    An awesome example of how real-time strategy can produce some of the best games around.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War

    An awesome example of how real-time strategy can produce some of the best games around.

    Real Time Strategy games aren't exactly in their golden age these days. Back in olden times, i'd often sit at home of a saturday night, neglecting any social life for a few hours of Westwood's "Red Alert". Nowadays, immi... Read Full Review

    One of the most disappointing games on the XBox 360; and here's why.

    Perfect Dark Zero

    One of the most disappointing games on the XBox 360; and here's why.

    Perfect Dark was the shooter which set the standard for others to follow. It's awesomeness was so unrivalled, the Nintendo 64 needed an add-on just so it could run it. It was truly, the gem in the crown of Rare. The old ... Read Full Review

    Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis

    A surprising title from Rockstar Games; but does this translate to a quality gaming experience?

    One thing stuck out as i played this game, and i'm sure other gamers will have thought the same. Imagine if the title on the front of the box said "Table Tennis". Imagine if Rockstar hadn't hyped this game up to oblivion... Read Full Review

    The inevitable simulation of the world's biggest, craziest football festivities.

    FIFA World Cup: Germany 2006

    The inevitable simulation of the world's biggest, craziest football festivities.

    Well, it's World Cup time once again. And with these months of tension and chaos comes yet another licensed title from EA Sports. It's in the game, don't you know. Before i begin, let me tell you that EA have easily t... Read Full Review

    The first blockbuster for the Xbox 360; though with the benefit of hindsight, it's really not all it's cracked up to be.

    Gears of War

    The first blockbuster for the Xbox 360; though with the benefit of hindsight, it's really not all it's cracked up to be.

    Gears of War has been elevated to blockbuster status since its release last winter. Much like Microsoft's Halo, it's become the game to own. The sequel to look forward to. Unlike Halo however, Gears is completely undeser... Read Full Review

    Ninety-Nine Nights delivers an epic, next-gen hack 'n slash adventure.... at least for the first half hour or so.

    Ninety-Nine Nights

    Ninety-Nine Nights delivers an epic, next-gen hack 'n slash adventure.... at least for the first half hour or so.

    Ninety-Nine Nights delivers the same hack 'n slash gameplay you'd normally associate with long running franchises such as Dynasty Warriors, or the relatively new Kingdom Under Fire series, the producer of which managed t... Read Full Review

    Chromehounds is a game loaded with potential; but it takes some serious dedication to truly enjoy what's on offer.

    Chromehounds

    Chromehounds is a game loaded with potential; but it takes some serious dedication to truly enjoy what's on offer.

    In many ways, Chromehounds could be considered a unique experience. There are plenty of mech games on the market, from Steel Battalion all the way to Mech Assault, but Chromehounds manages to distinguish itself to such a... Read Full Review

    Crackdown is a brilliantly fun concept; if only it weren't so poorly executed

    Riot Act

    Crackdown is a brilliantly fun concept; if only it weren't so poorly executed

    Crackdown takes the increasinly popular sandbox genre and takes it one step further. For better or worse, there are no missions to be completed. No plot to work through. No structure of any kind. In Crackdown, freedom is... Read Full Review
