Singularity review

There seem to be two types of FPS available to play. There are the ones that try to take real world events and real weapons and make a statement, and there are the ones that are as mental as the Mad Hatter after he’s had a sharp blow to the head. Singularity falls into the second camp and after I tell you the story you’ll know why. Set on a Russian island called Katorga-12, you play as an American soldier who crash lands after an EMP downs your helicopter. Unfortunately for you it’s also the site of lots of experiments...

Perfect Dark review

I can distinctly remember taking afternoon off from work at my first job in order to play Perfect Dark on release day back in June 2000. Built upon a much improved engine from Rare’s previous title GoldenEye; Perfect Dark was a very successful attempt to outdo Valve’s Half Life on inferior gaming hardware. So almost ten years later the same game has arrived on XBLA with updated visuals and online play. Let’s find out more in a review of Perfect Dark for XBLA. Perfect Dark is a futuristic first person shooter that was originally released back on the Nintendo 64....

MAG review

The first thought I had about MAG was that it seemed that not a huge amount of thought had gone into the game name – ‘Massive Action Game’ sounds like a work-in-progress title that nobody thought to change. However, like the annoying bloke on the ads for those DIY products used to say – ‘it does exactly what it says on the tin’ and gives you a fairly clear idea of what kind of game you’re getting, in this case a First-Person Shooter in which three Private Military Corporations (PMCs) via for supremacy across massive maps with up to 256...

Raven Squad review

In Raven Squad you play as two groups of mercs who land behind enemy lines to retrieve some data. Quite what that data is I can’t remember as this game bored me so much I almost fell into a coma. What they’ve tried to do is marry a first-person shooter with an RTS and the result is either a very poor FPS that’s sub-standard to nearly any other FPS I have ever played or an RTS so simple that you may as well be playing Cannon Fodder on the Amiga – actually go and play that because it’s better. In...

FEAR 2 Project Origin review

I know Project Origin’s been out for a while now but I never got round to playing it and things are quiet in the summer months so here goes my review. Set just before the end of the first game, this tale of terror and gunplay begins in an office block as you try to extract Professor Aristide from an apartment. During your mission the massive explosion is seen which wipes out the crew in the first game and you’re then involved in experiments, flashbacks, lots of slow-mo shooting action and of course Alma pops up now and again to...
