BloodRayne review
BloodRayne is not a taut scare game or a breathtaking artsy experience. It's an over-the-top action title with horror elements that hits all of the right marks, and sometimes that's all you need.

Zombie Shooter 2 review
Even as a cheap thrill, Zombie Shooter 2 fails to impress, as its unwarranted frustration factor will leave you looking for a more intense and less irksome experience.

Slender: The Eight Pages review
When I think about my favorite fear moments in video games, the ones that come immediately to mind are those in which I’ve had no ability to fight. Escaping from the Nemesis in Raccoon City; pounding my way through rooms in the Himuro…

Wonder Boy review
Ask any owner of the console if there were any franchises synonymous with the Master System, and you'll likely get Alex Kidd or Wonder Boy as your top answer.

Clock Tower review
Clock Tower has some bite to it, mostly because you are not as enabled as Leon Kennedy or even Alan Wake. Your choice of heroes includes a school girl, her not-combat-trained friend, an investigator, and a reporter. In other words, you're…

Soul review
I wish I could further yammer on about Soul and its face-breaking difficulty, but the truth is it's a very simple, straightforward game. What you see is what you get. You guide a soul through passageways and try not to touch obstructions…

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir review
As a tech demo, Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir is an excellent piece of programming, making extensive use of three of the Nintendo 3DS’s internal features: gyroscope, camera, and 3D. Too bad Nintendo did not price it like a tech demo…

Gradius III review
Mangled. Stripped down. Butchered. One could easily choose these words to describe the SNES port of Gradius III, then go on to complain about missing segments, cut stages, and mass amounts of slowdown when the screen is packed with too…

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron review
At first glance, most modern gamers will think that this title is a pure copy of the Gears of War games, due to the similar interface and gameplay. You control your robots through the familiar over-the-shoulder look, and guide them through…

Mindjack review
If it wasn't for its gimmick, Mindjack could have been the most timid third-person cover shooter I've played in recent memory. The flow follows the formula with such generic conviction, going from segmented area to segmented area as you…

Sleeping Dogs review
Sleeping Dogs wouldn't have even existed without Square Enix and that could only have been bad thing. Activision didn’t want to give it a chance, but that most certainly doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t either. Delve into the seedy and…

King's Knight review
Although it sounded like an interesting hybrid of shooter and RPG, the mix wasn't enough to hold my attention as a kid. Without the game's selling point to hold me in thrall, there was nothing to dull the stiff challenge I experienced.

Anarchy Reigns review
The multiplayer... the main focus of Anarchy Reigns and the obvious reason the game has been stripped of its former glory.

Centipede: Infestation review
Centipede: Infestation could best be described more as a reimagination than a bastardisation of the Centipede franchise. While only superficially resembling the classic arcade game, Infestation does borrow heavily from other arcade games…

Mega Man 6 review
I want to reflect for a moment on how much Mega Man 6 represented the end of an era. The first Mega Man was released in 1987, only two years after the Nintendo Entertainment System came to Western shores. It appeared in the same year as…

Rage review
When RAGE is in its comfort zone we're treated to a masterclass in brutal combat - a graduate from the Doom and Quake academy. Outside it we see a genuine attempt to step out of the shadow of those very classics, but without any meaningful…

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 review
In a way, the game feels like a return to form, since it flows more like the first Sonic title than the second, and dare I say, acts almost like the real successor to Sonic 1.

D review
Tonight I bring you a review I had hoped never to write. I like to play my games before I pen something about them, but D left me with no such option. I don’t mean to imply that I watched a trailer or read the blurb on the back of the box…
