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...

In Sleeping Dogs you play the troubled undercover cop Wei Shen who just so happens to have bee...

To let everyone know where I'm coming from, I may as well start with my history of the Persona games. Or, more specifically, the lack-there-of. I've never actually played any of the previous Persona titles, having said that I was always drawn to the art style and character appearances from the various screenshots and video footage I happen to come across. Even with the animated series that was rec...

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...
