This weekend I found myself heading to London town to check out the last day of the Eurogamer Expo and take a look at a number of upcoming titles that were there. It was a pretty good day out all in all and there were a bunch of great games to get hands on with, [...]

Once again it’s been another set of busy months for me on a number of fronts and so effort for writing full reviews for those games helping keep me busy has somewhat gone out of the window. However, here’s another quick review blast for those games that have been occupying my time recently:

I’ve been running through my fair share of video games lately, and one thing I noticed about a few of them as I was playing was that either I’ve become extremely fickle, or there are some really balls-to-the-wall bad ideas being trumpeted right at the start of games that really make the entire game unplayable.  [...]

Over the last few months or so I’ve been intending to write reviews for a number of games that I’ve played and beaten, though the distraction of playing the games themselves or lack of inspiration when it came to writing that never quite happened. However, so as not to leave them forgotten before I move [...]

When Mirror’s Edge first appeared you couldn’t help but be intrigued. DICE, long-time developers of the (rather successful) Battlefield series FPSs were ditching the ‘S’ to create a platform/adventure game in the first-person.

Deciding to wrap the entire thing up in a blanket of cinematic portrayal and seriously blur the line between film and [...]

The Guardian Legend is somewhat of a mystery to me. I remember asking my mom to buy it for me at a mysterious toy store when I was a kid. I remember clearly having no idea what the game was, but I was drawn in by it’s box art, which like most NES games, showed [...]

Let’s get this out of the way up front: I am a big fan of the Lost TV series. I even enjoyed season two with all its hatch-based nonsense-mongering. I like a good bit of adventure and mystery, and the show’s use of flashbacks really appeals to me. However, my interest hits its limits with [...]

When I was a kid I used to play with Lego (essentially building blocks, for anyone who is now sat with a look of puzzlement on their face). I had a really big box full of the stuff and I loved playing with it. Whilst you could get sets for building pre-determined things, complete with [...]
