Nike + Kinect Training

Nike + Kinect Training sneak peek

Believe it or not I’m actually into home fitness. Yes I’ve spent time with a gym membership but to be honest I didn’t really achieve any goals due to not really having a planned regime, little feedback from the staff there and being a bit too scared to enter the bit of the gym with the heavy weights because of all the big muscley guys in there who may decide to pick me up and use me as a weight! And so I’ve dabbled with Wii Fit, tried the UFC Kinect game and really only had proper success with the Beachbody...

Forza Horizon

Forza Horizon review

Forza Horizon attempts to inject some fun into the racing genre by way of a festival atmosphere in Colorado. Instead of just racing around stale race tracks and roads you’re now put into a story in the single player campaign as a nobody entering the Horizon festival in position 250 trying to make their way to number one. You’ll do this by exploring the state, entering races and challenges and being a generally skilful driver as you buy better cars and win them from a number of colourful rivals. Developer Playground have taken the incredible physics and car models from...

Dishonored

Dishonored review

Recently I’ve been a busy boy and haven’t really managed to see much of Dishonored before jumping into it for a review. And I have to say the experience is a pleasant one bringing back memories, for me at least, of TimeSplitters and BioShock in terms of the look and feel and Thief in terms of the gameplay. You play as Corvo, a bodyguard who’s promptly set up for the murder of your master and the kidnap of her daughter. After a brief spell in jail you soon escape thanks to some outside help and seek to clear your name,...

FIFA 13 review

Another year goes by, we all get more wrinkles and FIFA comes out again with next year’s number on the box. This time FIFA 13 also has a new cover star in the way of Lionel Messi and that gives you some clue as to how the gameplay’s been tweaked, but we’ll come to that later. So what’s new in the front end before you get on the pitch? Well, there are a few tweaks and additions. Back once again are EA Sports Football Club, Ultimate Team, Challenges and the usual single and multiplayer modes you’d expect but the main...

Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 review

The original Borderlands passed me by so I’m coming at this review with a totally fresh perspective on the game. As you’re probably aware it’s something between an FPS and an RPG and its major hook is 4 player co-op. think of it a bit like a cel-shaded Fallout 3 with a silly sense of humour and you’ll be somewhere there. I’m told this sequel picks up pretty much where the last game ended. You play as one of four new Vault Hunters who have entered the Borderlands of Pandora and straight away you’re all blown to smithereens by Handsome Jack,...

The Expendables 2

The Expendables 2 Video Game review

The Expendables 2 Video Game is a prequel to the outlandish movie featuring mostly aged action stars and sees you and up to three friends locally or online seeking to rescue a very valuable hostage. Think of it as a cross between Ikari Warriors and Smash TV and you’ll be someway there. As you’ve probably guessed you move using the left stick and shoot independently with the right stick as waves of enemies circle and flank you and try to end your fun with a stream of bullets. You can choose from one of four characters from the movie, each...
