    RAGE

    The inventors of the FPS seem to have taken a step backwards.

    Id Software are "the inventors of the FPS", and they just won't shut up about it. Doom, Quake, yeah, we get it already. They go on about it so much that it's hard to believe that they would make a game in which shooting ... Read Full Review

    It's the apocalypse. Bring a mop.

    Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Pack

    It's the apocalypse. Bring a mop.

    (I prefer to write spoiler-free reviews, so I shall endeavour to do so. However, in this case, there are a few things I have to spoil - I will warn you when I do.) It has to be said that Undead Nightmare is incredibly... Read Full Review

    Bugs, borg and political parody, oh my!

    Borderlands: Claptrap's New Robot Revolution

    Bugs, borg and political parody, oh my!

    I must have spent a combined total of two hours in the original game shooting those annoying, unicycled mouth-pieces, to no avail. Now, finally, I have the chance to fill them with holes and throw them on the scrap heap.... Read Full Review

    Even if you hate brawlers, give Bayonetta a chance.

    Bayonetta (United Kingdom)

    Even if you hate brawlers, give Bayonetta a chance.

    I hate brawlers for much the same reason that I hate sports games: You're just doing the same thing over and over again with nothing to show for it. But while Bayonetta does precisely what I hate, I found it ceaselessly ... Read Full Review

    Short and glitchy, but nonetheless fun to play with a friend.

    Army of Two: The 40th Day

    Short and glitchy, but nonetheless fun to play with a friend.

    The first Army of Two was a fun game, but it had some faults. Its biggest problem was that its few co-op gimmicks were overused. The same cannot be said of Army of Two: The Fortieth Day. Rather than playing as a couple o... Read Full Review

    The best Borderlands DLC yet, but not without problems.

    Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

    The best Borderlands DLC yet, but not without problems.

    I, as many did, bought Borderlands on the understanding that there would be a constant stream of DLC to expand the co-op experience. This being the case, the quality of the DLC and that of the base game cannot be measure... Read Full Review

    (Thorough, well-written, spoiler-free review here.)

    Mass Effect 2

    (Thorough, well-written, spoiler-free review here.)

    One of the main reasons I play a game is for the story; I hate reviews that give away spoilers. Since just about everyone else seems incapable of writing a spoiler-free review for Mass Effect 2, I am forced to do so. Ple... Read Full Review

    There's some good, there's some bad - my review covers both.

    Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel

    There's some good, there's some bad - my review covers both.

    The Army of Two franchise seems quaint now. The first game was released shortly after Gears of War had shown the world how much fun well-done two-player co-op can be. The game was built from the ground up around this gim... Read Full Review

    Bioware's writers phoned this one in.

    Dragon Age: Origins

    Bioware's writers phoned this one in.

    Stop me if any of this sounds familiar: You are a brand new member of an ancient order sworn to defend the world against an ancient evil. Said evil returns to threaten the world and YOU are the ONLY ONE who can stop it. ... Read Full Review

    The first game I have ever given a rating of 10.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops II

    The first game I have ever given a rating of 10.

    Perhaps a lot of people felt let down about what this game actually offers because they got caught up in the pre-launch hype. I can't really speak to all the negativity I'm seeing about this game. What I can say is that ... Read Full Review

    While not without its moments, Shadow Complex relies too heavily on nostalgia.

    Shadow Complex

    While not without its moments, Shadow Complex relies too heavily on nostalgia.

    I'll admit it: I am not an 'old-school' gamer. I do not have fond memories of Mario, Metroid, or any other classic side-scroller because those games were before my time. Perhaps this means that I have a more objective vi... Read Full Review
