Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent

Almost in breach of the Sale of Goods Act in the UK .

Some while ago I bought this game, only to find that it would not run on the graphics card that ran every other graphically intensive game just fine, solely because the morons who specc'ed this game thought that they wou... Read Full Review

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Truly dreadful - almost every element has been superceded by other (often older and cheaper) games

I've played a large number of first person shooters and quite a few have been less than great. But few reach the depths of tedium that this game achieves - mechanics are average to grim (I won't go into the cover mechani... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Great looking but ultimately extremely annoying game

First of all it's worth saying that this is one of the best looking games I've played in a while - everything about it is gritty and realistic. The sound is also top notch. And the combination of the two make this a high... Read Full Review

Quake 4

OK - but a like Doom 3 an awful waste of a great graphics engine and ultimately pretty dull

It may be that I've just grown out of FPS that invovle nothing but shooting. I really would have thought that the genre would have moved on since the early Quake/Doom period. But it quite clearly hasn't. Yes this game ha... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 2

Excellent game - atmospheric, furious and involving......with a few things that aren't quite so good

Overall this is everything that you'd expect a sequel to the original Call of Duty to be. The best bit of the game is the way that it creates an atmosphere - it really feels like you're fighting your way through a North ... Read Full Review

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

In places brilliant but for a lot of the time, dull to the point of tedium

In many ways this is a great game - strong story and hugely atmospheric, with gritty quasi-realistic action. Oh and its really pretty bug free, which is a first for this series On the downside - the voice acting and ... Read Full Review

F.E.A.R. Extraction Point

Good game, would be very good if it wasn't for there being very little new.....and its quite short

I really, really liked FEAR and so was waiting with bated breath for the expansion, which was probably a mistake as I invested unrealistic expectations in the game. As it turned out its been OK, although fairly short.... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

After all the hype - hugely disappointing; tedious, repetitive

After the rave reviews this game had received, I had really looked forward to this coming out on the PC. Having just spent 5 hours trying to give it a fair go I am almost at the point of uninstalling it and taking it bac... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

Good game but not great due to serious dumbing down

I am a great fan of the Splinter Cell series. Overall they are immersive, clever games that require a great deal more thought than most. Although the latest addition to the series is a pretty good game, possibly very goo... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Great looking game, ruined in the PC version by control scheme and camera angles

This review really isn't going to say anything that hasn't been said before, but have been so disappointed with this game that I thought it would be cathartic to write a review. My only consolation is that I bought a ba... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II - The Sith Lords

Almost a great game, badly spoiled by poor QA, tedious story and almost complete lack of control over companions actions

I am reviewing this having only got about 10 hours into the game so I have not experienced the problems of truncated plot due to Lucas Arts desperation to maximise the pre-Christmas X-Box profits. Indeed things also have... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Republic Commando

Nothing new at all - is very linear and proscriptive with no option for alternative solutions.

I came to this game with high hopes having played the demo. But unfortunately, what the demo didn't demo (as it were) is the dreadful repetitiveness of this game once you've been playing it for a bit. In many ways indivi... Read Full Review

I Am Alive

Dull and unbelievably linear

For anyone who hasn't played the game this is an adventure game of the 'get mission, go find, bring back' school, with a lot of climbing. Having played for a few hours I can safely say I have never played such a linea... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2: Episode One

Entertaining but OUTRAGEOUSLY short

I wasn't as overwhelmed as many people were by Half Life 2 - sure it was pretty and was fun in parts but suffered from being very repetitive and frankly wasn't the 'greatest game ever' that all the fan boys and girls wou... Read Full Review
