Batman Arkham Asylum review

So after a disappointing delay, Batman: Arkham Asylum has finally sneaked onto the shelves so listen up to find out if it’s any good. The game begins with Batman bringing the Joker into Arkham Asylum and then he conveniently and easily escapes further into Arkham Island to cause mayhem as he formulates a toxin to turn normal goons into super soldiers. So Brucey baby swoops from ledge and kicks and punches people in the face to put a stop to it. Combat is a simple matter of punch and counter buttons being pressed at the right time. Build up a...

Tomb Raider Underworld review

Okay so I know Tomb Raider Underworld has been out for a year now but I was never fortunate enough to get a copy – until now. So if you haven’t played the game yet, is it worth it? Watch and learn. Underworld follows on where Legend left off and begins with Lara escaping from her burning mansion. Even her friend Zip is trying to kill her and we don’t know why. Flashback a while and we see Lara diving for treasure in warm oceans and finding out some interesting facts about Thor’s hammer. From there she travels around the...

Dissidia Final Fantasy review

If you’re a Final Fantasy fan then you’ll be chewing your arm off to play Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Of course, don’t do that because you’ll have trouble playing it on your PSP. In a move similar to Super Smash Bros paying fan service to Nintendo junkies, Square Enix have taken a whole host of characters from most of their Final Fantasy games and put them into a fighting arena where they can battle each other one on one and earn tonnes of collectables. Tidus, Cloud, Cecil, Sephiroth and others all appear in the ultimate battle between good and evil. It...

ColorZ review

From the developers of I-Fluid; probably one of the best looking PC games I’ve ever played comes a brand new title called ColorZ for Wii. ColorZ is a WiiWare title that costs just 700 points so let’s see if it’s worth the virtual currency in my review of ColorZ for Wii. It’s a sad thing to hear that WiiWare hasn’t really taken off as greatly as predicted; perhaps it’s because the Wii’s storage options have been given a bad name or that most titles on WiiWare are somewhat overpriced. For whatever reason the lack of interest in WiiWare shows a...

Wolfenstein review

Wolfenstein 3D was one of the first, if not THE first, of the First-Person Shooters, a forerunner of the better known Doom franchise which was wowong gamers way back in the mists of time in an era when videogame consoles didn’t have the processing power to run a nuclear reactor, and the kids who played on them (and it WAS kids back then) were generally looked on the same way anyone who works in the IT industry is these days, ie: as a bit nerdy. It inspired a generation of developers, caused controversy with its use of Nazi imagery, but...

Tales of Monkey Island Episode 2 review

Hot on the heels of my review of Tales of Monkey Island Episode One here comes my review of Tales of Monkey Island Episode Two. Before I go any further I must give you a spoiler warning; this review continues on from my review of Episode One and if you don’t want to read how that story finished you best head away now. At the end of Tales of Monkey Island Episode One we helped Guybrush successfully launch the Screaming Narwal into the high seas to go after his gorgeous wife Elaine and the now seemingly non evil Le Chuck....
