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...

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

Looking Back on Tenchu
01/02/2013
It seems like eons since there has been a Tenchu game. It has been 5 years since the release of the decidedly average Tenchu: Shadow Assassins on the Nintendo Wii and Sony PSP, and 7 years since Tenchu Z and Tenchu: Dark Secret were released on Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS respectively. It...
Dead Space 3 Demo – Impressions
I have a confession to make – I have never been much of a fan of the Dead Space series. I know what you’re thinking, if you haven’t been a fan of the Dead Space series why are you doing a first impressions article? The answer to that is, would you rather have someone that is a dedicated fan of the...

Doctor Rocket
Developer: Rippleware
Platform: Android
The best thing about Angry Birds is that it inspires people to make games that normally wouldn't even think to make. The lack of logic that goes into birds being shot via sling shot doesn't even comprehend why Doctor Rocket...
