Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

There's something about Vanguard that is both enticing and also a deterrent.

I really wanted to make this my next "year long" game. But despite the potential, I can't right now, as I feel this game is honestly lacking severely in 2 key areas: 1) Group dynamics. It's just too hard ... Read Full Review

Viva Pinata

Not what I expected

It's funny how reading various sites puts a glorious picture in one's mind about how awesome a game is going to be - and then the rude awakening hits you like a cold fish in the face when you realise you overhyped it in ... Read Full Review

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Tremendous atmospheric experience let down a little by confusing side-quests and repetitive set-pieces.

I started off disliking the game a fair bit in the 'noob' area. I found it boring, confusing, and uninspiring. So after 3 episodes of shelving the game in that noob zone, I decided to push through and see if it got any b... Read Full Review

BioHazard 4: Wii Edition

Surprised that a 2yr old port can actually be this good.

I rented this game as I'm quite disgusted with the glut of poor Wii ports on the market right now - figured 3 nights would be enough to either have my fears substantiated or quickly complete the game. Also I've never pla... Read Full Review

Crysis

Brilliant technical achievement yet let down by some very frustrating and buggy gameplay elements in the second half.

I found the first half of the game much better than the last half for some reason. Part of it may be the extremely frustrating Alien chapters that leave you either completely confused as to where to go, or dying dozens o... Read Full Review

Gears of War

Cinematic 3rd person shooter delivers a great albeit short movie-like experience.

Playing this game is like being in the lead role of a Hollywood action movie. Complete with cheesy American dialogue and an over-the-top musical score. After having recently completed Clive Barker's Jericho, I can say it... Read Full Review

Super Mario Galaxy

I usually hate console games.......but..........

....this game rocks! How can a game so simplistic and childish to look at be so damn good for adults! I dunno - it just is! I won't repeat what everyone else says, let's just say I'm a dedicated PC gamer and always wi... Read Full Review

Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa

High hopes dashed within 2 hours.

I won't dribble on for too long about this disaster, normally I give games a good chance before I get out the Hammer of Doom, but on this one, the hammer fell, and it fell hard within a few hours. Biggest disappointme... Read Full Review

The Witcher

Review on Prologue, and Chapters I through IV.

Thus far, (and I will come back and edit this subsequent to finishing the game), I am gobsmacked - in the most delightful way, by this work of art. It's not just a game - it's a story that you feel like you are actual... Read Full Review

Clive Barker's Jericho

How this game could ever get lower than an 8 astounds me

Ok what drugs are the reviewers on? I am a harsh critic of games, they really have to show some form of innovation to win me over, and Jericho is one of the most unique and entertaining experiences I have ever had. ... Read Full Review

Hellgate: London

The snapshot real review

I feel the game is a bit of a letdown after the massive hype-machine we experienced pre-launch. Don't get me wrong - it's a good game, in a basic and repetetive sort of way, and I will keep playing it to see where the... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The most amazing gaming experience you will ever find, BUT you must have appropriate hardware to enjoy it to the full.

I won't go into inordinate details of the game, primarily because other reviews already do that, and also because there's just too much detail to comment on. The game is enormous in every way - environment, character ... Read Full Review

F.E.A.R.

Impressive gunfights save the day for an otherwise over-rated shooter

Don't get me wrong - I really really like this game. It's got a very professional and well-orchestrated feel to it, and you really feel like you belong in there attempting to discover the true identity of the little fire... Read Full Review

BioShock

Please play this game on HARD to get the full benefit!

I won't repeat what many others have said about the gameplay, graphics, immersiveness, storyline, etc - it's all A+ stuff in here. A big game-breaker however would be for you to play this on easy or medium - DON'T DO ... Read Full Review

World of Warcraft

10 months of playing and finally I tear myself away to write this review!

I usually buy a game and play it for 2-3 weeks. Then I don't want to see it's sorry ass again on my PC for quite some time, if ever. "Usually" ended in December 2004. Two things happened in that month - I had a baby girl... Read Full Review

Guild Wars (Special Edition)

Guild Wars through genre draws comparison to World of Warcraft, but really is a very different game.

I play World of Warcraft. Alot. So when taking the seat in front of Guild Wars, the inevitable "does it do this, does it do that" immediately became a part of my first few hours of playtime. In the end, Guild Wars doesn'... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Even gamers who don't usually like shooters should load this one up!

I won't blabber on about the game in intricate detail, there's plenty of other reviews that do - suffice to say this game will blow your mind and make you sh1t your pants on more than one occassion - it's so very realist... Read Full Review

Colin McRae Rally 2005

New career mode adds value and variety to an already fantastic rally experience.

Well to be honest there isn't a great deal of difference between 04 and 05. The graphics and general feel of the game are very similar, but what can you expect? It's a simple game. Rallying. All one can do is add a bit m... Read Full Review
