Transformers Fall of Cybertron review

High Moon Studios seem to be the go-to guys when Activision want to make a Transformers game. They’ve made enough of them and even though sometimes they’ve had to go down the movie license route due to the Michael Bay movies, they sometimes get to make more original games that pay fan service to adults who’ve been playing with them since the G1 days. Fall of Cybertron tells the story of the Cybertronian’s dying planet and the bid for both the Autobots and the Decepticons to survive and escape during their civil war and it’s actually a very solid shooter....

Darksiders 2 review

It must be tough being Death. Everyone seems to be a bit scared of you and it must be oh so lonely. Even more so now that War has been taken away by the Council for his ‘crime’ of causing Armageddon and since then there’s been no-one left to reap, so it’s up to you to go and get him back. I know it all sounds a bit grim but actually Darksiders II is a very fluid action adventure game with more role-playing elements than the first game and some really creative fantasy worlds and creatures to shove the sharp...

Deadlight review

You’d think people would have had their fill of zombies by now but it seems people just can’t get enough of them. Deadlight continues the trend and delivers an atmospheric side-scrolling action platformer – think of it like a cross between Prince of Persia, Another World and The Walking Dead. The story is simple, you play the role of Randall Wayne who not only suffers from the same affliction as Elton John of having his name the wrong way round, but also the inconvenience of being separated from his family and having to travel through the wilderness to find them...

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games review

I know the lengthy-named Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games has been out for months now but we’re finally at the real-life London Olympics so I thought I’d take a look at the grand event from the point of view of an Italian Plumber and a bright blue Hedgehog. This is actually the third Olympic game featuring these two – the first one came out in 2007 and then there was a Winter Olympics game. Now we’re back with the summer games and this brings a mixed bag of gameplay that’s also just a varied as to...

Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance review

It’s been ten years since the original Kingdom Hearts Final Fantasy and Disney mash-up and now Kingdom Hearts comes to the 3DS in the form of Dream Drop Distance. Old favourites Sora and Riku are back and this time they’re charged with completing the Mark of Mastery exam which doesn’t involve sweating over a piece of paper in silence but instead, both entering parallel worlds and saving them from cute but deadly monsters known as Dream Eaters. You can also recruit these little monsters to aid you and as an added bonus you can also play with them virtual-pet style...

The Amazing SpiderMan review

haven’t bothered to see the new Spider-Man film because I can’t see why the Sam Raimi movies needed a reboot so soon. God I’m such a miserable git! So, instead I thought I’d play the game to fill me in on the new adventures of Webhead only to discover the game is actually set after the events of the movie and is full of inevitable spoilers. For instance, why does Dr. Connors only have one arm and why is Peter Parker hanging out with a girl called Gwen? What happened to Mary-Jane? Marvel fans will surely lambast my ignorance at...
