Far Cry 3

Far Cry 3 review

So here’s the deal. I loved Far Cry on the PC, not so much on the Xbox, didn’t really get into Far Cry 2, and 3 wasn’t even on my radar – so much in fact that I thought the dude on the cover was who you played. Well I soon learned he’s actually a very bad man called Vaas and he’s part of one of the best intros to a game ever. You see, you and your chums have gone travelling and have decided to go skydiving. The good news is it’s not the fall that kills you, the...

Mirrors Edge 2 rumours

The cat’s out of the bag, or at least the girl will be running over those rooftops again in Mirrors Edge 2 . EA Games VP Patrick Soderlund told OXM that EA doesn’t just want Swedish developers DICE to become a Battlefield-only studio. Couple that with Ben Cousins, former boss of EA free-to-play saying on Twitter that it’s “general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror’s Edge 2 is in production at DICE” and I’d say that’s pretty much a sure thing that we’re due another parkour playthrough most probably sometime next year.

ZombiU

ZombiU trailers

Ubisoft have released a couple of live action trailers for Wii U launch title ZombiU. They follow the plight of two survivors in London who give a testimony to camera and are then promptly attacked by some virus-infected weirdos. My advice? Make sure all doors and windows are secure before making videos to send to your mates on YouTube. Kids! Buy ZombiU now New: Buy ZombiU from Amazon.com Related: Wii U, zombie video games

Once bought, customers realised it needed a firmware update of over 1GB which on slower networks could take more than an hour to download. People with dodgy connections reported interrupted updates and bricked consoles as a result. So the question is, is anyone in need of an expensive black paper weight?

Hitman Absolution

Hitman Absolution review

Agent 47 finally returns in Hitman: Absolution and it’s about time because after 6 and a half years he’s in danger of being usurped by other baldy anti-heroes. Breaking Bad’s Walter White and Larry David have enjoyed many an episode on TV but the smartly dressed killer with a red tie surely is the king on computers and consoles. This time the story’s of a more personal nature. In fact, the hit he’s asked to execute is that of his former boss. Of course things are more complicated than that and the game leads you through 20 levels where not...
