Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 review

The original Borderlands passed me by so I’m coming at this review with a totally fresh perspective on the game. As you’re probably aware it’s something between an FPS and an RPG and its major hook is 4 player co-op. think of it a bit like a cel-shaded Fallout 3 with a silly sense of humour and you’ll be somewhere there. I’m told this sequel picks up pretty much where the last game ended. You play as one of four new Vault Hunters who have entered the Borderlands of Pandora and straight away you’re all blown to smithereens by Handsome Jack,...

The Expendables 2

The Expendables 2 Video Game review

The Expendables 2 Video Game is a prequel to the outlandish movie featuring mostly aged action stars and sees you and up to three friends locally or online seeking to rescue a very valuable hostage. Think of it as a cross between Ikari Warriors and Smash TV and you’ll be someway there. As you’ve probably guessed you move using the left stick and shoot independently with the right stick as waves of enemies circle and flank you and try to end your fun with a stream of bullets. You can choose from one of four characters from the movie, each...

Transformers Fall of Cybertron review

High Moon Studios seem to be the go-to guys when Activision want to make a Transformers game. They’ve made enough of them and even though sometimes they’ve had to go down the movie license route due to the Michael Bay movies, they sometimes get to make more original games that pay fan service to adults who’ve been playing with them since the G1 days. Fall of Cybertron tells the story of the Cybertronian’s dying planet and the bid for both the Autobots and the Decepticons to survive and escape during their civil war and it’s actually a very solid shooter....

Uncharted

Uncharted The Movie delayed

Nathan Drake’s in a spot of bother again – no, it’s not the announcement of Uncharted 4 but news that the Uncharted movie has hit another stumbling block as it loses its second director. Not only have the producers asked for the script to be rewritten but they’re also seeking a new bod to be a watchful eye over the movie’s look and feel. I wonder what Uwe Boll’s up to at the moment?

Darksiders 2 review

It must be tough being Death. Everyone seems to be a bit scared of you and it must be oh so lonely. Even more so now that War has been taken away by the Council for his ‘crime’ of causing Armageddon and since then there’s been no-one left to reap, so it’s up to you to go and get him back. I know it all sounds a bit grim but actually Darksiders II is a very fluid action adventure game with more role-playing elements than the first game and some really creative fantasy worlds and creatures to shove the sharp...
