DMC Devil May Cry

DMC Devil May Cry review

Most of what we’ve heard about this reboot of Devil May Cry is people moaning about Dante’s hair not being white. In fact, there’s even a little joke about his new barnet during the first level of the game but fear not, finish the game and you’ll be able to play through the levels again with a new shade of short haircut that might appease you. Fans of the older games will also be pleased that Cambridge based developers Ninja Theory have also done a good job of combining the hardcore gameplay of stringing combos of moves together to rack...

Ninja Gaiden 3 Razors Edge

Ninja Gaiden 3 Razors Edge review

Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge is one of many enhanced ports from HD consoles coming over to Nintendo’s dual-screen wonder with some added touch screen controls for the Gamepad and some new additions to the Ninja Gaiden gameplay to tweak what was, to be fair, a pretty average affair when it came out last year. Unfortunately I’m playing this game off the back of the sublime Devil May Cry remake as well which doesn’t help matters, and things are further compounded due to a game breaking bug fairly early on in the game which halted my progress so I’ll give...

Top 5 games of 2012

Top 5 Games of 2013

Here are the five games I’m mostly looking forward to in 2013. Crysis 3 At number five it’s Crysis 3. Prophet is back from the dead and this time he’s the one hunting down the Ceph and the CELL Corporation inside a massive Nanodome in New York. This urban jungle provides the perfect environment for Prophet to try out his brand new bow that not only strikes with silent and deadly accuracy but can also be used when cloaked. Graphically this game also looks stunning. See those blades of grass? Each one has its own physics – mental! Tomb Raider...

ZombiU review

The Wii U has actually had a good crop of launch titles available at launch and has a fair few titles on its way over the coming months. A lot of them are ports of games we’ve seen on other HD consoles but Ubisoft have been brave with a brand new IP that truly integrates the Gamepad Controller into the experience – so much in fact that half of the action you won’t see in this review as it happens on the smaller screen in your hand. ZombiU attempts to answer the question we’ve all asked each other in the...
