L.A. Noire
Everytime Rockstar gives me an open world to explore, it comes at a hefty moral price. In order to experience such well crafted games of theirs, I'm pretty much forced to drag out my grittier side to appreciate said masterpiece. Read more...
Dragon Age II
Dragon Age 2 attempts to rectify its predecessor's mistakes by making full use of the large scale and wonderful world that BioWare created. It's an RPG that wears its mythology proudly, which is something that to my mind makes it stand out from the crowd. Read more...
Donkey Kong Country Returns - Wii
Being of a certain age, I have very fond memories of one particular games console. I have fond memories of many machines, C64 especially. However, if I had to choose one console that I have owned, that filled me with the most excitement, it was the Super Nintendo Read more...
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions
My personal fear of coming across a parallel version of myself is that I'd be the less interesting one of the group.

Dead Rising 2
Upon firing up Dead Rising 2, I'm greeted with many a stirring image. A tentative and innocent eyed young girl assisting her father fixing a bike. A diamond encrusted pimp-a-like holding the future of said girl in the form of sky-rocketing amounts of dollar Read more...
Alpha Protocol
A game which makes me feel spoilt often fails to make an epic mark on entertainment grounds. Not the sort of spoilt which leaves me demanding more rather than pleading for it, but the kind that makes me realise how I take games for granted. Most of the recent 'Choose-your-own-fateathon' RPG's Read more...
Scrap Metal
It doesn't matter about the size of your engine, the top speed or the size of the smile on the Michelin Man gracing your tyres, stick a gun on any vehicle and it'll be enough to shut up Jeremy Clarkson and give The Stig something to say at the same time. Read more...

Toy Soldiers
In all honesty, I dived into Toy Soldiers with a mind of predicted boredom. So many times have I played a tower defence game and instantly disliked it, for there ever so common style of play. I have to say Read more...
Bioshock 2
Rapture; a haven for the driven, a spectacle for the masses and a prison for the now drug dependent inhabitants. Three years ago Bioshock threw us into the twisted underwater brainchild of Andrew Ryan as a naive outsider Read more...
