you’re in familiar territory; there’s no story to speak of and it plays out like a sports title. The only goal is to score the most…

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Review

    The Call of Duty franchise has continued to be enormously popular, and for good reason – it has always delivered a good solo experience (albeit a short one), and a very well crafted and thought out multiplayer option. It is a tried and true formula that has been refined over its numerous releases. Call of…

  • UFC 2009 Undisputed Review

    UFC 2009 Undisputed Review

    Ninjas. Pirates. Lumberjacks. Up until a couple of days ago I was pretty sure that these were the three most manliness professionals around (in ascending order of manliness). Up until I played Ultimate Fighting Champion 2009 and realised that lumberjack pirates with swords just look like sissy little school-girls. The ever-increasing popularity of this new…

  • Virtua Tennis 2009 Review

    Virtua Tennis 2009 Review

    If you’re going to make a Tennis game for consoles, now is as good a time as ever to release it, squeezed in between the two mid-year grand slams. Sega have certainly realised this by producing another iteration of their ever popular tennis franchise, Virtua Tennis 2009. One of the great things about the franchise…

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Review

    Riding a tidal wave of controversy, Modern Warfare 2 has been tipped to be the fastest selling video game in history. It has already claimed higher pre-order sales than Grand Theft Auto 4 and it is predicted to sell over ten million copies before this Christmas worldwide. Small wonder considering its predecessor, Call of Duty…

  • Assassin’s Creed III Review

    Assassin’s Creed III Review

    Arguably only the imminent release of Halo 4 has had more attention and anticipation than AC3 has. So there was pretty much a Hunger Games-esque death match at the Gameskeys.net highrise offices to win the right to review this game. It wasn’t pretty, but I won. I’m not proud of what I had to do…

  • Toy Story 3 Review

    Toy Story 3 Review

    Toy Story 3 (the movie) looks promising, as all Pixar movies tend to. But Toy Story 3 (the game) was cursed from its outset with being two things: a game for kids, and an adaptation. And we all know how both of those things turn out, don’t we? But wait! For while this is indeed…

  • Just Cause 2 Review

    Just Cause 2 Review

    For those not familiar with Just Cause, the original was a slightly above average game which took clear inspiration from Grand Theft Auto. Just Cause offered up a slightly bland island setting and the ability to use a grappling hook on certain items. Can Just Cause 2 take the ideas of the original and execute…

  • Batman – The Telltale Series: Episode 4 Review

    Batman – The Telltale Series: Episode 4 Review

    Something that annoys me to no end are complaints against a story where supposedly ‘nothing happens’. Usually that’s not actually the case – the person involved just has difficulty separating their task-oriented personality from their leisure. The only obligation a story has is to be an experience – not to accommodate our obsession with performance…

  • Medal of Honor Review

    Medal of Honor Review

    Despite the name, this Medal of Honor is in fact the sixth game in the series to be released on PC (including two expansions) with countless spinoff titles having also been released on consoles. Unlike previous games, however, this particular title has managed to attract the attention of a lot of mainstream media – due…

  • Enslaved: Odyssey To The West Review

    Enslaved: Odyssey To The West Review

    Remember when you were a kid, and you would call out that you were going to the park, and your mum would yell back to take your little sister, and off you’d go, and she’d cry and moan the whole way? Enslaved is exactly like that. Except that it’s set in a post-apocalyptic world where…

  • XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a turn-based strategy game, available on PC, 360, and PS3. If you’re interested in finding out more about the specific implementation of the mechanics, or would like to know how the graphics (or other technology) compares to other titles, be sure to check out. Hadyn’s coverage of the title comes from…

  • Rage Review

    Rage Review

    id Software. The name of the company is synonymous with the entire first person shooter genre – it’s not something anyone else can claim, and for good reason: they invented it*. So when they release a new one, the world pays attention. Their last new IP, Quake, was rather successful. It took the concepts crafted…

  • Homefront Review

    Homefront Review

    After playing Homefront I cannot help but feel bad for Kaos Studios (the developer) because you can tell a lot of love and work was put into it. The problem is that when you put all of that aside there is, sadly, almost nothing special about this first person shooter. Set in the year 2027,…

  • The Godfather II Review

    The Godfather II Review

    Firefighter. Astronaut. Policeman. These were all pretty stock-standard responses from kids when asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. However I’m pretty sure I wanted to be a Don – much to my primary teacher’s shock. Coppola’s trilogy of masterpieces portrayed a gritty, dark but overwhelmingly attractive view of the Mafia. There…

  • Ashes Cricket 2009 Review

    Ashes Cricket 2009 Review

    As England and Australia currently battle it out in the Ashes series overseas, cricket fans will soon be able to step up to the crease with Ashes Cricket 2009. Cricket games definitely are few and far between (in fact if memory serves me right, the last one we saw was back in 2007). This time…

  • SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection Review

    SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection Review

    The 16-bit era for me was an especially sweet time for gaming. New gaming consoles such as the Mega Drive and Super Nintendo let developers really tighten up and refine game play from the last generation as well as of course adding a lot of atmosphere and polish. I personally find games from this era…

  • Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising Review

    Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising Review

    Playing games like Call of Duty must do wonders for the recruiting numbers for armies around the world. Running around at full pace and slaughtering a dozen men with a single clip of ammunition certainly is fun… but then again, war shouldn’t be fun. It’s a matter of survival. This is where Operation Flashpoint: Dragon…

  • Final Fantasy XIV Online Review

    Final Fantasy XIV Online Review

    Games don’t get to a fourteenth iteration in the series, with an additional bevy of side games, without shipping units. In Final Fantasy’s case, the number of units shipped is massive – around 100 million at last count. In the 23 years since the first one, the series has formed a massive fanbase and created…
