Ratchet And Clank HD Collection
- PS3
For some, Ratchet and Clank is familiar face of the PS3. For many others, however, it is known as one of the many staples of the PS2 era. In an attempt to cash in on the nostalgia many feel towards this series, Sony has released their newest HD collection, The Ratchet and Clank Collection. Inside this collection you will find the original Ratchet and Clank, Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando, an...

Game Dev Story
- Android
Mobile games have been around for about eighteen years and while quite a few of them were easily forgotten about, there are also a handful that went down in history; Tetris, Snake and Block Breaker are a few prime examples. In addition, quite a few recent titles have made an impact on the industry, including Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and Draw Something. Game Dev Story is at the top of that list,...

Forge
- PC
Recently, Dark Vale Games has come out with a new computer game called FORGE, which is a PvP style game with MMO style of play and some FPS elements; or so they say. When I got sent this game, I was excited to see what was in store for me. I have never been to much of an MMO styled game, but I was willing to give this game a full run through. To my surprise it was a fairly decent game, not one...

Far Cry 3
- PC
...insanity calls home! Far cry 3 opens with a concussive bang, amazing voice acting and a chilling scene. From the outset our main character is already in a dire situation, pirates/terrorists/mad men have captured you and your Abercrombie wearing friends, and it soon becomes up to you to save them and yourself. The rabbit hole you will descend down is rife with violence, fear, hallucination...

Thomas was alone
- PC
Thomas Was Alone is an indie puzzle-platformer developed by Mike Bithell. On its website the game is described as a “minimalistic game about friendship and jumping and floating and bouncing and anti-gravity” but this is really selling itself short. Weirdly this game has made me care about shapes. The general premise of the game is you control shapes and you must use team work to get to some...

Journey
- PS3
Journey is a multiplayer downloadable game developed by thatgamecompany for the PS3 and was released back in April. This is the third instalment by thatgamecompany to release on the PSN (Flow and Flower being the other two). To start with I have to make a little confession. This game, as with most arty games, is very difficult to review because it is hard to explain the experience you get from...

Limbo
- PS3
Limbo was a puzzle platform game developed by Playhead and released in 2010. I have always been fascinated by this game and the positive reviews it got but it has taken me this long to actually play it and in a way my feelings towards Limbo are confusing. The general premise to the game is confusing. Essentially you are this mysterious, boy-esque, shadow that must solve puzzles to progress....

Far Cry 3
- Xbox 360
Warning: potential spoilers including the introduction of the game, progression through the story and plot highlights. Please read at your own discretion. Note: I’ve rewritten this review to cover all aspects of the game now that I have finished it in its entirety. Previously, the first version was written covering basic aspects to serve as an indicator that the game is completely worth the...

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
- PS3
If you didn't get it in the teaser, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is a game based loosely on the Bible. But before you let that turn you off let me start by saying it's still a traditional game, and overall a good one. El Shaddia is a hack and slash with platforming elements that tells the story of a group of angels who have purposely fallen from heaven, in the hopes of making earth...

Resident Evil 6
- Xbox 360
I was excited. More excited than I had been about previous Resident Evil releases (4 and 5 to be more precise). The TV adverts had me drooling. I thought "This is it, finally. Back to the good old days of true Survival Horror!" How wrong I was. I'd accepted many of changes Capcom had made to the Resident Evil series, specifically from Resident Evil 4, even though it took me a while. The...

Okami HD
- PS3
'Okami', A Capcom, Clover Studios game for the PS2, is what I believe to be one of the most unappreciated games of the decade. At the time of it's release, in 2006, it was dwarfed by the prospects of incoming games such as 'Final Fantasy XII', 'Gears of War' and 'The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'. Against such anticipated titles 'Okami', which had even achieved several awards for best co...

Rage
- Xbox 360
It has been a while since id Software created a new game and over a decade since we had seen a new intellectual property from them. To put it into perspective: before the eras of overabundant modern warfare/WWII first-person shooters, perks, and the two weapons limit id has not created a new franchise. After roughly six years in development by the team that made the fps genre what it is today...

Hitman: Absolution
- PC
“Nothing could piss on this day!” – Guard before he took his daily afternoon window dive. Hitman: Absolution is the first Hitman game I’ve played, and it’s left a relatively positive mark on me. There isn’t much to say about the story as you spend the game chasing after a little girl, but there are memorable characters. The game’s main antagonists hilariously mirror one another in the way th...

The Orange Box
- Xbox 360
In today’s age of gaming, there’s rarely a time where players could be convinced a sixty-dollar product is worth twice of what they have paid for, doubly so when it comes to the FPS market. Valve, the most audacious “big-name” developer/publisher in the business, set to change that with this satiable collection of past and present titles that either innovate—or reinvigorate—storytelling, puzzl...

Hitman: Absolution
- Xbox 360
If you were to ever discuss the Hitman video-game series with friends who have played it or long term fans, the first thing they will most likely discuss is what they had done during a mission. They would talk in graphic detail of how they stalked their victim to a remote location and snapped his neck, while others “strategically” thought about how they removed of their target and make it look...

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
- PS Vita
PlayStation All-Stars has always from the time is was announced was always labeled as the Super Smash Brothers rip-off and at first glance it is. But as far this review goes, that is as far as the comparisons of the two goes. While played on the Vita, the game is great and plays the same on the PS3. A lot of my online play was with cross play between both consoles. PlayStation All Stars is a...

Hitman: Absolution
- Xbox 360
Warning: minor spoilers in the event a reader has not kept up with Absolution videos or developments, or have experienced the game themselves. It feels like it was just yesterday that Hitman: Absolution was announced, but sometimes the wait was almost entirely unbearable. With the previous instalment, Blood Money, having been released about six years ago, it seems like Absolution was a long...

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
- PS3
The PS3 has no games. So went the common fanboy's refrain in 2006-Jun 2008. Now, most reasonable people (non-fanboys) will admit that there was a time when the PS3 really did not have good games. But at the same time most will question the idea that it took almost two years for the PS3 to get good games. Uncharted (2007) stands out as an example of what the PS3 could do. However, was this truly...

The Infinite Black
- Android
The best way to introduce "The Infinite Black", by mobile developer Whalesong Games, is to classify it as a simpler, portable, version of EvE online. The game revolves around the player starting off in a weak space shuttle on the Earth Sector. Moving on from there, everything you do is entirely up to you. Like in EvE, the complexity of the game is up to the player base, and there is no real...

Assassin's Creed III
- PS3
**Single Player Review** After finally convincing myself to give up on the Assassin's Creed series, I found myself interested in Assassin's Creed 3. To be honest, I really enjoyed AC1, it was a very unique game during it's inception and provided us with some interesting stealth/platform gameplay, and, can't forget about it's gorgeous scenery and mountain like structures to climb. AC2 was ok...
