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...

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...

The first Torchlight was a surprise hit in 2009, one that has robbed several hours of my life on launch. It didn't have a story that I felt was oozing with lore like the Diablo series, but for a point and click action RPG Torchlight kept me engaged with the amazing dungeons and hundreds of loot to find. The biggest feature about Torchlight II most gamers would be interested in is the multiplayer,...

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 ...

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...

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...
