STALKER review

I first saw S.T.A.L.K.E.R. at an event THQ put on at E3 about 5 years ago. Subsequently, due to the ambitious nature of the game, it was delayed a couple of years. Finally I managed to get hold of it but it needed such a whopping PC to play it on it made mine stutter more than Gareth Gates during an interview. Well, now I’ve got a computer to rival Skynet and so for the first time I’ve been able to play it so let me tell you what I thought. If you don’t know Stalker tells the story of...

Age of Conan sales figures

The Age of Conan RPG is officially one of the fastest selling PC games ever. Age of Conan sales figures indicate more than 400,000 copies in a week, it even beats the pre-order sales for World of Warcraft’s first launch week. And the game’s not too shabby either, getting over 90% in the early reviews.

Beijing 2008 release date

Not content with making us play through the 2008 Olympic Games as an Italian American plumber and a blue spiky hedgehog with Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, our good friends at Sega are giving us more athletic action for our money. Beijing 2008 is a more realistic video game portrayal of the ancient sporting games, no green dinosaurs or foxes with two tails will be found here. This time around you will be able to represent your own country in an attempt to win gold medals in all the classic events. PC, 360 and PS3 owners don’t have...

Online magic school

If you had the choice would you rather send your kids to Regular Comprehensive or Hogwarts? Harry Potter school of course!! Who apart from Lisa Simpson wants to go to some common every day nit infested school learning algebra and modern languages when you could ride on a steam train to a ruddy great castle and be taught magic by Alan Rickman? So this summer break, instead of letting your kids run amok on the streets boozed with cider and carrying knives why not send them to Wizard101 where they can become a Wizard’s apprentice at the Ravenwood School of...

Lego Indiana Jones demo

The Lego Indiana Jones the Original Adventures demo was released last week for the PC. I’ve had a good go of it and can report that it has some pretty fun platforming action; a bit of puzzle solving, plenty of cut scenes and a good deal of stuff to collect for high score lovers. The Lego Indiana Jones game isn’t a huge technical leap forward from the Lego Star Wars games but if you liked those then you’ll love this. The full game follows the story of the first three movies very accurately and what better way can you prepare...

Overclocked A History of Violence review

Here’s something you don’t see much of these days – a point and click adventure on the PC. Apart from the episodic Sam and Max games these are a very much dead breed. This one leaves a thin veneer of humour but it does have some reasons to play for people who like to enjoy their games at a slower pace. You play as psychiatrist David McNamara as you question five young patients in a hospital. From there you play as these five people and play through their stories in reverse order. It’s a psychological thriller that at times has...
