    Finally worth your time

    Total War: Rome II - Emperor Edition

    Finally worth your time

    A year after the shipment of a buggy, unpolished, poorly optimised and embarrassment of a game, Creative Assembly have delivered incessant patches to finally transform this title into what it should have been at launch. ... Read Full Review

    Dynamite FPS mechanics that you just don't see these days

    Dynamite FPS mechanics that you just don't see these days

    Former heavy-weight developers Id Software put out this long-awaited title back in 2011, and it rather quickly faded as it was recognised as a great game but perhaps not the superb, hallmark title that most may have been... Read Full Review

    God of War III

    A world-class, definitive experience of a generation

    God of War III consistently stunned me from start to finish. Having never encountered the series in the past, when I finally got a PS3 a couple years back I played through the trilogy start-to-finish in the space of abou... Read Full Review

    Everything you could want in a open-world FPS

    Far Cry 3 (The Lost Expeditions Edition)

    Everything you could want in a open-world FPS

    I have played every notable shooter under the sun in recent years, and this is by far at the top of my list as my favourite. This game just nails it at basically every turn. The guns are the best I have played with in re... Read Full Review

    A decent FPS with enough twists to keep it above mediocrity

    Singularity

    A decent FPS with enough twists to keep it above mediocrity

    I kept seeing this title pop up around the internet with favourable comments, so I decided to satiate my curiosity, support a smaller developer and dive into this FPS over a weekend. The game presents a fairly original s... Read Full Review

    A great sci-fi romp that is greater than the sum of its parts

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut

    A great sci-fi romp that is greater than the sum of its parts

    As a newcomer to the series, I had no idea what to expect from this title, and I was certainly surprised how deep this game went in seemingly all directions. There’s so much more than what you might see as a just a... Read Full Review

    BioShock Infinite

    A testament to the very best of the art of game design

    What this game achieves is something truly marvellous and forever memorable. It sits at the apex of not only thoroughly excellent gameplay mechanics and level design, but with exceptional artistic and visual design, and ... Read Full Review

    Steps forward in mechanics, massive backflips in narrative

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II

    Steps forward in mechanics, massive backflips in narrative

    This sequel is ultimately a very solid 3rd person action game, but where it makes vast strides in improvements in some areas over its visionary predecessor, it takes massive steps backward in others. The first thing you&... Read Full Review

    Solid game, but isn't as fun as it should be

    Max Payne 3

    Solid game, but isn't as fun as it should be

    Having never played the first two games, I jumped into this to discover for myself what this series was all about. This title, under the name of none other than Rockstar, held a lot of promise and I was at least expectin... Read Full Review

    Raw. Thrilling. Fun. Underrated!

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

    Raw. Thrilling. Fun. Underrated!

    This is a fantastic action game that displays some of the best use of the Warhammer 40K IP yet. The combat is raw and thrilling; all the guns feel fantastic and the melee combat, although seemingly shallow on the surface... Read Full Review

    Bulletstorm

    A fresh and mechanically solid FPS experience

    If you’re looking for a solid-feeling shooter with some unique twists to keep things interesting, this game has you covered. Based on the "kill with skill" premise, there are some great new mechanics in here, from ... Read Full Review

    An absolutely stand-out multilayer experience, Battlefield 4 must be experienced to be believed. How this game creates dynamic combat environments with cinematic realism is truly a marvel; however you will need a PC clos... Read Full Review

    Burnout Paradise

    Don't like racing games? Wanna bet?

    I was never a fan of racing games until I played the Burnout series. This franchise takes away just a little bit of the boring realistic aspects of driving and adds a huge amount fun to create an adrenaline pumping exper... Read Full Review

    Assassin's Creed III

    A game that almost breaks under it's own weight....almost

    There is certainly enough production value in this instalment of the series to make it worth your time and money. However, in the midst of the multitude of developers that have evidently put this title together, there is... Read Full Review

    Pushing the boundaries in all the right directions

    Prototype 2 (RADNET Edition)

    Pushing the boundaries in all the right directions

    This is a great sequel that pushes the boundaries in every direction from the first Prototype. The scale of detail is often impressive and the mechanics, from movement to combat, are all more refined. Although seemingly ... Read Full Review

    God of War: Ascension

    Another first class experience, but not quite as memorable

    Although the story is not nearly as interesting when compared to the titanic events of God of War 3 (and how could it be? GoW3 was crazy!), this game is still first class in all other respects, at least in terms of singl... Read Full Review
