One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 removes the dud and keeps what it knows best - the frantic Dynasty Warriors action

Tecmo Koei’s Dynasty Warriors series is a formula that could be applied to so many franchises. We’ve already seen the company move from various eras, such as the Sengoku era of Japan’s history or the Hu... Read Full Review

Rayman Legends

Ubisoft should be proud that they released the best 2D platformer in over 15 years

Sometimes I wish I could just leave a phrase and be done with a review, not to be lazy, but to leave an impactful statement that would get everyone talking. You see, something hit me when I was playing Rayman Legendsand ... Read Full Review

Killer Is Dead

Killer Is Dead is a fun title that hits the Japanese quirkiness that we occasionally expect from Japan.

If you’re a fan of Grasshopper Manufacture, then you know what you’re getting into when it comes to every Goichi Suda (Suda 51) directed or influenced game that comes out from that studio. Grasshopper Manufac... Read Full Review

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Ultimate Edition

MercurySteam has taken successful mechanics from combat-focused, character action games and blended it with Castlevania

I was pleasantly surprised when Castlevania: Lords of Shadow released in 2010 – mainly for the fact that it was a great 3D Castlevania game that I thought would never happen during this generation’s home cons... Read Full Review

Disney DuckTales: Remastered

A remake with charming visuals and faithful gameplay created by developers who appear to be big fans of the original.

Looking back to the start of the 90s and progressing forward towards the end of the 16-bit era, it’s actually surprising how well some of the licensed Disney video games turned out to be. I have fonder memories of ... Read Full Review

Saints Row IV (Commander in Chief Edition)

Saints Row IV is a fantastic title that feels like the developers were never restricted from creating their own vision.

Crazy, insane, nutty, wacky, bizarre, ridiculous and comical are all words that probably came out of your mouth while playing the 2011 extraordinarily absurd Saints Row: The Third. Volition has done wonders to change the... Read Full Review

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded will feel like a relic creeping into the modern age.

The original release of Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards (that’s a mouth full) was dated way back in 1987. Man, thinking about that year, I was on my way to turning three years old. As you can i... Read Full Review

Rise of the Triad

This is a faithful remake of a very old first-person shooter that hasn't sacrificed it’s soul for modern gaming.

Apogee Software may have helped to release one of the most faithful remakes in the history of video games. If you’ve not head of Rise of the Triad, then it’s probably because you didn’t play PC games ba... Read Full Review

PixelJunk Monsters: Ultimate HD

PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate HD remains just as good as it ever was

The Vita has proven itself to be a powerful handheld with its cross-buy function, allowing fans with both a PS3 and a Vita to play the same game across both platforms without having to buy the game twice. Not only that, ... Read Full Review

Joe Danger 2: The Movie

These Joe Danger games are smartly-designed, fantastic pieces of fun.

I’m either deaf of blind, because I never heard or read that the Joe Danger series was coming to Steam – it just suddenly arrived. Not that I have a problem with that, as the Joe Dangergames are brilliant lit... Read Full Review

Time and Eternity

I have come away disappointed with Time and Eternity after it seemed so gorgeous.

The whole reason why I noticed Time and Eternity (or Toki Towa as I knew it before it was announced for a Western release) was because of the vivid and interesting art style. It’s different from the norm, even when... Read Full Review

Dynasty Warriors 8

Dynasty Warriors 8 is the best entry in the mainline series to have ever been conceived.

I first discovered the Dynasty Warriors franchise through Dynasty Warriors 4. It was one of my first imported games from America (I had an imported PS2 because I wanted to play Suikoden III at the time), and I was in lov... Read Full Review

Rush Bros

Rush Bros.’ potential of music blended with platforming falls short of its promise.

I am a huge fan of music and rhythm games, especially ones that seem to be far-fetched from the definition of “normal,” which is why some of my favourites include titles like Bust-a-Groove,Osu! Tatakae! Ouend... Read Full Review

TrackMania 2 Valley

TrackMania 2 Valley is a strange one to review, it's great, but lacks features.

I jumped into the TrackMania series with TrackMania Sunrise, the second entry in the franchise. Sunrise was a great-looking game for its time, coming with the three environments of Island, Bay and Coast for me to experie... Read Full Review

The Walking Dead: 400 Days

Fans should not hesitate picking up The Walking Dead: 400 Days

There’s no doubt that Telltale’s The Walking Dead was a smash hit last year. It sold in the millions and ended up being the studio’s biggest release ever. It wasn’t just the sales that Telltale ha... Read Full Review

Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within

Jack Keane 2 has some issues, but his adventure is mostly an enjoyable one.

Jack’s back – and no, I don’t mean the CTU agent made famous by Kiefer Sutherland. I mean Jack Keane, the hero from the game with the same name. The original Jack Keane was a 3D point-and-click adventur... Read Full Review

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing

Van Helsing is a rather fun ARPG that has a lot going for it, that is if you want to play on your own.

I’ll be honest with everyone reading this review: I don’t know much about Van Helsing. The limited knowledge I have is that the character was created in Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel and is known for hunt... Read Full Review

GRID 2

The return of the GRID franchise isn't as ground-breaking, but it is still a great racer.

Looking back at the huge catalogue of racing games that came out in the 7th generation of console gaming, I would say that Codemasters’ original GRID was certainly up there as one of my favourites. GRID was filled ... Read Full Review

The Last of Us

Naughty Dog has taken what it’s learnt from Uncharted and created storytelling excellence, great combat and tension.

After the reveal of The Last of Us and hearing that the extremely talented people at Naughty Dog were behind this new IP, I was never going to be concerned if this was going to be a decent game. Just look at the studio&r... Read Full Review

Remember Me

Remember Me is a decent title that will most likely be forgotten by most and remembered by so few.

It’s ironic that I am covering a game about memories when I had completely forgotten about the first reveal of Remember Me. It first surfaced back in 2011 at Germany’s GamesCom show, where it was teased as &l... Read Full Review

The Night of the Rabbit (Premium Edition)

Filled with charm, beautiful art, lovely music and good characters, this game is spoilt solely by its puzzles.

The foundation of the story is one Jeremiah Hazelnut’s inescapable adventure as a magician’s apprentice into the wonderful world of magic. After summoning a humanoid rabbit named Marquis de Hoto, Jeremiah is ... Read Full Review

Thunder Wolves

A game like Thunder Wolves is aimed at doing one thing in mind, offering players the chance to blow crap up.

This may sound like a stereotypical male, but man, I love explosions. Thankfully, loving explosions won't get me into trouble in a virtual world. If there was one period that promoted the enjoyment of explosions, it was ... Read Full Review

Soul Sacrifice

Soul Sacrifice stands on its own as an enjoyable title with an ambitious sacrifice concept – it just not quite right.

Sony's Vita is still crying for that game to signal a rebirth. The Vita hasn't hit its stride and Sony bizarrely hasn't gone into panic mode yet, something Nintendo did when the 3DS was lacking momentum after its release... Read Full Review

Metro: Last Light (Limited Edition)

Last Light brings across its aesthetics from the original and improves upon them visually and thematically.

Metro 2033 was a beautiful looking first-person shooter that imply oozed atmosphere. The mysterious setting of post-apocalyptic Russia won me over, sticking most of the action in gloomy underground tunnels, where seeing ... Read Full Review

Soul Sacrifice

Resident Evil: Revelations

A well-done port for newcomers to the game and at the same time a reminder that Resident Evil can be a great game.

Last year's release of the once-3DS-exclusive Resident Evil: Revelations was one of my favourite games for the system. Looking back, 2012 wasn't exactly the best year for the franchise in terms of quality or the games up... Read Full Review

ShootMania Storm

It sure won't be a game for everyone - it doesn't do well to introduce new players - but I feel that the gameplay speaks

When Ubisoft announced the ManiaPlanet platform at its E3 2010 press conference and at the same time revealed two titles that would join with TrackMania 2 in the Mania family, these being ShootMania and QuestMania, I was... Read Full Review

Sacred Citadel

Sacred Citadel isn't a bad game, but it's not particularly worthy either, it's confined to the roots of modest fun.

I have a soft spot for the side-scrolling beat-em-up genre. It started way back on the Super Nintendo and the Sega Mega Drive with my love for – in my eyes, two of the best entries in the genre – Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur... Read Full Review

Dead Island: Riptide

More of the same, yeah, it sounds like a bad case of deja vu, but that is exactly what Dead Island: Riptide is.

In an industry that likes to shout out about making things bigger, improving mechanics to make games better or coming up with an innovative idea, it's highly amusing that the sequel to 2011's rather popular Dead Island s... Read Full Review

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

Scoring this re-release budget as an expansion for existing players - it's only recommended for the hardcore.

Last year's Dragon's Dogma was a huge surprise for me. I had not paid much attention to the title, but due to my inherent love of role-playing games, I simply had to check it out upon its release. Lo and behold, it ended... Read Full Review

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is the best entry in the franchise and a great place to start if you've never played them.

The Monster Hunter franchise is one of the more polarising games when considering the differences in tastes of the Japanese and Western video game market. There are a multitude of reasons about why it is so popular in th... Read Full Review
