The Saboteur

The Saboteur review

If there’s one thing gamers like doing it’s shooting Nazis. Whether it’s in the first-person mode of Wolfenstein or shooting Nazi zombies in Call of Duty, it’s a lot of fun. Pandemic’s sandbox game lets you shoot them, run them over and blow them up as you attempt to liberate areas around Paris from the regime as a tough-talking whisky-swilling mechanic called Sean Devlin. If you’ve played any Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row game you’ll know the deal. You drive to an icon on the map, get given a mission which is usually to escort someone, kill somebody or...

Diner Dash review

All of us have played a time waster game at some point in our lives. Maybe it was Tetris on the Gameboy or perhaps more recently Peggle on your iPhone. One thing for certain is that even the most core of gamers love a bit of light-hearted high score based gaming in between bouts of Modern Warfare 2 or any other hit game you’d like to mention. Diner Dash has been a huge success since its release in 2003 as a simple PC flash game and can now be found on more than 12 different platforms. If you thought you...

Formula 1 F1 2009

Formula 1 F1 2009 review

Motor Racing seems to be one of those sports that people either love or hate. Oddly enough I’m just about to contradict that by saying that I fall somewhere in-between. I used to really enjoy Formula One but I have found that my enjoyment has dwindled somewhat over the last few seasons. All that said, I do love a good racing simulation and in the past I’ve spent many an hour pretending to race a car on my TV or PC monitor, in fact I still play Live For Speed every weekend and to this day have fond memories of...

Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2 review

Gamers kicked up a bit of a stink when they heard about Left For Dead 2 because lots of people thought it should just be an expansion of the original Left 4 Dead and not a full-blown title available at full price. Well, after playing it I’d say it’s worthy of being called a full sequel as it delivers lots more action and a fair few new ideas as well. Playing as four new survivors, once again you must escape the infected by shooting your way through them to safety. Now part of your arsenal is melee weapons. These range...

Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks

Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks review

Phantom Hourglass was a first for the Zelda franchise as it followed on from where The Wind Waker left off. The game proved to be a huge success despite some frustrating repetition as you had to keep fighting through the same dungeon in order to progress. Spirit Tracks takes Link away from the ocean and puts him in a little steam train which delivers a similar experience to sailing around the land, only now you’re literally on rails. This time you’re actually playing as a different boy who dons the green garb to defeat an ancient demon. The Spirit Tower...

Tales of Monkey Island Episode 5

Tales of Monkey Island Episode 5 review

I can’t believe we’re finally at the end of Guybrush Threepwood’s latest adventure already. Episode 5 of Tales of Monkey Island is here and I can tell you now Guybrush isn’t in for an easy ride this time around. Before I get into this Tales of Monkey Island review I do want to warn you once again that you will see spoilers for the previous Tales of Monkey Island episodes, so if you’ve not played that yet, it’s time to do so. Monkey Island Episode 5 Rise of the Pirate God is the finale to what has been a very...
