    Battlefield 3 (Limited Edition)

    Great package and well worth the money.

    I have to be honest that I've completed the story on the hard difficulty, spent a few hours on multiplayer and Battlefield 3 has been an enjoyable experience and well worth the money. I'm just kicking myself that I chose... Read Full Review

    L.A. Noire

    I can't believe I didn't buy this sooner!

    I'm having a really hard time putting this game down! There are so many nice little touches throughout this mammoth game. The controls are probably the first thing to get accustomed to and they are honestly sharp, fl... Read Full Review

    A good game, just far from original, great and intuitive.

    Dead Space

    A good game, just far from original, great and intuitive.

    I was in two minds of buying this game at first but being a survival-horror fan, I was won over. I'm being honest here. I am only 2/3's of the way through and I haven't fought any bosses yet but I'm just going to give a ... Read Full Review

    Driver: Parallel Lines

    Parallel Lines has all the depth and character of an ice cube.

    I can give or take with the Driver franchise to be perfectly honest. The original was absolute quality, I never played the second one (sorry :-) ) Driver 3 was swamped with terrible reviews but the visuals and the large ... Read Full Review

    I tried so hard to like this game!

    In a game that is so open, where do I begin with this let down? I'll start with what I liked about Far Cry 2. The game is visually stunning and that was probably the only thing keeping me playing. The opening few min... Read Full Review

    The Warriors

    One of the most enjoyable games on the PSP

    A great game to play. The graphics are well designed and thought out. It would've been nice to have a bit more time playing in the daylight but I suppose it adds atmosphere if the story is set at night. The FMV's are pre... Read Full Review

    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

    Great game, just a little shorter than expected.

    For me Call of Duty 4 has to be one of the most intense and accurate shooting games since the goldeneye/perfect dark era. The visuals are top notch, I couldn't fault the environments in any way. They are varied enoug... Read Full Review

    Silent Hill 2 (Special 2 Disc Set)

    Not as action-packed as other Silent Hills but still the best out of the bunch.

    Many years ago when the PS2 was finally released, I was very lucky to get my hands on one when they first came out. So when I heard Silent Hill 2 was returning but on the PS2 I was naturally anxious to play it. When ... Read Full Review

    Probably the only game released that is capable of absorbing EVER second of your life!

    A cracking, revolutionary game and one of the most enjoyable games I've played in a long time. I have to be perfectly honest. At first glance I was put off with the game during the first 10 minutes. The whole scenari... Read Full Review

    Devil May Cry 3

    Solid as a rock but greatly rewarding.

    My favourite DMC in the whole series for a few reasons. After the pretty weak DMC2, this title obviously needed some work and more polishing. The visuals are rich, varied and luscious throughout. The soundtrack i... Read Full Review

    One of the best titles to transform from PS2 to PSP. This game has everything. Graphics are gorgeous with plenty of exotic locations to play through. The gameplay is perfect. Every character handles smoothly and ... Read Full Review

    WORST MGS TITLE EVER!

    Far Cry Instincts

    Quite a surprise, like dynamite with a 1 hour fuse. Then the game really kicks in.

    I do have to be honest. I almost gave up on this game because I was thrown into a new gaming world without any clue as to my destination or point in being deep in a jungle. The game did take a while to start and... Read Full Review

    Tomb Raider III

    I believe the series reached it's peak with Tomb Raider III.

    For me Tomb Raider III is the best game of the series (not including the worthy additions made by Crystal Dynamics). The development team threw everything but the kitchen sink at this title and you can see why when playi... Read Full Review

    Tomb Raider: Anniversary

    I'm usually against remakes, but Anniversary is quite refreshing.

    When I first heard that Tomb Raider was going to have a remake released to honour the original game I was quite amenable to the idea. I know I don't go anywhere near a remake or movie tie-ins but after Crystal Dynamics d... Read Full Review

    007: NightFire (Platinum)

    One of the least exciting or satisfying games I've played in ages. Nightfire is so overrated.

    I first bought my copy of Nightfire the day it was released because the game looked like a solid, polished version of 007. I have to be perfectly honest, I was totally disappointed only 10 minutes into the game with only... Read Full Review

    Not a bad entry, just far from the best in the series.
