Deadpool review

I wasn’t hearing great things about Deadpool but after trying it out at a recent launch event I thought I’d give the game a go and come to my own conclusion. And I’m glad I did because although the combat is a little rough around the edges, this game is actually one of the funniest and most entertaining games I’ve played in a long while. In this game the deranged, disfigured Wade Wilson in the ultimate onesie stars in his own video game thanks to High Moon Studios, Deadpool being a Marvel character who likes to break the fourth wall,...

Metro Last Light review

So the sun’s finally starting to appear because Summer is almost here so it’s the perfect time to jump into a video game where you’re mostly underground in depressing metro systems because it’s too dangerous to venture above ground thanks to all the irradiated mutants roaming about the place. This is Metro: Last Light and if you fancy a journey into post-apocalyptic Russia then this is the game for you. Set in the same world as Metro 2033, you play as Artyom, a voiceless hero (apart from the narrative story sections in the loading screens) who not only fights for...

Star Trek review

I haven’t seen the Start Trek movie but I hear good things about it. That’s more than can be said of this official Star Trek game brought out to cash in on the movie. Reviews online aren’t favourable but I thought I’d try it for myself and see what I made of it. So the premise, in case you don’t know, is that The Gorn have attacked New Vulcan and eventually attack Starfleet themselves and you, as Kirk or Spock, have to put a stop to all this lizard-shenanigans. The game focusses on co-op, so you can play online with a...

The Last of Us preview

I’ve been looking forward to playing The Last Of Us and imagine my surprise when Sony sent me a code to play a short demo featuring two scenarios on my trusty retail PS3 from the comfort of my own home. After a hefty install I fired it up and was instantly grabbed by this bleak survival game telling the story of big hairy Joel and small Ellen Page lookalike with attitude, Ellie. The first area I explored was a short scenario in Lincoln where Joel and Ellie happen upon an abandoned town and search the area for supplies and a...

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon review

I didn’t know what to make of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon when a friend showed me it. I thought it was either an April Fools gag or a mod some imaginative coder in his bedroom had made for Far Cry 3. 4 weeks later it turns out it’s real and I’m playing it after attending a launch party for the event thrown by Ubisoft themselves! In case you’re still confused, Blood Dragon is a stand-alone game you can download and it uses the Far Cry 3 engine to throw you into a brand new post-apocalyptic world of neon, 80s...

Injustice Gods Among Us review

I first saw Injustice at last year’s E3. Behind closed doors we were treated to a demo of Superman fighting The Flash and I liked what I saw. Developed by NeverRealm, the same dudes behind Mortal Kombat, the game looked promising and thankfully, it’s delivered now it’s available to play properly. So the question is, what would happen if Superman decided to turn bad and take over the world? Well, thanks to a parallel world story this is a possibility in Injustice and turns the tables on who is good and bad, resulting in some genuinely unsettling moments when Superman is...
