BATMAN ARKHAM ORIGINS BLACKGATE REVIEW

There was a fair amount of cynicism and sneering when it was announced that Warner Bros. Montreal would be developing Batman: Arkham Origins as it was largely seen as little more than a cash grab while Rocksteady, the developer behind the previous two games, were busy with other projects (which we now know to be Arkham Knight). At the same time however, an announcement that actually got some fans ...[Read More]

TITANFALL REVIEW

Review Outlines I will keep this review of Titanfall short and sweet, just like the limited game modes and complete lack of a story, oh hang on we did get 9 multiplayer maps sewn together masquerading as a campaign. How could I forget this magical experience, and award winning story telling. The review is below make up your own mind.

DARK SOULS II REVIEW

Right, now the formalities are dealt with, let’s talk about Dark Souls II. Dark Souls was released in 2011 and its sequel, Dark Souls II, has been hotly-anticipated since its announcement in 2012. The original won universal critical acclaim and has been dubbed not only one of the best RPGs, but one of the most difficult games of all time.  As anyone who has played Dark Souls will testify, it was a...[Read More]

Skydive Proximity Flight Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Skydive Proximity Flight Review   Over the last few days I have been spending my time hurtling towards the ground at break neck speed, thanks to Skydive Proximity Flight, which is now available on the Xbox Live Store. Skydive Proximity Flight sort of came out of the blue for me, as I knew little about it until we were given the chance to review it. The game which was developed by Gaijin Entertai...[Read More]

Constant C Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Constant C Review As Time Stands Still  Constant C has landed in our marketplace. A puzzle platformer that plays on the idea of the relativity theory. International Games System has brought us this physics based game to test our mental agility, along with our patience, often leading to premature baldness as you pull the hair from your head. Constant C starts off deceptively easy with your charac...[Read More]

THIEF REVIEW

PLANTS V ZOMBIES GARDEN WARFARE REVIEW

Plants V Zombies has been around now for a few years, since 2009 if I am right, and originally started out as a 2D tower defence title for Windows and Mac. Since then the series has grown into somewhat of a household name, and I am definitely one of it’s fans. I have spent many, many hours protecting my house from hordes of disco dancing zombies both on Xbox and my Ipad as I travel about. Plants V...[Read More]

Rambo: The Video Game Review | MOUSE n JOYPAD

Rambo: The Video Game Review  Rambo is probably one of the most remembered action heroes, even today who does not remember him and his red head band, so when Reef Entertainment wanted to bring him back to our living rooms with us in control, I was excited to say the least. I grew up on Sylvester Stallone movies, such as Rambo and Rocky, but one thing has always annoyed me about him, they way he t...[Read More]

SOUTH PARK: THE STICK OF TRUTH REVIEW

The long-awaited and much-delayed South Park: The Stick of Truth is finally here. Fans of the series have been kept waiting with bated breath, for over a year, after the collapse of its original publisher, THQ and several, subsequent developmental delays. The question is: Has it been worth the wait? Fans of South Park have been left frustrated by previous game incarnations of the much-loved cartoo...[Read More]

RAYMAN LEGENDS REVIEW

When we were first introduced to little Rayman, back in the mid-nineties, for many, he struggled to stand out among the cornucopia of other 2D platformers of the time. This was in spite of the fact that Rayman is a midget with no limbs. In most crowds, you’d notice him, unless that crowd happened to be a group of competitors at the Paralympics. Let’s be honest, if he’d been born in Ancient Sparta,...[Read More]

CASTLEVANIA LORDS OF SHADOW 2 REVIEW

Dracula, that immortal figure that has been feared by generations, and inspired many movies, books, legends and stories is back in Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2. The Dracula we encounter this time is somewhat different than the one of legend, and from the past encounters throughout the Castlevania series. Dracula has been banished from Heaven, hunted by Lucifer, feared and outcast by the humanity ...[Read More]
