Review: Blood Bowl (by Adeptus Ace)

Xantiriad — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:17:06 +0000

I’ve played Blood Bowl in table top format, so I skipped the tutorial and created a wood elf team to go kick some blood-bowlian ass. The game consists of two teams of 11 players and a match is played in two halves are made up of 8 turns, which can be extended or decreased with [...]

Review: Gyromancer & Dinner Dash (by AdeptusAce)

Xantiriad — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:57:20 +0000

Being the xbox live arcade whore that I am, I downloaded these two new additions, the first for myself, the 2nd as my wife liked the looks of it, the fool of a took!

GYROMANCER [XBLA] I thought at first that this was a puzzle quest clone, well, it is and it isn’t. It’s actually Bejeweled [...]

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Review (Scooby Mad)

Scooby Mad — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:02:46 +0000

Lets get one thing out of the way right now shall we? Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2is a great game. In fact, its probably the best game to grace the 360 this year and if you haven’t bought a copy yet (I cannot believe you’ve done well enough not to) then go [...]

Left 4 Dead 2 Demo

De Mote — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:09:53 +0000

Got to say that I do like Left 4 Dead even if I have not played it in a while. So when I heard Left 4 Dead 2 was coming out I decided to pre-order it from Game. This also gave me the advantage of getting hold of the Demo a week before it is [...]

Review: Brutal Legend (by Scooby Mad)

Xantiriad — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:13:18 +0000

Brutal Legend is the latest game from Tim Schafer, the guy who was involved in Monkey Island, Full Throttle and more recently the director, co-writer and designer of Psychonauts. But is this actually a game worth buying or just some nonsense only a select few will enjoy?

You play Eddie Riggs, voiced superbly by Jack Black. [...]

Review: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (by Scooby Mad)

Xantiriad — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:46:57 +0000

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune was my favourite game on the Playstation 3. Not because it was necessarily the best, but because it felt different. The graphics were bright & colourful (most games tend to go with a drab brown and grey theme) and while the gameplay was tried and tested from many other games the whole [...]

God of War: Chains of Olympus

De Mote — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:44:43 +0000

God of War: Chains of Olympus

God of War: Chains of Olympus is a HUGE technical achievement on the PSP. But is it a PSP Conan? Or can it stand up to the God of War name?

The story of this game takes place before the events of God of War one. It tells the story [...]

Halo ODST- Why did I get it?

De Mote — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:53:32 +0000

This is a strange purchase for me, one because I don’t buy many new games and the reason that I hate Halo with a passion. So why did I purchase it….

I had read a few details about this and was intrigued with it. The first thing is that I love co-op games, that is the [...]
