The Orange Box review

I’m a massive Half-Life fan. The first game made me upgrade my PC just so I could play it, and so did Half-Life 2. I also really enjoyed Counter-Strike Source which came with it and Episode One, an expansion pack I bought using the upload client Steam. Well, now my PC’s getting a bit old and dated but this time, there was no need to upgrade as I got The Orange Box on the Xbox 360 which is just as playable. What you get in the Orange Box is probably the best game bundle ever. You get the original Half-Life...

F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate

Time now to look at another expansion pack for the game FEAR. This has fast become one of my favourite first-person shooters thanks to that fact it has great enemy AI, beefy guns and a supernatural element so scary it’s on a par with Silent Hill in terms of creepiness at times. This one has a timeline that runs parallel to the previous full game and expansion, and features you as a new team investigating the incident Armacham. Your job In this new adventure is to find out what Perseus is, apart from a Greek man who ended up with...

Kane and Lynch: Dead Men

Here is a review of a game which intrigued me last month when I saw a poster for it when I was absolutely drenched standing in a field in Stafford for the V Festival. It’s Kane & Lynch Dead Men. The poster shows a guy that looks like he’d kill you if you bumped into him in the street with a plaster over his nose and an older chap with a balding mullet and a shotgun. It reminded me of a Tarantino film so I thought I’d check it out a bit more for you guys and report back. Developed...

Bioshock review

This is a game I’ve been excited about for months ever since I had a brief playtest of the game on the PC. I’ve now got my hands on the full game on the 360 so let me tell you what it’s all about. Set in the 1960s, you’re a passenger on a plane that suddenly ditches into the water. You emerge from the burning fuselage to find a tower in the middle of the sea with a pod inside it. Of course, not wanting to hang about and smell the burning fumes, you pull the lever inside and plunge...

Devil May Cry 4 preview

It’s preview time and I’ve got new details on Devil May Cry 4 which have emerged since E3. This time it’s been announced it’s from the producer of the original Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 4 and it’s bound to be good as 7 million people who bought the game series so far around the world can’t be wrong. Once again, you don’t only get to play as Dante but as a new leading man with a few new moves up his devilish sleeves. This time you can also play as a character called Nero. No, he’s not a...

Transformers The Game review

So the Transformers movie is almost upon us and the film reviewers are basically saying the film looks great but the story’s a bit of a clichéd mess. Fair enough, I’m sure it’s a treat for the eyes anyway so I’m going to go and see it. As for the game, that’s another story. Let me review it for you now and you can make up your mind on whether to play it or not. What you get with Transformers The Game is a slightly open-ended game world with a story to lpay through similar to Spider-Man, Hulk Ultimate Destruction...
