Duke Nukem Forever

Duke Nukem Forever release date

Still waiting for Duke Nukem Forever? Well now it’s finally going to see the light of day thanks to the guys at Gearbox. The game’s been in ‘development’ for the last 12 years but finally died a death when 3D Realms went kaput.

Having previously worked on such titles such as Borderlands and Counter Strike; we have high hopes of Duke Nukem having a rather triumphant...

Dead Space 2 review

Finally Dead Space 2 is here and after going to countless preview events and chatting to the guys that made it I finally get to play it. Thankfully, it doesn’t disappoint. Once again you step into the engineering suit of Isaac Clarke as you wake up in a straight jacket on a space station called The Sprawl above the moon of Titan. All hell’s breaking loose and of course there are plenty of Necromorphs to dismember along the way.

Mario Sports Mix review

When Mario Sports Mix came to me for review I assumed it would be a bit like Wii Sports but with all the characters from the Mario universe. What you actually get are four main games and four smaller party games you can play with friends in the same room or over Wi-Fi that play in a more conventional manner. All these games involve either a ball or a puck as you play basketball, dodgeball, volleyball or ice hockey using the remote turned on its side or the remote and nunchuck together. The major shame is there’s simply not that...
