Dogged to the End | Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen Review

There are so many aspects to the original Dragon’s Dogma that made it a fantastic game. It was beautifully crafted, with stunning scenery, massive mythical monsters, and grand castles dotted about the landscape. Not only this, but the combat was a refreshing change to the usual RPGs, combining real-time combat with tactic based fighting. The different player classes, which can [...]

Top 5: Games of the Undead

Zombies, zombies, everywhere. Zombies on TV, zombies in films, zombies in graphic novels and books – people just can’t seem to get enough of them. Who could blame us, in all fairness? There’s something oddly satisfying about beating the undead about with a baseball bat. Obviously, zombies aren’t real – sorry to break that to you. But, have no fear; [...]

Get Your Heart Racing – Forza 4 Review

The racing simulator genre is a difficult one to get right. It’s easy to make things unrealistic, clunky, and unresponsive. It’s also easy to make a game that’s too realistic, perhaps boring and uninteresting for the casual gamer. Luckily, however, Turn 10 Studios have had a lot of practice in the genre.

More Skyrim For Your Buck – Dawnguard DLC Review

Let’s face it: Skyrim was one of the better games of 2011, perhaps even one of the best. Killing dragons, slaying ogres, felling giants with magic, hunting bad guys with a bow and arrow–it’s every medieval boy’s fantasy. But once you’ve completed your final quest and maxed out your skills to such an extent that it’s possible to kill a giant with two [...]

An Absolute Corker: Hitman: Absolution Review

The Hitman series has been a part of our gaming lives for almost thirteen years. Since his humble beginnings in the year 2000, our unconventional hero, Agent 47, has been assassinating his way into our hearts.

A Far Cry From This Year’s Releases – Far Cry 3 Review

If there’s one thing that gamers love, it’s adventure. Sure, some of us enjoy getting up and going outside to climb mountains and explore rain forests.
