Call of Juarez The Cartel

Last night was of course the Harry Potter premiere in Trafalgar Square, London but also inside a Mexican bar off Covent Garden, Ubisoft were holding a little event to show off the multiplayer and co-op modes of Call of Juarez: The Cartel. This sequel is set in the present day instead of the Wild West so it’s less about riding horses and drinking your milk or whatever and more about busting caps in bad guys’ asses as one of three law enforcers trying to take down a drug cartel. I got to try out a couple of sections of the...

Alice Madness Returns review

And so eleven years after the original American McGee’s Alice, along comes this sequel or remake as you will called Alice: Madness Returns. This time, a great darkness has taken over Wonderland in the form of a menacing steam train and Alice goes on a journey inside her head to save it. I’m sure there’s some deeper metaphor in there somewhere but I just can’t put my finger on it right now. What Alice does deliver is a tight 3D platformer which actually does away with most of the frustrations associated with the genre. There’s also a heady mix of...

Game over for Star Wars Galaxies

Time’s finally been called on Star Wars: Galaxies. The PC only MMO which has been running for a number of years will have its plug pulled in December. Current subscribers will be offered a free two month trial of Clone Wars Adventures, DC Universe Online, EverQuest or Free Realms but my money’s on people jumping over to EA’s Star Wars: The Old Republic that coincidentally launches later this year.

Hunted The Demons Forge review

Hunted: The Demon’s Forge offers something quite different to the usual fantasy-based game, in that it’s not an RPG set across a sprawling landscape or a straight up hack ’n’ slash title where your stab at your joypad’s buttons until your fingers bleed. Instead, they’ve taken a similar co-op gameplay mechanic to the Gears of War games and made a game that is a joy to play, despite not having quite the polish you’d see from a game made by Epic. You trundle through the dungeons and towns of the land of Kala Moor as either a female elf called...

Dead Island screenshots

It’s been a few months coming but Deep Silver have finally let slip more details about their upcoming first person zombie thriller; Dead Island. Now as much as I love Valve’s Left 4 Dead series, I can’t help but feel that it’s feeling a bit stale. The gameplay is a little too rigid and every new set of DLC maps feels the same as the last. So you can imagine we were quite pleased to hear that Dead Island takes L4D’s 4 player co-op and gives it a fresh new feel. Set on a fictional tropical island called Banoi; you...

Operation Flashpoint Red River Valley of the Death

Codemasters have announced the first piece of DLC for Operation Flashpoint: Red River. It’s cheerily called the Valley of the Death pack and contains eight new fireteam engagements playable in single player modes and co-op, two combat sweep missions, two new CSAR missions, a couple of new last stand missions and rolling thunder missions. It’s available at the end of the month for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and seems to offer quite a bit of bang for your buck!
