Stronghold Crusader 2 Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Stronghold Crusader 2 Review    Ah, Stronghold Crusader. How many hours have I wasted just building amazing (messy), sprawling (overcrowded) cities (junkyards) just to have them razed by a rat-like bastard warlord. It was a masterfully realised game that handled its quirks nicely while delivering an amazing gameplay basis. Both in single player AND multiplayer, and you could play the bugger on...[Read More]
LARA CROFT AND THE TEMPLE OF OSIRIS PREVIEW
Recently I was able to spend some time with Lara Croft And The Temple Of Osiris, the follow-up title to Lara Croft And The Guardian Of Light. When any press attends these sorts of events to play a demo build for an up-coming title such as this, it is definitely a tense time for developers and publishers alike. When I sat down to play the demo I was immediately informed by a Square Enix representat...[Read More]
Shadow Of Mordor Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Shadow Of Mordor Review Let me begin this review with the following: I do not care about the Lord of the Rings saga. I haven’t watched the films or played any of the games previously. Therefore I don’t care about how this game will affect the lore of the series, whether they’ve added characters or whatever. It’s a game. It’s there to be fun. That being said, Shadow Of Mordor is...[Read More]

Guilty Gear X2 Reload Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Guilty Gear X2 Reload Review  Before we begin, if you are considering buying this title first make sure you have a PC compatible controller or joystick. This game does not play particularly well without one. I liked Guilty Gear X2 Reload a lot less than I thought I would. As a fan of Street Fighter, Blazblue, and Marvel Vs. Capcom, I thought I would certainly find something about Arc Syste...[Read More]
Beyond Flesh and Blood Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Beyond Flesh and Blood Preview   While at EGX I spent some time with the guys from Pixel Bomb, playing their upcoming title Beyond Flesh And Blood. I am very interested in this title for a number of reasons, one of which is the setting, Manchester.Beyond Flesh And Blood is set over 200 years into the future, where most of mankind is living on a station, called The Tree Of Life, orbiting the p...[Read More]
Final Fantasy XIII’s Spec Problems | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Final Fantasy XIII’s Spec Problems   Looking at a games pc requirements can give you a sense of how many customization options you will have at your disposal upon release. I’m actually pretty happy about the minimum requirements here. Many recent Ps3 and Xbox 360 ports have had much more demanding requirements even though they are dealing the t...[Read More]
Gang Beasts Preview – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Gang Beasts Preview   Name one thing the current PC gaming scene is sorely missing at this time and age. I won’t take any guesses because I’m slightly fearful of what you might have noted – instead, let me tell you what Gang Beasts is all about: hot seat multiplayer. Imagine WWE, but where all actors are so drunk that they can barely stand on their two shuddering legs. Instead of ...[Read More]
KICKBEAT SPECIAL EDITION REVIEW
It’s not often that I can say I thoroughly enjoyed a game. It’s a strange statement for someone who reviews games to make but there will usually be some aspect of the game that really turns me off to the whole thing. Kickbeat is a refreshing and fun game from Zen studios. It’s a fresh take on two genres that have been flogged to death and then flogged some more. When I first loaded Kickbeat up on...[Read More]

The Evil Within New Gameplay   Bethesda and Tango Gameworks today have released a new video for their upcoming survival horror game from legendary director Shinji Mikami.

Dead Island 2 Preview – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Dead Island 2 Preview  While at EGX I had the chance to get my grubby mitts on Dead Island 2, currently in development by the guys at YAGER. Not only did I have the chance to play it, but Isaac Ashdown who is the Senior Gameplay Programmer at YAGER, was on hand to answer a few questions after I played through the demo build, not once but twice. Jealous? Well you should be. Dead Island ...[Read More]
