Bunch of Heroes

Bunch Of Heroes is a by-the-numbers, generic, soulless 4 player twin-stick co-operative shooter.

From the very moment you fire up NGD Studios' Bunch Of Heroes it becomes abundantly clear that firstly, this game is meant to be played with a gamepad (with Xbox 360 controller button prompts being offered ahead of key p... Read Full Review

Q.U.B.E.

QUBE is a fantastic example of engaging, innovative puzzle platforming, drawing upon Portal for inspiration.

QUBE (Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion is what it stands for, if you were wondering) is a fantastic example of engaging, innovative puzzle platforming, drawing upon Portal for inspiration, but not copying it verbat... Read Full Review

Anno 2070

Related Designs' Anno 2070 is the latest entry in the long-running and underappreciated Anno series, making the jump into a future Earth ravaged by climate change with rising sea levels and collapsed mega cities. Your jo... Read Full Review

Fable III

Stick with Fable 2. All naughty words replaced with comedic replacements for your amusement.

Before I get into ranting overdrive, let me give you the bottom line from the very beginning. Fable 3 is not as good as Fable 2. It pales in comparison. It's less satisfying and less engaging - really not what you'd expe... Read Full Review

With the Summer holidays drawing to a close, and Microsoft's Summer of Arcade promotion being over since the middle of August, I think it's time I gave Shadow Complex the glowing review it deserves. Shadow Complex is ... Read Full Review

Syndicate

Syndicate is a stylish, visceral, if short game with fantastic gun play characteristic of the studio behind it.

Syndicate is the 2012 FPS re-imagining of Bullfrog's isometric squad-based RTS put together by Starbreeze Studios (The Darkness, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay). While the shift to an FPS has ruffled ... Read Full Review

The Darkness II

The Darkness 2 improves on the gameplay of its predecessor in every way.

I loved the original Darkness title. I loved its atmosphere, its tone, its story and its gameplay. It was a real underappreciated gem in the early days of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Imagine my disappointment upon he... Read Full Review
