Dead Space 2

More graphical flair and smoother gameplay than it's predecessor, if not quite as scary. Dismembering is always fun!

Dead Space 2 had some big boots to fill. The original breathed new life into the survival horror genre and added a glorious sci-fi twist. For the most part Visceral Games has matched the entertainment value of the firs... Read Full Review

Killzone 2

Sony delivers this time around! Beautifully rendered carnage, Campaign is ok but multiplayer is out of this world!!

Ok so the first Killzone was not exactly amazing, but it was a stylish, violent romp that clearly demanded more of the ps2 than it was able to give. 2009 heralds the arrival of the much-hyped Killzone 2 and this time it... Read Full Review

Space Invaders Extreme

It's like Space Invaders on Red Bull... kind of

Pros: >It's Space Invaders! >Cool vibrant visuals and morphing backgrounds add a sense of excitement. >Ridiculously over-the-top powerups can be a lot of fun to use. Especially the giant laser beam that just cuts s... Read Full Review

Hot Shots Tennis: Get a Grip

The tennis action is pure arcade fun with added depth, but the RPG-like structure spoils things.

Hot Shots Tennis has great core gameplay for anyone who enjoys tennis or sports games. It's easy to pick up and play but there is also a longevity and depth that enables you to learn new shots and tricks as you progress... Read Full Review

Fallout: New Vegas

Weaker than Fallout 3, but behind the veil of technical flaws there's an intelligent and absorbing RPG adventure

What initially struck me about Fallout: New Vegas was that it felt underwhelming as a sequel to the amazing Fallout 3. Admittedly the expectations were high, but Obsidian had enough time to craft something new, and seem... Read Full Review

Alpha Protocol

An espionage RPG is a fantastic concept and at the core there is something special but lack of polish and rough gameplay

Alpha Protocol can be a lot of fun to play. The dialogue system is extremely well implemented and effective as you develop relationships with assets around the globe. Much of the voice acting and scripting is funny as ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Undeniably fresh and vital game shows lightning strikes twice for Infinity Ward

Infinity Ward's decision not to use dedicated servers for the multiplayer alienated some fans early on, before this game was even released. Perhaps this had basis, as online play was at times a bit of a haphazard affair... Read Full Review

Dragon Age: Origins

Broken controls and a combat system that just is not suited to consoles. Made me wish I was playing Baldur's Gate on PC

The world created by Bioware in Dragon Age Origins may be trite and formulaic fantasy but it's a fine experience in terms of atmosphere. The voice acting is top notch and there does seem to be a real weight to your deci... Read Full Review

Heavy Rain

Turning on lights and opening doors has never been so much fun! Wait a minute...

I was thrilled when Heavy Rain first appeared on my radar, an adult-centric piece of noir that was unique to the PS3 with a great look and overall concept. However, upon playing the game something struck me as being dra... Read Full Review

Bayonetta

Great fun in short bursts, noticed none of supposed technical issues with HDD installation and newer model PS3

Bayonetta has a daft premise about two covens of witches who struggle to maintain the balance of power in the universe. Matters are helped immensely by some comical and over-the-top dialogue and voice acting. The chara... Read Full Review

Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta

Initially irritating but new weapons add enjoyment. Filled with amusing references to Star Trek and the Wasteland below

My first big problem with this dlc was upon going to check on the crashed UFO site and grab the alien blaster I was instantly beamed up and locked into an adventure I hadn't signed up for at that point. As a warning to ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Best multiplayer FPS since Goldeneye way back on the N64!!! Just needs more downloadable maps and guns.

CoD4 is a formidable entry into the elite of FPS on any system. This game is the sh#t!!! The single player is fun and sastisfies for its short duration, but the multiplayer is a pure shot of adrenaline. The player cla... Read Full Review

Battlefield: Bad Company

Destructible environments were a good idea but the FPS physics, when you actually get your gun out, feel insubstantial

Single player is occasionally fun when your squadmates are not irritating the sh#t out of you with their bad jokes and you find some nice environments to destroy, but the bare-bones FPshooter physics of the game are laug... Read Full Review

Demon's Souls

The stand-out game of this generation. Savagely unforgiving but immensely rewarding RPG.

Demon's Souls is a hardcore RPG. It's not in any way for the casual gamer so if you are then don't even bother. Demon's Souls is initially a punishing and harrowing experience whatever your skill level but if you stick... Read Full Review

BioShock 2

Bioshock 2 has an elegant and gloriously disturbing single-player campaign and multi-player offers some genuine thrills

Well it's fairly obvious that Bioshock was a masterpiece in game development so any sequel was going to have a tough time living up to the hype. Of course the initial thrill of being submerged in a bathysphere and visit... Read Full Review

Dead Space

Dead Space is a superbly twisted space nightmare of ultra-violence and sheer terror that will go down as a classic game

Turn the sound up and the lights down and Dead Space will freak you the hell out. Crawling around the USG IShimura as the power flickers on and off and weird noises echo the empty corridors is an experience not to be mi... Read Full Review

MAG

MAG is hard to get into but once you are immersed in the Shadow War you will have fun..depending on who else is playing

MAG has 256 players at one time on the map in the Domination mode and this is an ambitious stat but Zipper makes it work well. The game is a little tricky to break into, you may well spend a few sessions being sniped in... Read Full Review

Fallout 3

This brings video games closer to an art form than they have ever been. Profound, literary and insanely fun bloodbath.

Fallout 3 represents a shift in how we should view video games. It is an amazing, visceral experience that will affect you in ways that other games have only hinted at before. The moment when you first step out of Vaul... Read Full Review

Far Cry Vengeance

Horrendously sloppy Wii port of a once fine game.

Far Cry Vengeance for the Wii is a prime example of sloppy porting for the Wii mixed with pitiful attempts to incorporate the motion sensor ability of the system. What is, on paper, a great idea, onscreen falls apart ra... Read Full Review

Mario Kart Wii (w/ Racing Wheel)

Online play is lightning fast and utter, glorious mayhem. Keeps you coming back for more.

Mariokart is a tried and trusted formula and Nintendo is smart to leave the core of the gameplay intact. However, the Wii version adds whole new dimensions to the play that really make for a unique experience. The stee... Read Full Review
