XCOM Enemy Unknown Community Page I am disappointed to say this but I have never played an XCOM game in my life. I had never even heard of the series until this title had been presented at E3, but boy do I regret not knowing about it. With the Earth about to become dominated by an unknown alien race, could XCOM Enemy Unknown be humanity’s saving grace? XCOM: Enemy Unknown sees you the player becom...

Dishonored Community Page If I’ve learned anything from playing Dishonored it’s that no digital foe is safe from my wrath even if I’m given the option to be a pacifist. Yes, I could have used a sleeping dart, but decided to use cold steel instead. Yes, I could have chosen not to summon a rat swarm to devour the corpse of a recently assassinated guard, but I had to get rid of the body somehow. I co...

In some ways I wasn’t looking forward to writing this review. Now don’t get me wrong I love Resident Evil, I play Resident Evil 2 and 4 from time to time because let’s be honest they were the best the franchise has had to offer so far. Now we come to Resident Evil 6, but is this the direction we want the series to be taking? Resident Evil 6 begins as Leon Kennedy, the gritty cop from Raccoon City,...

I have always loved survival horror. I have also always loved Resident Evil, but after a couple of hit and miss movies and a complete U-turn in creative direction, it is clear that Capcom’s baby just isn’t heading in the direction is should be. Fans of the previous Resident Evil outing that was lead by RE2 leading man Leon Kennedy will obviously realise that the fifth instalment into the series ha...

Costume Quest Community Page I’m going to give away the end of this article for you right now: Costume Quest is good. You should buy it and sit down with a mug of cider to celebrate the only holiday where the color orange is ubiquitous. It’s an XBLA, Playstation Network, and PC title, so go get it. I have a weird relationship with October. I love the idea of it because I love the heck out of fall....

2D platformers are becoming all the craze again these days and in a way that makes me happy. The new game on the block called ‘Hell Yeah’ has come to attempt to take part in this re-growing group of gaming genres, but does this bunny bring home the bacon? From the very start of pressing the ‘GO’ button you will find that Arkedo’s new bunny mascot doesn’t take himself very seriously. The entire plo...

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...

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 ...

I have a love/hate relationship with roguelike games, and some of that shows up with FTL here. I like the randomly generated events and resources that comes with roguelike games, but I'm also not a fan of the radical difficulty in roguelike games or the permanent death system. FTL does have these features, but at the same time it’s also a fun game to play. It stands out from other roguelike gam...
