Gears of War 3 review

So finally the final part of the Gears of War trilogy hits the stores with a loud bang and once again Marcus Fenix and his team of COG soldiers are thrust into the fray to fight for their lives on the planet Sera. This time there’s a new breed of monster joining in the fun in the form of the Lambent or ‘glowies’ as they’re affectionately called due to the fact that they’re full of lava-like Imulsion. This third game has always promised to be bigger and better and thankfully it lives up to the hype. The campaign is played...

El Shaddai Ascension of the Metatron review

Here’s an oddity – a video game based on a ‘story’ in the Bible. That story is the book of Enoch which, I’m told, is something to do with Noah’s Great Grandaddy and him trying to put a stop to some fallen Angels called the Watchers and get them off Earth before a great flood comes (you know, like the one seen in Evan Almighty, though probably more funny at the time). You see, they’ve been ‘interfering’ with humans and creating weird little bendy creatures that look like tofu called Nephilim. Of course, this being a game developed in Japan...

Rise of Nightmares review

If anyone knows how to make horror games it’s Sega (and to some extent Konami and Capcom I suppose). House of the Dead in the past has attempted to immerse gamers by letting them shoot at zombies and monsters on rails in the arcades and on consoles and the Condemned games have shown that melee combat from a first-person is possible and if you do things right, you really can give people the willes. The first one really did scare me and make me jump in places. So far we’ve only really seen family games mostly for kids on the...

The Baconing review

The Baconing is the third adventure for DeathSpank; more commonly known as the ‘hero to the downtrodden’. Now it’s not necessary to have played the previous two games in the series but the storyline and humour will make a little more sense if you have. DeathSpank himself is a strange character if ever there was one. He features the strength and brutality of Marcus Fenix, combined with the bravado and stupidity of Zapp Brannigan (Futurama). The game is set in a medieval world with a futuristic twist. One moment you can be battling orcs and dragons with a trusty blade,...

Bodycount review

First-person shooters are like pubs. There are plenty of them around, they all offer something slightly different and we all have our favourites. Bodycount is the latest FPS to hit our consoles and this one’s less about realism and more about point scoring. You play as a faceless operative for a company called The Network as you’re dropped behind enemy lines in third world countries to put a stop to all the fighting or satisfy your own agendas. Early on you soon realise there’s also a mysterious futuristic force called The Target also involved wherever you go so you not...
