There are three cars to drive, two tracks to try and even a demo server to race others online. Sadly I couldn’t try the online mode because whenever I was waiting in the lobby to race, the obnoxious crowd were voting to kick everyone that they didn’t like the look of (i.e. anyone new). I do hope that the developers can find away to stop this blatant abuse of the vote/kick system when the full...

Iron Man review

Iron Man is the latest Marvel superhero to become a big budget movie and also, inevitably, a videogame to coincide with the film’s release. This is the first time Marvel have had total control over one of their games and unfortunately, the result is rather average. I haven’t seen the film but judging by the cut scenes and story, the game takes you through some scenes from the movie and some brand new scenarios just for the game. If you haven’t seen the film you get a gist of what’s going on but the game doesn’t explain why Stark becomes...

Mass Effect activation

It seems Mass Effect can only be activated 3 times if you buy it for the PC. The Mass Effect activation codes will use the same SecuROM system used in Bioshock and will even contact Activision’s servers once every ten days to check if the copy is genuine. Big Brother is watching you!

Far Cry 2 preview

Last week I was lucky enough to get a very nice demo of Far Cry 2 on a 50 inch plasma screen and boy, it looks good. Let me tell you more. The demo started with your assassin standing deep in the jungle where they showed off how lovely all the trees look. They then decided to shoot the leaves off and let it be known that they will grow back in time too. Not necessary for the gamer to know but cool none the less. They then walked into a pre-Savanna-type plane and walked into a camp, chatting to...
