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 [...]

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 [...]

Need for Speed: Shift review by Scoobymad

De Mote — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:07:35 +0000

Review by Scooby Mad

The Need for Speed games have been pretty piss poor as of late. They’ve always sold well, but have become a yearly EA cash in where the quality of the product has declined since the first Underground (with the exception of Most Wanted). They were about street racing, neon’s, noise and [...]

Batman: Arkham Asylum Review

Axiom350 — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 09:01:37 +0000

What choo say?

If you’d have told me a year ago, maybe even 6 months ago, that a Batman game could potentially be game of the year for 2009 I would have laughed, a lot. Then something funny happened – gameplay footage of Arkham Asylum was posted on the internet, and personally I was incredibly [...]

Guitar Hero III: Muse Song Pack

Xantiriad — Thu, 15 May 2008 22:02:00 +0000

I have always been impressed by Muse. Ever since I first experienced them live as an unknown support band for Skunk Anansie back in 1999 they have blown me away. Over the years the epic scope of their music has expanded into ever more cosmic realms demonstrated by their amazing set at Reading Festival in [...]
