HTC HD7 Trophy review

Mobile gaming is definitely on the increase thanks to iPhone sand Smartphones being pretty much ubiquitous nowadays. I must admit defeat and say that even though I own a Samsung Galaxy I am still jealous at the fact that iPhones do seem to run quicker with less crashes and they have better apps. But what about the newest contender, the Windows Phone? I had an SPV back the day which ran Windows on it and I liked it very much. Since then though I switched back to a simple Nokia until recently getting the Samsung. Just before Christmas, however, I...

Nail'd review

I tend to play things safe and not enter into danger unless it’s totally necessary. That’s why I’m a big softie with a fat belly; too much playing video games on the couch and not enough real world action. So if given the opportunity to drive a motorbike off a cliff in real life or in a video game, I’d probably choose the video game. I wouldn’t say I was scared, rather not totally stupid. Despite there being a whole host of All Terrain Vehicle racing games in existence, I’ve not played very many of them. The last was probably...

Killzone 3 review

The Killzone franchise is an odd one because I never really look forward to playing them, but when I do I find them an enjoyable if brief FPS experience. Set just after the events of Killzone 2, the game mostly revolves around Sevchenko and his pals trying to escape the city after killing Emperor Visari. Whilst Killzone 2 was set completely in the capital city of Pyrrhus, this time there is more variety as you not only fight amongst the rubble and ruins of the city but also sneak around what’s best described as the ‘countryside’ of Helghan, jet-pack about...

Marvel vs Capcom 3 Fate of Two Worlds review

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is the fifth game in the franchise where the Street Fighter characters and other Capcom mascots fight against Spider-Man, Hulk and countless other Marvel comic book heroes and villains. This time they’re also fighting together against Galactus, a greater evil with silly headgear that wants to feed on the Earth. If you’ve played any beat ‘em up before you’ll know what to expect. P1 vs P2 as you fight until you wear your opponent’s health bar down to zero or the timer runs out. The difference here is that you always fight in teams of three...

Donkey Kong Country Returns review

During the mid to late 90’s the Rare’s Donkey Kong Country series were my favourite games. Intense platforming action combined with graphics and music so awesome that you couldn’t believe they were coming out of a 16Bit Super Nintendo. I could also go as far to say that the original DKC was (and probably still is) my favourite 2D platform game of all time, Super Mario purists may scoff but there’s something I really like about the British take on the platform genre. In my opinion Rare were very innovate in bringing prerendered graphics to the SNES and they also...

Dead Space 2 review

Finally Dead Space 2 is here and after going to countless preview events and chatting to the guys that made it I finally get to play it. Thankfully, it doesn’t disappoint. Once again you step into the engineering suit of Isaac Clarke as you wake up in a straight jacket on a space station called The Sprawl above the moon of Titan. All hell’s breaking loose and of course there are plenty of Necromorphs to dismember along the way. This time Isaac has a face and a voice which adds an extra layer of character and makes you care more...
