Driver San Francisco review

It’s fair to say that Driver 3 wasn’t very well received a few years ago. Now Ubisoft are publishing the game with Reflections still at the helm on the development side of things and the good news is this game gripped me from start to finish and just got better and better the more I played it. You still play as Detective John Tanner and as arch-criminal Jericho is on his way to jail after he was caught in Driver 3, the escort is attacked and he manages to escape. Unfortunately you also get caught in the carnage and then...

Deus Ex Human Revolution review

I really enjoyed the previous Deus Ex games. Sure the first one was really unbalanced at the start but after Warren Specter told me to give it another go it became very special very quickly after that first mission. About ten years later I’ve just completed Human Revolution on the Xbox 360 and, whilst it still has some flaws, it’s also a very good piece of science fiction role-playing. You play as Adam Jensen, a security contractor for Sarif industries that not only makes augmentations for people but is also on the verge of a very big announcement. After an...

From Dust review

When you first look at From Dust and if you’re over the age of 30 you’ll immediately think of Peter Molyneux’s Populous; the God game that had you look after your people, spread their colonies and protect them from natural disasters. In many ways From Dust is similar to Populous however the gameplay mechanics are far more simple which is a large part of the game’s charm. You play as a powerful force called The Breath. I had a French teacher we called that at school but that’s another story. The Breath can direct the tribe to monoliths where they...

Fallout New Vegas Old World Blues review

Old World Blues is the third expansion pack for Fallout New Vegas which, at least I felt, feels like an expansion pack for Fallout 3 in itself. The last two add-on adventures were okay but could have done with a bit more va-va-voom. Luckily, Old World Blues is the best expansion for the game yet with some great characters, funny dialogue and a few new weapons, outfits and perks that you can of course take back with you into the main game once you’ve completed it. After stumbling across a fallen satellite at a drive-in you wake up to find...

Captain America Super Soldier review

There’s no two ways about it, the first half of 2011 has been awful for Wii owners. There have been hardly any games at all, let alone many good ones. Of course Nintendo themselves have been far too distracted with the 3DS to worry about Wii, but that doesn’t explain the lack of third party content. The latter half of this year will at least see a few final big titles for Wii owners to look forward to. Anyway, who’d have thought that it would be Nintendo’s old rivals Sega, stepping up to fill the void this summer? Let me...

Call of Juarez The Cartel review

The previous Call of Juarez games passed me by but I understand that Call of Juarez: The Cartel takes the Wild West theme and brings it into the modern day with cars instead of horses, hookers instead of whores and big guns as well as six shooters. The game is set in 21st Century Los Angeles and Mexico as a team of three agents with different agendas come together to bring down the Mendoza Cartel who are responsible for a bombing. It’s a first-person shooter which can be played either solo with two AI characters or in full co-op mode...
