The Sims Medieval

The Sims Medieval release date

Wow, it’s almost 11 years since the original SIMS game first hit the PC. Can you remember all the fuss is caused? It felt like the whole world was raving about how fun it was to watch a load of virtual people walk around a virtual house all day. Who’d have thought way back then that the series would grow into a multi-million seller and spawn thousands of sequels? Not me that’s for sure, to this day I’ve still never played any of them, but I did come quite close once. It was way back around 2002 when I decided...

Donkey Kong Country Returns review

During the mid to late 90’s the Rare’s Donkey Kong Country series were my favourite games. Intense platforming action combined with graphics and music so awesome that you couldn’t believe they were coming out of a 16Bit Super Nintendo. I could also go as far to say that the original DKC was (and probably still is) my favourite 2D platform game of all time, Super Mario purists may scoff but there’s something I really like about the British take on the platform genre. In my opinion Rare were very innovate in bringing prerendered graphics to the SNES and they also...

Still waiting for Duke Nukem Forever? Well now it’s finally going to see the light of day thanks to the guys at Gearbox. The game’s been in ‘development’ for the last 12 years but finally died a death when 3D Realms went kaput. It’s hard to believe that the next installment of Duke Nukem is finally going to hit the shelves this year having finally been dragged back into the land of the living by Gearbox Software. Having previously worked on such titles such as Borderlands and Counter Strike; we have high hopes of Duke Nukem having a rather triumphant...

Dead Space 2 review

Finally Dead Space 2 is here and after going to countless preview events and chatting to the guys that made it I finally get to play it. Thankfully, it doesn’t disappoint. Once again you step into the engineering suit of Isaac Clarke as you wake up in a straight jacket on a space station called The Sprawl above the moon of Titan. All hell’s breaking loose and of course there are plenty of Necromorphs to dismember along the way. This time Isaac has a face and a voice which adds an extra layer of character and makes you care more...
