Men of War

Undiscovered gem. High Learning curve but extremely rewarding.

This game is brutally hard to learn and the single player campaigns throw you straight into the deep end without holding your hand. The developers assume you've played RTSs before and have a degree of expertise. It's lev... Read Full Review

World in Conflict (Collector's Edition)

Raises the bar for all RTS developers.

This is easily my favourite RTS of all time. I think 9.5 is a fair score, personally my only gripe is the length. I'd also like a more flexible single player skirmish mode outside the campaign and online multiplayer. Oth... Read Full Review

Cybernator

The most underrated game of the 16bit era...

Without a doubt this has got to be the best side scrolling action game ever made on the SNES (Mario games aside). I never understood why it didn't make a big impact on reviewers and the general public, it is such a well ... Read Full Review

Street Fighter IV (Collector's Edition)

The second coming of fighting games.

This game single handedly revived the 2D fighting genre on the current gen of consoles. You couldn't ask for more (actually you could, but more on that later) from Capcom; they have produced a masterpiece here. The g... Read Full Review

I bought it about 2 months ago and played it non-stop for 3 days, its that addictive. But then I haven't touched it since. The management aspect is pretty fun, though the movie making was too time consuming for my tastes... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction (Collector's Edition)

One of the best games I've played in the last 3 years. This is how an action game should be.

The production values of this game rank right up there with the best. I would rate this on par with Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Theft Auto 4. It's the first game I can honestly say is a 'playable movie'. Sam Fisher i... Read Full Review

Far Cry 2

Highly ambitious, but didn't impress as much as I'd hoped.

Firstly I have to say I was a big fan of Far Cry the original on PC. I spent many hours playing through the single player and enjoyed every bit of it. Sad to say then, that Far Cry 2 did not provide the level of gaming s... Read Full Review

Saints Row 2 (Collector's Edition)

Some nice little touches, but overall gameplay is shallow.

After reading the generally favourable reviews I decided to buy SR2. However after spending much time on GTA4, this game feels very last-gen. Comparisons with San Andreas are accurate, but do you really think you'd enjoy... Read Full Review

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Not a bad game, but nothing you haven't seen before.

Pros: A solid all round shooter, decent attempt at physics, decent graphics and good sound. Nothing that will blow your mind though. Multiplayer is fairly good. Again, nothing you haven't seen before though. Doesn't r... Read Full Review

Max Payne 3

The best 3rd person shooter to date.

This game is brilliant. Very adult, very gritty and a lot of fun. The story is a combination of Max Payne's original storyline mixed in with a bit of Heat, Tropa de Elite, Phil Campion's Born Fearless and some Die Hard f... Read Full Review

Far Cry 3

Good attempt, but doesn't break new ground.

I bought this on the XBOX 360 and regretted it 20 mins into my first playthrough. The graphics are poor. Very poor. In fact it looks almost identical to Far Cry 2 a few years back. If you have a gaming PC then definitely... Read Full Review

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (Platinum)

Long cutscenes and difficult plot aside, MGS4 is THE greatest game ever made.

Pros: 1. Amazing graphics and atmospheric sound. 2. Highly detailed combat system. 3. Excellent player control. Cons: 1. Cutscenes very long, actual gameplay short in comparison. 2. Story is extremely abstr... Read Full Review

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Not as much gameplay depth as I'd hoped for.

Pros: 1. Awesome graphics & voice acting. 2. Truly cinematic feel. 3. Interesting story and character development. Cons: 1. Gameplay feels one dimensional. 2. Controls not as tight as other 3rd person shooter... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

High production values, but missing a few vital ingrediants.

Pros: 1. Good pacing. 2. Fun mechanics (climbing, swimming, dual weilding, UAV). 3. Plenty of guns. Cons: 1. Lack of fully destructible environments. 2. Lack of dead body corpse physics. 3. Voice acting a li... Read Full Review

F1 2002

I heard about this game through the mod for it, GTR Racing 2002, which gives you some GT cars to race with some more tracks. But I'll talk about F1 2002 here, you can look up GTR mod yourself. This is the first racin... Read Full Review
