Splinter Cell Conviction

Splinter Cell Conviction review

Finally Sam Fisher’s latest adventure sees the light of day and Sam is now dragged into action under the premise of finding out who ran over his daughter, the only thing keeping his humanity around as he worked in all sorts of undercover missions for Third Echelon. Of course the plot twists and turns like an episode of 24 and the game takes you into the Third Echelon headquarters, a fairground, the Washington Memorial and even puts you in a flashback in Iraq. If you’ve played the previous games you’ll realise this is a very different beast to what’s gone...

Just Cause 2 review

Let me say straight off the bat that Just Cause 2 is what the original game should have been. When I saw the original demo at E3 a few years ago I was blown away, only to be disappointed when I played the full game.

When I first saw the trailer for Plain Sight just a few weeks ago I was rather excited. Now I’ve had a while with the full game let’s see how it fairs under closer scrutiny in my review of...

Metro 2033 review

Based on the book by Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 sees you wandering round the wastelands and underground system of Moscow as you fight for survival against some rather nasty mutants. You may immediately draw comparisons with STALKER but this isn’t an open-world affair and very much a scripted FPS more comparable to Half-Life 2. There are moments when you’re wandering the tunnels alone or with a helping hand, and also parts where you explore the Metro stations and get to buy new weaponry and listen in on some of the NPCs going about their daily business. The atmosphere and sound...
