Alan Wake is scary at points, but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a horror game. The box promises a "psychological action thriller", which is exactly what it delivers.

Rule of thumb when making a video game is to have a reason for making the game. This is the problem with The Forgotten Sands: it doesn't have one. There is no legitimate reason for its existence, and this irks me greatly.

While the story of The Passing doesn’t pack the dramatic punch I was hoping for, the campaign is still an excellent slew of set pieces, extra content and hidden treats. Steam user will get The Passing for free but even for 560 Microsoft Points it’s a worthy purchase.

Sam Fisher is back and better than ever.

Toy Soldiers is a fun title that any fan of the tower defense genre should own.

The familiar storyline coupled with the highly addictive game play are likely to keep the average player spell-bound for large periods of time. However, delve beneath its shiny exterior and you’ll find an uninspired and sub-par remake of one of the series strongest titles.

Scoring SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 was difficult because your enjoyment of it will vary dramatically if you invest a lot of time into it.

Oh God, it just oozes nostalgia.

Once you get over the feeling of familiarity Bioshock 2 really flourishes, taking everything that was great about the prequel and adding a few tweaks for good measure.

So what if Dante's Inferno isn't a perfect game. It has its flaws but who cares? It's brutally brilliant fun.

Those of you expecting to see Pyramid Head or references to the occult will be in for quite a shock.

Vancouver 2010 is a step in the right direction for winter sport simulators but the lack of a career mode and the boring gameplay mechanics turns the game very much into a short-lived experience that's not worth more than a rent.

It’s sad, but it’s true: The Saboteur was a disappointing end to a respectable career.

While at first it's an interesting, exciting puzzle-shooter hybrid experience, it slowly transforms into a weary battle between you and the game's awkward level design and fairly inaccurate aiming system.

Tekken 6 feels like the summation of the last decade's work and the most complete fighter around. It is not going to have the same impact that Tekken 3 did ten year's ago, but Tekken 6 is still a massive return to form for the series and confirmation that the fighting game renaissance is more than just a Street Fighter induced fad.

Even though Assassin's Creed 2 is a clear improvement on its prequel, it's held back by so many problems that shouldn't be there.

It's the fact that Valve made Left 4 Dead 2 with you in mind, tapping into your psychology and using it against you, that makes it such a great game.

Over ambitious and under developed, Bloodlines sometimes flirts with excellence but these moments are few and far between in a game that is dragged down by controll issues and technical limitations.

I would write something witty here in the excerpt about the game, but to be honest, I can't think of anything whatsoever. Here's the review of Modern Warfare 2, ladies and gentlemen.

A review of this summer's Wolfenstein.

A video game that parodies other video games? I was intrigued too. Not a game with massive publicity or massive appeal, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard is a third person shooter that seems to have been made purely to mock other games. It’s a simplistic, fairly rudimentary shooter that shines more in its storytelling than its core gameplay, but even then, it’s not a masterpiece. Matt Hazard is a failing video game character, who...

Borderlands is an adventurous RPG/FPS hybryd, and a good one at that.

Yep, that's my blood... that's a lot of my blood...

Rocksteady have delivered a stellar title that raises the bar for other superhero games to reach. I’ve found myself in a bit of a pickle while writing this. After getting my hands on a copy of Arkham Asylum and finally getting the chance to sit down and really take it in, I found myself getting deeply immersed in the world of Batman. I think the reason why though was that this particular Batman adaptation doesn’t follow code:...

Six years on, I look at what made this such a succesful game.

They're here, theyre small, but are they any good?

Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny is a successful portable debut for the fighting franchise. It excels in deep combat but the depth is lacking everywhere else.

Despite this game having the pitfall of being a movie-game tie-in, it manages not to fall in… just… This game (and its film counterpart) is a direct follow on from the last one, which in its own right was a fantastic piece of cinematogra- bah! It sees Shia LeBeouf, in the form of a teenager who has somehow struck gold and wound up with a girl considered by most to be the most attractive woman in the world, helping robots who...

It’s common knowledge that games spawned from movies tend to suck. When X-Men Origins: Wolverine came along, the general consensus of the gaming public before playing this game was that it would follow tradition. But this game has an ace up its sleeve: it was developed before the film, in the more brutal and gory style that the film should have had. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a rarity, a game that is better than its movie father. The...

There's not much zen, but the pinball is fantastic!

This new contender in the already established ring of fighting games is sure to shake things up and send them running for their money.

Battlefield 1943 is a fantastic multi player game with a few rough edges, but at it's lucrative price-point, it's hard to say no.

Unplugged is a perfectly portable gameplay package with exceptional presentation but is only worth a purchase if you dig the set-list.

It's an MMO. It's free. It's quite good.

Lord of the Rings Online is 2 years old. To celebrate I wrote a review.

Ah, me hearties. It's time to set sail and clicke this here article for views on thee game.

Perhaps it’s my love for all things Asian that makes me the wrong person to review Hammerin’ Hero, which is unapologetically Japanese. In fact, everything about this weird game is as cliche Japanese as it gets. Then again, this could make me the PERFECT person to write this review, as I laughed at most of the jokes as the cute J-poppy graphics hit a home run with me. That said, the PSP already has a Japanese inspired, tough...

Does the evil carry over onto next gen consoles or is it starting to lose its malice?

Sergant Grayson faces up agains his worst enemies, the Chimera and the French, in this portable epic.

Does this game belong on your "wanted" list? Read on to find out!

The overall package of F.E.A.R 2 is definitely worth checking out, although the single player experience is where it shines brightest.

I have a riddle for you to crack. What does a giant haired soccer player, a sphinx, enormous mushrooms, and a creature that can stretch it’s body seamlessly across the Earth have in common? While I let you ponder that question, let me introduce you to the wonderfully demented world of Noby Noby Boy. Many players got a sample of what goes on in the mind of game designer Keita Takahashi when he released the lunatic and highly addictive...
