Modern Warfare 2 was always going to have a lot to live up to, after all it’s the sequel to one of the finest shooters to grace the gaming landscape in recent times – the mighty Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – a game I was more than a little enamoured with and put [...]

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, [...]

As ever I’ve been busy playing games over the last few months and thought I’d catch up with another mega review. I had intended for these to be a little on the shorter side than my regular reviews, but it seems my fingers got a little carried away on a couple of them. Ah well, [...]

Just recently a bunch of beta keys were released for Call of Duty: World at War, the latest entry in the Call of Duty series, a series who’s last entry I loved to pieces. But hearing and reading people’s reactions to the beta it seems my fears regarding the quality of World at War were [...]

First of all a revelation for those people who do not know this yet: my dad plays video games. These days this is not an entirely astounding fact, the so-called ‘casual’ gaming market has added to its ranks many people’s parents and various family members who may have previously shunned gaming as a pastime; and [...]
