Guild Wars 2 Review

Guild Wars 2 Review

Guild Wars 2 Community Page I am going to admit that it has been a while since I have played an MMO While blockbuster releases like ‘World of Warcraft’ bored me to death and intergalactic space adventures like ‘EVE Online’ had me asking “What is the point?” It is Guild Wars 2 that officially brings in a breath of fresh air to the genre. Guild Wars 2 takes place in the rather magical world of Tyria...

Borderlands Review

Borderlands Review

Borderlands Community Page I remember the day I purchased Borderlands I was with my flat mate standing in a long, agitated queue that consisted of pig mouthed northern dudes all waiting to grab a midnight copy of the latest Call of Duty at the time. Walking into the store at the midnight launch, we finally got to the till and asked for a copy of Gearbox’s latest. The cashier person looked at us wi...

Left 4 Dead Review

Left 4 Dead Review

Zombies have always been the craze in recent years. Games everywhere are attempting to embrace the undead into some kind of feature through their gameplay, or story. What you may not know is that Left 4 Dead is one of the big daddies that started the craze to begin with. Valve is a brilliant developer; it can’t be denied that these guys and gals sit down on a project for as long as possible until ...

Little Big Planet Vita Review

Little Big Planet Vita Review

Since owning a Playstation 3 from the day it was born in retail shelves I have made sure to play every Little Big Planet game that was ever conceived. The first game was a true product of brilliance and innovation as for the first time we could create and play our very own platform games thanks to Mediamolecule and their little mascot, Sackboy. As time went on the Playstation brand and its fans be...

SCHAR Blue Shield Alliance – Review

SCHAR Blue Shield Alliance – Review

It can’t be denied that Brain Shape Games' SCHAR Blue Shield Alliance isn’t nostalgic. I remember back in the days of high school when me and my little friends would clamber around Windows 95 PCs and play those old browser based shooters like Asteroids and some cheap looking replica of Galaga. When we look at games of this calibre now, they have grown so much in such a small time that even tribute...

Unit 13 Review

Unit 13 Review

Zipper Interactive used to be a studio you could look up to. Not only were they the pioneers of the popular SOCOM franchise but they also attempted to break the online competitive gaming world with ambitious titles like MAG. Now a closed studio, did their final entry known as Unit 13 leave a legacy worth being proud of? Unit 13 is just like the Special Operations Command games we have come to love...

Escape Plan Review

Escape Plan Review

Escape Plan Community Page Between all the maiming and killing we generally need something to get away from that none stop action and for once place our pulsating brains on the pedestal when taking on a new game. Puzzle games have always been a very welcome distraction from the constant stream of shooters and action games, so Fun Bits Interactive’s Escape Plan was probably one of the best ways to ...

Sleeping Dogs Review

Sleeping Dogs Review

Luckily for fans of the genre, developer United Front Games has given them something to burn away a week of summer in the form of newly released Sleeping Dogs. In Sleeping Dogs you play the troubled undercover cop Wei Shen who just so happens to have bee...

Darksiders 2 Review

Darksiders 2 Review

Darksiders 2 Community Page After a 25+ hour binge this week on THQ’s newly released Darksiders 2, I am finally able to give my opinion. After the great beginnings of the Four Horsemen’s journey through the apocalypse in DS1, does the highly anticipated sequel make the on-going battle worth fighting for? Darksiders 2 follows the adventures of Death, the second of the four horsemen who is on a pers...
