Game Reviews
Dead Island: Riptide
19/05/2013 The first Dead Island game created a mixture of opinions and reviews upon its release. Some loved it, others hated it, and there were even a small number of people who viewed it as a “guilty pleasure”. Although Dead Island was fun to play, I personally felt it was almost...
Metro: Last Light
19/05/2013 Metro: Last Light is the second game in the Metro franchise and is based off of novels written by Dmitry Glukhovsky. The premise is simple; a post-apocalyptic Russia where humanity has been forced underground to live in the metro system and forge a semblance of normal life....
Don't Starve
15/05/2013 Being released in the early part of 2013, Don’t Starve contends with bigger titles - but it holds its ground. It boasts a sketchy, niche art style and easy to understand mechanics, both being attributes that have helped Klei make their name. It isn’t the graphics, gameplay...
Way of the Dogg
07/05/2013 Take rhythm games, Snoop Dogg and add a ridiculous story involving time travel and you get 'Way of the Dogg'. There has been no promotion from 505 Games about Way of the Dogg, and the first time I had heard of it personally was upon its Xbox LIVE release. Part Wu-Tang: Taste...
Double Dragon: Wander of the Dragons
06/05/2013 Some of my favourite games growing up were classic beat-em-ups like Double Dragon, Golden Axe and Final Fight. Last year’s Double Dragon Neon was an absolute treat to beat-em-up fans, as Way Forward not only made a fantastic tribute to the original Double Dragon but also...
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
30/04/2013 This week I received a copy of 'Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen', and while it contains everything I loved about the first release of the game and more, reviewing the revamped release has proven to be a tricky subject. Do I approach the game and only review the extra content? Or...
Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Uprising DLC
28/04/2013 The first Call of Duty: Black Ops II expansion was fairly decent, with new maps taking place in a skatepark, hydroelectric dam and a hotel which has been devastated by a sandstorm. Arguably the weakest component in revolution was the new Zombies map Die Rise, which may not be...
Injustice: Gods Among Us
25/04/2013 Midway Games' closure seemed to be a blessing in diguise for NetherRealm Studios. Since being acquired by Warner Bros Entertainment, NetherRealm are off to a tremendous start for a newly-formed developer, with 2011's Mortal Kombat reboot being praised by critics and fans...
Motocross Madness
24/04/2013 Mention reboots around a group of gamers and you will no doubt start a heated debate. When you reboot anything (TV shows, movies, video games) change too much and you lose your initial audience. Keep everything roughly the same, and you...
Defiance
09/04/2013 Developing and maintaining an MMO is no easy task, especially one as ambitious as 'Defiance' by Trion Worlds. Not only is Defiance an MMO shooter available on PC, Steam, PS3 and Xbox 360, it also has a TV show on the Syfy network (SF in Australia).
There is a lot of hard work...
