Pikmin Review
I have a confession to make. I drowned some Pikmin. Okay - a lot of Pikmin; about thirty or so. I didn't mean to. Olimar and the troops just sort of stumbled into some water, and they... they couldn't swim. I won't forget the

Puzzle Agent 2 Review
At the conclusion of the first Puzzle Agent game, the FBI’s Department of Puzzle Research declared a ‘case closed’ on the eraser factory mystery, but many questions remained unanswered. For starters, the factory foreman was missing, the source of a ‘whispering madness’ hadn’t been pinned down, and what

Shadow Complex (XBLA) Review
The 2D shooter used to be a favourite genre of mine. Who could forget classics such as Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Turrican or Contra? These are games that, even now, are fun to come back to time and time again and feature a level of instant gratification rarely found in

Sonic & Knuckles (XBLA) Review
Some of the readers on this site will be too young to remember Sonic's glory days. Imagine that. Only being familiar with 3D Sonic games and not playing the occasionally brilliant handheld games. Misty eyed gamers, or those that plain missed out now have the opportunity to play

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Commander's Challenge (XBLA) Review
Red Alert 3 as an XBLA game? Surely this will be a very simplified version of the game, or maybe even a completely different style of game using the Red Alert franchise? Red Alert mini-games perhaps? To my surprise, Commander's Challenge is a full, stand alone expansion to

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,

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

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

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers Review
2009’s Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers was a great game. It was a good way for people new to Magic: The Gathering to learn how the game works and understand what a fun, strategic, and challenging game it can be. It was also fun for Magic

Phantasy Star II (XBLA) Review
One of those rare RPGs to be set in a space-based future, Phantasy Star was epic and awesome for more than just that reason. Its gameplay and characters were incredibly memorable and playing through the games was all the evidence gamers of 1989 (yep, this game was first released twenty

Dragon Age II Review
I was pretty excited when I first laid my greedy eyes on Bioware’s Dragon Age II. The first one sucked up a good portion of my time, and though it had its flaws, in its own special way it did a satisfying job of sating my grumbling RPG urges.

Fable III Review
I’m always slightly shocked when I come across something really silly in a game with otherwise serious production values - after all, the game industry is big business, with massive budgets poured into spangly titles. Are developers really going to put budget into enabling a really good belch for
