Review: Batman – Arkham City
Batman: Arkham Asylum was one of the stand-out video games of 2009, drawing in substantial praise from audiences. Developers Rocksteady had surprised the industry with such a hit. Before long, public and press alike were clamouring for a sequel.
Review: Football Manager 2012
With an abundance of new features, Football Manager 2011 took its rightful place at the top of the football manager simulation tree. Sports Interactive had outdone themselves yet again. With an offering so unsurpassable, it seemed the only way from there could be down.

Review: Start checking your room for necromorphs.
Dead Space 2 released January 25th 2011 on PC, PS3 & Xbox 360 [Rating:9] Action, aliens, guns, gore. These are the essential building blocks of the sci-fi horror genre, but they count for nothing without one vital ingredient: suspense. Resident…
Review: Mine your life away, one day at a time.
9] There is no way to describe Minecraft. It barely qualifies as a game. The graphics are terrible, consisting of blocks of three-dimensional pixels of varying colours. The mechanics are exceptionally simple: destroy blocks, collect blocks, put down blocks. The…
