Heavy Rain review

It’s hard what to make of Heavy Rain. It’s not really a game as we know it and it’s not really a movie. If you can imagine the two being merged together where you get to make some of the decisions and even control the movement of the characters then you’re close to what Heavy Rain is. In this game, the story is the star as you play as a number of different characters who are all involved in some way with the Origami killer – a nasty piece of work that drowns people. I won’t go into any more...

Resident Evil 5 Lost in Nightmares review

I haven’t picked up Resident Evil 5 since I played it to death last year but finally a bit of DLC crawls out of the grave in the form of Lost in Nightmares. This short piece of DLC focuses on the part of the main story when Chris tells Sheva how he lost touch with Jill when she fell out of a window with Wesker and you begin the game by entering the now very familiar Spence mansion as you investigate. This flashback chapter doesn’t even have you fight anything for the first ten minutes as you explore the mansion...

KeySonic Backlit Gaming Keyboard review

It’s not often we review hardware here on Gamesweasel. If truth be told nowadays most of our gaming time is spent on the consoles; PC gaming seems to have taken a bit of a back seat in recent years. That isn’t to say we don’t still enjoy a good PC game when it comes along. For example we recently reviewed Tales of Monkey Island and Empire Total War on PC. KeySonic were kind enough to supply us with a review unit of their latest low-priced gaming keyboard and therefore here comes our KeySonic Gaming Keyboard review. The particular keyboard we...

Pikmin New Play Control Wii review

One of the Nintendo Wii’s overlooked features is the ability to playback Nintendo Gamecube discs natively; a great option for those who already own Gamecube games or like to hunt eBay for those retro goodies. Not content with selling us new Wii games at $50 a time; someone high up at Nintendo has managed to sneak through the idea of re-releasing Gamecube games under a new branding and selling them to us once again. Ok so it might be a bit mean to label Pikmin New Play Control for Wii as a straight re-release as they have made alterations to...

Army of Two The 40th Day review

I guess the sequel to Army of Two isn’t called Army of Two 2 for good reason. It sounds silly. So, The 40th Day it is then and this second of the co-op heavy games sees Salem and Rios fronting their own private army in the buildings and streets of Shanghai. Right from the start it’s all going a bit Pete Tong when what seem to be terrorist attacks are making the skyscrapers around you fall like dominoes. You also happen to be on top of one of them and so your story begins trying to make it to safety...

Mass Effect 2 review

I’ve just finished Mass Effect 2 and the only word to describe this sequel from BioWare is epic! Never before have I felt such a connection to my NPCs as during the last mission against the Collectors – but let’s back up a bit so you know how I got there. So once again you play as John or Jennifer Shepard and you now work for a company called Cerberus which still has humanity’s interests at heart but are frowned upon as terrorists by the Alliance. The Collectors are kidnapping humans across the galaxy and it’s up to you and...
