THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN 2 REVIEW
The Amazing Spider Man 2 is another one of those games that have become common place, releasing in time to not only promote the movie tie-in, but also maximise the profits that can be squeezed from the fans of the franchise. The game starts off using the plot of the movie, but soon falls into the trap of being dull, uninspiring and quite frankly a down right terrible experience. Over the years we ...[Read More]
Do Gamers Disappoint Themselves?
E3 is fast approaching and it’s usually at this time of year that we as gamers get our first look at the games that will be hitting our shelves in the next year or so. It’s like Christmas for us and I’m sure I’m not alone when I start to make my wish list on the back of what we have seen at E3. This is not without its problems and I think, our reactions to the trailers we see is a huge factor in o...[Read More]
THE IMPOSSIBLE GAME REVIEW
If you look really carefully, every gamer is belonging to one of two opposite schools of thought. There’s the more casual gaming crowd, who prefer their games easy, so that they can enjoy the storylines and characters to their fullest. On the other side, we have the hardcore dudes who find themselves preferring a more challenging experience. As weird as this might sound, The Impossible Game can be...[Read More]
TICKLES TOP TEN VIDEO GAME DEATHS
Deaths in video games are a fairly common occurrence, with the huge number of shooters and role playing games the story is often progressed by the death of a character. I decided to list my top ten deaths in gaming. I have only picked from games that I have played and I have tried to stay away from new releases.

THIS IS YOUR GAME – PAC-MAN
In this edition of This is Your Game, I’ll be discussing the grand daddy of gaming characters; namely, Pac-Man. When it comes to the most iconic and influential gaming characters of all time, Mr P. Man is always one of the first names to come to mind. After all, he was the first, the innovator, the original and the forefather. If gaming was a religion (it should be), then Pac-Man would be, if not ...[Read More]
Gray Matter Review – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Gray Matter Review   Quickly, how many of you know who Jane Jansen is? Raise your hands, please. Yeah, I’m kidding, I can’t see you either way, so you can put them down. If you’re an old school adventure gamer, there’s a good chance you’ve been a fan of her work. I’m talking about the legendary Gabriel Knight series, of course. Jansen hasn’t had any newer projects, aside from the o...[Read More]
Bound By Flame Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Bound By Flame Review   I’ve been checking Bound by Flame out ever since the first gameplay trailer emerged. Funny thing with RPGs such as this is that their trailers always show them at their best, with attacks connecting perfectly and a minimal amount of glitches. This has been true for as long as I can remember, with both The Witcher and Dragon Age: Origins falling into the same trap. Whatâ...[Read More]

LEVEL 22: GARY’S MISADVENTURES REVIEW
There is something remarkably special about an audience looking upon your creation favorably to the extent that they allow the game to grow to its peak. Giving your audience the power and partial control over your project awards the fans by welcoming them as executive developers. This title grants them email and social network contact with the designers themselves, using it to advise and critique ...[Read More]
THIS IS YOUR GAME – MICHAEL, FRANKLIN & TREVOR
Welcome to a very special edition of This is Your Game. This week, I’ll be focussing on not one, not two but three characters; namely Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton and Trevor Phillips, from Grand Theft Auto V. When we first caught wind of Rockstar’s plan to introduce us to three protagonists in their latest title, many were excited but many others were nervous that it would mark too significa...[Read More]
Anomaly Defenders Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Anomaly Defenders Preview   Up until now, the Anomaly franchise has been known for its fairly interesting twist on the old tower defence mechanic, having pioneered the tower offense genre to the masses. The developer, 11bit, wasn’t satisfied with a single innovation, however, and thus the dudes tried to twist the genre rules again – with the end product being a reverse tower offense g...[Read More]
