Elevator Action

Such a simple concept yet incredibility addictive game.

There seems to be a common theme before the release of Elevator Action back in 1983 – that is crap, crap, Pac Man clones, Space Invaders clones, crappy arcade ports and did I mentioned crap? In all seriousness, th... Read Full Review

Delta Force (1998)

Intense and tactical, it’s a must play and even better if you tag along with friends.

+ Realistic / myriad of difficulty options / open world / excellent coop mode- Needs more varied landscapes / missions tends to repeat itself over a period of time / M4 overpowered by a long shot1st Special Forces Operat... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - The Da Vinci Disappearance

Just like the other Assassins Creed DLCs, it's a lost opportunity.

Note: This is the PC version of The Da Vinci Disappearance.There’s was a bit of a bromance going on between Ezio and Da Vinci as if it wasn’t for Da Vinci, Ezio wouldn’t have used all the cool stuff lik... Read Full Review

Borderlands: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned

For a DLC, it’s not too shabby as there’s a lot of content instead of just changing your hair colour (so-to-speak).

Borderlands and I have a bit of a love-hate relationship. The love is for the open world however the hate is that there’s not much to explore. The love is for diverse characters you get to choose from yet the hate ... Read Full Review

Reversion - The Escape

The game wasn’t thrilling at all yet enjoyable enough to finish it off...and it's free.

Oh those amnesia stories…how much I loath them. To me, those storylines are a total copout of trying to tell a suspenseful plot by ‘discovering’ your past. Yet some have done a reasonable job like Stal... Read Full Review

Legacy: Dark Shadows

A point and click adventure game that tries to be like the adventure games greats however falls down in a lot of areas.

Before jumping into conclusions, let me tell you what this game is not about first. First thing – it’s not about the TV Show Dark Shadows that aired from 1966 to 1971 so there’s no werewolves, zombies a... Read Full Review

Mortyr 2093 - 1944

Mortyr - the game that suffers from an identity crisis.

If I have to say a few words to describe this game it can be summarised as suffering from an identity crisis or maybe lacking vision. I’m not sure why I decided to play this game – maybe it’s because it... Read Full Review

The Hell in Vietnam

It all boils down to another budget title shooter with plenty of green hues.

Without going into too much political debates, it would be difficult to find a balance between non-fictional events and gameplay. Granted some actually done a decent job balancing the two together (Vietcong / Call of Dut... Read Full Review

K-Hawk: Survival Instinct

All I can say is I’m glad I finished it as it was a struggle until the end.

With the popularity of stealth games on the rise thanks to the Thief and Metal Gear Solid series, the writing is on the wall where budget titles will give it a go. One of them is naturally this game, K. Hawk - Survival I... Read Full Review

Transylvania

A decent game with some creepy moments however with a bit more improvements can go a long way.

* Note: This is the Atari computer review *Adventure games in the early 80s are pretty much dominated by two major players being Adventure International (Scott Adams) and Infocom (maker of Zork I and II). Known for their... Read Full Review

Fallout 2

Now I understand how women communicate.

War…war never changes. Arguably one of the most famous quotes in video game history thus far, those few words summarise the Fallout universe to a T and being narrated by Ron Perlman is always a good thing. On the ... Read Full Review

F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate

Whilst it's not a canon, it's still worth a playthrough as it kept that same intense gameplay.

We all like surprises no matter how large or small. You know, on the surface, it looks mediocre however once opened, it’s a lot better than expected. This notion is how I felt about Fear: Perseus Mandate as on the ... Read Full Review

Driver

Maybe racing games or even 70s high speed chase flicks won’t interest you, Driver will change all of that.

With the title being ‘Driver’, the expectations will be tonnes of petrol talk, grunting, lots of cars stats and your knowledge of cars should be nothing less than the Ferrari F1 team. Well if I tell you to th... Read Full Review

Spear of Destiny

It’s a disappointment to see that the Spear of Destiny does not improve from the original game.

The success of Wolfenstein 3D took the world by storm with its fast paced game play style so it was really no surprise that id Software will be releasing more Wolfenstein games. The first of the rack is Wolfenstein: Spea... Read Full Review

Jawbreaker

Just play the arcade version of Pac Man.

Whatever. Clones, clones, clones – you gotta love them…not. Well maybe some however many are an absolute total rip off from kingdom come. Take, for instance, Jawbreaker – calling it not a clone? Ok, le... Read Full Review

Pitfall!

Squeezing this fun game into an 8k cartridge is pretty damn impressive.

What amazes me at times is what you can do with a limited amount of resources available. You know, you have a great idea, streamline it then squeeze everything in a tiny space that will entertain you and others for hours... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

It took all the strengths of AC2 and add a few more features to set this game apart from its sister game.

To do a follow-up adventure for Assassin's Creed will be nothing more than a challenging task as Assassin's Creed 2 was one of the finest games I have ever played for this decade. It has everything that any gamers could ... Read Full Review

Section 8

It’s the little things that count…

Section 8 is an odd piece of game – the opening cut scene shows eminences of Quake 2; the jet packs of Tribes 2 (less the ‘skiing’); the crunching sounds and general feel of Unreal Tournament 2004, the ... Read Full Review

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - Teeth of Naros

I regret nothing.

I have played many DLCs in the past and sadly the majority of them felt like left over scraps – stuff where the vermin are the only ones who would enjoy them. Void of any real storyline or simply additions to the m... Read Full Review

Crossfire (1983)

A game that truly lives for its title, only your nerves and forward planning will dictate your expiry date.

When you thought that we have seen every version of shoot-em up games possible, along comes another that adds a little twist to that genre. Crossfire is one of them as the title suggests, you will be in a crossfire as it... Read Full Review

Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft

Once thing is for certain, Tomb Raider III is the hardest of the three by a mile.

Way back when, there was this demo disc called Station Magazine Demo – Disc One and on this, you get to see virtual Lara. Looking at it now she wiggles like a fish however back then, it was pretty damn cool as she ... Read Full Review

Into the Dark (2012)

It's busted beyond repair.

There comes a time where you need to take warning about low budget games. Granted that some are absolute winners yet some are just downright rotten to the core. Those types of games makes you wonder how on earth it past... Read Full Review

Armed Forces Corp.

A non-imaginary title spells a non-imaginary game and if the manual doesn't help, what hope do you have?

When you have a title called ‘Armed Forces Corps’, it's frankly not imaginative by a long shot. It's like stating I'm playing a game called ‘Soldier’ or ‘Guy’. Nevertheless, I consulte... Read Full Review

Code of Honor 2: Conspiracy Island

At least it lived up to its title as it’s got nothing to do with French people or mysteries of any sorts.

Code of Honour 2: Conspiracy Island – what does that tells you? An island full of mysteries and intrigue? Well that's a total conspiracy in itself as this game has absolutely nothing to do with conspiracy as it pla... Read Full Review

Operation Thunderstorm

If it maintain that ominous feeling, it would be a sinister game indeed.

Publishers and developers City Interactive has its fair share of hits and misses. Actually more misses than hits as rightfully so, they never advertised as being a AAA developer. However there are bound to strike gold on... Read Full Review

Gothic

Good things happen to those who wait.

If I fully describe the first thirty minutes of my adventures in Gothic, I feel most gamers will simply give up. Let me summarise it for you – I start out in a mining colony, gets belted up by some thugs only to be... Read Full Review

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - The Legend of Dead Kel

If you are planning just doing the main quest, you are giving this DLC a disservice.

When the Legend of Dead Kel was first announced as a DLC for The Kingdoms of Amalur, admittedly I groaned a little. You know, zombies, pirates and then some zombie pirates. However, even though it had these elements, Dea... Read Full Review

Spy Hunter

Whilst graphically inferior to its arcade cousin, the gameplay still has the same intensity.

Undoubtedly Spy Hunter was a huge success in the arcades back in 1983. Has a James Bond type of feel where you drive a pretty impressive car in top down view, armed with the default machine guns at the front of the car, ... Read Full Review

Euro Truck Simulator (Gold)

If it wasn’t for the career objectives, I probably enter this game into an early retirement.

SCS Software specialised in making truck simulations from its humble beginnings back in 1997 with Hard Truck. From then on in, it concentrated on the American theater with its successful 18 Wheels of Steel series. This g... Read Full Review

Thief Gold

*** This review only covers the additional features of Thief and not the original game itself ***

Probably unbeknownst by developers Looking Glass, Thief was a great success considering the innovative features it presented itself – well not exactly innovative however features that was in a workable state. Howe... Read Full Review

Thief: The Dark Project

This game is not for everyone however if you don’t give it a chance, you’ll never experience a masterpiece in motion.

One of the realities of life is that it's full of risks. Every decision you make has an element of risk as nothing is 100% risk proof – whether it's the decision you make to buy an item or simply walking down to me... Read Full Review

Damnation is a product released way too late to capitalise its strongest features.

Galaxy On Fire 2 Full HD

If you are new to the trading / space sim genre and want a taste for it, this is the game to play.

Gameplay: 8 (easy to learn / decent controls / great selection of ships / storyline is a joke though) Graphics: 9 (lives up to its HD title considering the budget to make it / font size needs readjusting) Sounds: 7 (de... Read Full Review

Welcome to the dawning of a new world.

Gameplay: 9 Graphics: 10 Sounds: 8 Value: 8 Tilt: 9 It's seems like the life of a syndicate warlord is pretty tough in the year 2096. Gone are the governments (as they have little control of any human affairs) and... Read Full Review

Restricted Area (2005)

With a bit more spit and polish, this game could surely kick some serious ass.

Before the release of Restricted Area, it was a game of many promises (then again, what game didn't). It promised a powerful game engine, advanced AI, advanced combat system, complex role playing system, dynamic dialogue... Read Full Review
