The Witcher 2

Not 6 months since Skyrim and almost straight off the back of Kingdoms of Amalur, we have The Witcher 2. The similarities between these three may seem obvious at a glance, but you’d be foolish to quickly brush this off as another wannabe... Read More »

1. Beavis and Butt-head Return!

   Socially awkward, mischievous, crude, juvenile, dim-witted, woefully undereducated, barely literate, teenage delinquents. Yes, Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head make their triumphant return to MTV UK on Monday April 16th @ 10pm.. After a career hiatus of 15 years, Mike Judges’ Beavis and Butt-Head are back to unleash their perspective on today’s society, commenting on everything... Read More »

3. Asura’s Wrath

   Asura’s Wrath would have you believe that it’s different; a game that attempts to separate itself from the norm, succeeding and failing in an unfortunately disparate measure. Problems on the back burner for a second, credit should be given to the scale and spectacle, and how compelling it all can be when in full swing.... Read More »

5. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

   Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning – don’t worry, I’m not referring to it in full again – does something that most RPGs don’t do well. It prioritises customisable, fluid and effortlessly fun combat over storytelling and context. Sure, it has a beautiful-yet-generic fantasy world, bathes in depth and lore, and has the potential to suck plenty... Read More »

7. Playstation Vita

   The Playstation Vita is here and if the hype is anything to go by it’s set to blow your little hands from their fleshy sockets.

9. Final Fantasy XIII-2

   Whether you loved it, hated it or simply weren’t bothered by its glossy shimmer, Final Fantasy XIII was essentially a flamboyant corridor with a room at the end of it. Granted, the room at the end wasn’t half bad, but the seemingly endless slog that preceded it undoubtedly soured the final hours. By then many... Read More »

11. The Elder Scrolls V ~ Skyrim

      The best bits about The Elder Scrolls 5 are the surprises. The places I haven’t found yet, the people I haven’t spoken to, or the mysteries that I am yet to uncover. These unmentioned activities are going to make Skyrim your own unending adventure. Your personal, potentially perilous quest through the northern wastes, plotting... Read More »

13. Halo ~ Combat Evolved Anniversary

      Ten years ago, I was ten years old. Apart from making me realise how quickly time disappears before your eyes, Halo Anniversary is a testament to just how good Bungie’s masterpiece was back in 2001. A vision of brilliance and the superb introduction to one of today’s most recognisable protagonists, Combat Evolved contributed massively... Read More »

15. Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7

      The lovable charm is here in bucket loads but ,for some, so is the overbearing familiarity. Such is the same with Harry Potter Years 5 – 7, a delightful mini-figure adventure that rounds up the second half of the titular series. For some, its downfalls are undoubtedly all to commonplace to ignore,but for a... Read More »

17. Call Of Duty ~ Modern Warfare 3

    Like it or not, Call of Duty is huge. Over the last few years, the teams involved have managed to turn a release into THE release.
