Prototype
Think of it as the summer action blockbuster of games.
Gamers like freedom. Nobody enjoys a game that constricts you to a limited area, and doesn't allow you to tamper or mess with anything in the vicinity; and the more space open to explore and the more things available for... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: World at War
Delivers a polished singleplayer experience, and also changed my opinion about multiplayer in general.
In recent years, game developers have latched onto World War II and milked it for all it's worth; now that gaming has the potential for delivering gritty, mature experiences with stunning visuals to pull you in, reimagin... Read Full Review

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Once the bugs are fixed, you'll find a game that, although flawed, is fun enough to keep you wanting more
First and foremost, before even starting up this game, you need the unofficial patch. Even with the 1.2 official patch, this game is one of the buggiest around, and is pretty much unplayable. Don't believe the fan boys. ... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 5
A standard third person shooter that tries not to be one.
In the games industry, change can be a wonderful thing. It can entice new people to try something they normally wouldn't, keep a game series seemingly fresh and original, and help developers to delay the inevitability of... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
The most well-rounded and fun Splinter Cell game to date.
Chaos Theory is much more of the same rock-solid stealth gameplay seen in the previous two iterations, without so many profound updates in the mix. Not that this is a bad thing; as long as you're not expecting any partic... Read Full Review

Pet Vet 3D: Animal Hospital Down Under - First Impressions.
As there are no other reviews here yet I thought I would post one. I have played this game no longer than 30 minutes, but first impressions are better than nothing!! This game is definately geared towards young girls,... Read Full Review

No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way
Should be played by anyone who can appreciate some light hearted fun and well-balanced gameplay.
When I look back over my relatively short time as a gamer, there are a bunch of games I hold fond memories of, and every now and then I have an overwhelming sense of nostalgia towards a particular game and have to play t... Read Full Review

Mass Effect is a third person Action-RPG boasting an expansive galaxy for players to explore, and an intricate role playing experience in which your actions affect the story. Mass Effect received much attention prior to ... Read Full Review

Gears of War 2
It feels fresh and updated enough to actually be considerably better than the original game.
Gears of War 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed game, and follows on from the end of the original plot, continuing the war against the locust. The game turns out to be very analogous to the original, but with su... Read Full Review

Portal
A completely unique experience in which the only glaring problem is how short it is.
Portal is very unique. For a start, it's a first person game with a large emphasis on puzzles and platforming rather than killing everything in sight; and it's also a truly funny game, something not seen very often these... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2: Episode Two
Ultimately, this could be the best Half-Life game to date if it wasn't so short.
Half-Life 2: Episode Two continues the story laid out by Half-Life 2 and Episode One, now taking you even further from City 17, into the depths of a forest and caves, once again with Alyx as a teammate. Episode Two sets ... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2: Episode One
Builds on your relationship to the supporting character and introduces an interesting sense of teamwork to the series.
Half-Life 2: Episode One, marks the start of Valve's rather rocky journey into episodic content. The game carries on where Half-Life 2 left off; so without giving the ending of Half-Life 2 away, the goal is now to journe... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed is a great idea with some annoying flaws, which are almost exclusively in its gameplay.
Assassin's Creed is a game actually 'set' in the future, following the capture of a guy who is taken to a lab of sorts so that white coat scientists can force him to relive the memories of one of his ancestors. His ances... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Nijuu Spy

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Colourful and vibrant visuals, punctuated by an exceptional soundtrack that helps portray an exaggerated 80s setting
I wouldn't be so bold as to call GTA: Vice City a masterpiece; that would be a little asinine. It's certainly not the most mature or sophisticated of games, nor does it have much artistic value. But regardless of all tha... Read Full Review

Tomb Raider: Underworld
A step backward.
Crystal Dynamics realised the errors of their ways. While Tomb Raider: Legend was good fun, it certainly felt very arcade-like, too action-focused and not really anything like the older Tomb Raider games. Tomb Raider: An... Read Full Review

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
Great combat and varied level design make up for the lacking horror sections.
I remember F.E.A.R. as one of the better games of 2005 on the PC. It mixed intense combat with superb psychological horror, cutting edge graphics and a good (if slightly confusing) story. F.E.A.R. 2 mostly lives up to th... Read Full Review

Far Cry 2
A lengthy game that can be great fun, but often repetitive and frustrating.
I always felt that if Far Cry got rid of those overpowered, annoying monsters in the first game, and just stuck to humans, while keeping the structure of the game, it would have been awesome. The game WAS awesome up unti... Read Full Review

Saints Row
Saints Row is nothing we haven't seen before, but it does what it does very well.
Saints Row is mindless childish fun. Just what the doctor ordered sometimes when you dont want to think much and would rather just be blowing stuff up. Though its a GTA clone its definately one of the better ones. The... Read Full Review

Need for Speed ProStreet
Not a bad game in its own right, but inferior as a Need For Speed game.
Theres nothing particularly wrong with ProStreet at all, in fact I mostly enjoyed it from start to finish. But its true what you may have heard... as a Need For Speed game it sucks. Need For Speed is about cop chases,... Read Full Review

Mafia

Half-Life holds up as a superb game that has aged very gracefully.

Drakan: Order of the Flame
Drakan can be pretty fun if you dont take it seriously.

Half-Life: Source
Great for Half-Life fans, most other people shouldn't bother.
Rather than reviewing the game itself, i'm going to review the changes from the original game to this one. The first thing I noticed is I could have a widescreen resolution as high as I want, which was expected, but i... Read Full Review

Tomb Raider: Legend
