ICO and Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection review

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were seen as two classics on the PS2 so I’ve been looking forward to playing these two games again with better graphics and a decent framerate. If you’re not familiar with the games, they both present the gamer with beautiful mysterious worlds. Ico came first, so let me tell you about that. The game begins with a young boy with horns being imprisoned in a castle where you soon escape and realise you’re not the only one who’s been kept captive. You meet a young girl with magical powers and together you must try...

FIFA 12 review

I’ve seen a lot about FIFA 12 in the run up to launch and after playing it at preview events I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Now it’s here and they’ve made quite a few changes. Most of them are for the good but some they also present their own problems which could probably be smoothed out in FIFA 13. The main thing you’ll notice is the complete overhaul in the way the game plays. You can now dribble past defenders more easily thanks to new close control and no longer can you just hold down two...

Battlefield 3 Beta review

Battlefield 3 is almost upon us and last week saw the open beta go live. It was downloaded so much it even crashed the Origin servers so you can imagine just how popular and anticipated this CoD rival is. The beta lets you play on the Operation Metro map in Rush mode which sees you trying to attack or defend two M-COM stations at various places in the map and then progress towards the next set. It’s just a taster of what the whole game has to offer but already it’s looking very tasty as well. The 32 player stage...

Battlefield 3 criticised by expert as unrealistic

The beta for Battlefield 3 has been criticised online for not being as realistic as it should by someone claiming to be a former SWAT member. He says that the excessive use of lights and lasers on guns would be a ‘death wish’ for the user and torches would only be used temporarily for clearing buildings and lasers are ‘crutches’ for people who can’t shoot.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier release date update

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier has finally been given a release date by Ubisoft. The new expected date for the game not taking into account further delays will be 6th March in the US and off the back of this, an estimated 9th March release date in Europe. In the game you play as Sergeant John Kozak, the ultimate ‘quiet professional’, as you fight across 8 locales. I just hope one of those is a library.
