Trine 2 – Collectors Edition










Trine 2 is a stunning example of side-scrolling and puzzle platforming. Nevertheless, like the majority of sequels I haven’t the foggiest why Trine 2 was created, bar the obvious fact that the developers need money for food. Having played the…

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.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (All platforms) [Rating: 4] When a gamer is interested in buying a shooter game, my guess is their first choice isn’t going to be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1….
Game Review: Gotta Buy Them All?










Pokémon White and Black [Rating: 7] So the franchise continues and Gamefreak promises yet another 150+ new Pokémon. Has the franchise gotten a little exhausted now? Being an avid fan of the game since they first popped up in the…
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…
