“With great power, comes great responsibility” is what I think I was supposed to gather from Dark Sector, Digital Extreme’s new super-powered and superhuman third-person action game. The title has been a long time coming – four years to be exact – and at times its existence only as a shiny tech demo led […]

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Review
Back in 2006 there were two games duking it out for your attention; Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas. With the hype meter on overdrive for Epic’s stop and pop shooter, it was surprising when Ubisoft Montreal’s reboot of the Tom Clancy tactical action game busted down the holiday doors and stole some of […]

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty Review
Here’s a little history lesson: World War II began on September 3rd 1939, and ended six years later on August the 14th 1945. And, today is your lucky day because I have another; the first WWII game came out in 1984 and we have seen a flood of them ever since. Now, for those of […]

Grab a liquor bottle, chug the whole damn thing, pick up another and smash it in the face of a crazed and rotting lunatic, who probably needed therapy rather than the face full of glass you just served him. Now, what could this possibly be? Hopefully not your Sunday afternoon… this could only be Condemned […]

Forget about your Xbox 720 or PS4, forget about having to drop another 400 dollars 4 years from now and forget about what you used to call a console generation. Pick up your system of choice now, because both of them will be around for ten years.
Let’s face it: game development is expensive. Your average […]
Mass Effect “Bringing Down the Sky” DLC Review
When Mass Effect was first announced the general expectation (as is with any Bioware RPG) was that in addition to an epic main quest there would be substantial side missions that extended and progressed the game and its universe. Unfortunately, flying to wildly different planets, vast sci-fi cities and interesting subplots turned out to be […]

Devil May Cry 4 Review
The popular Devil May Cry series has followed the exploits of Devil Hunter for hire Dante, and his scantily clad entourage through several installments. The first title was a huge step forward for action games, the second was one of the worst sequels of all time and although the third was a return to form […]

Phil Harrison: Genius or Dunce?
On March 3rd, we received official confirmation that Phil Harrison had stepped down from his position as creative director for Sony Computer Entertainment, to take up the presidency of Infogrames, a French publishing house. This begs the question of why he would leave a successful corporation, one at the beginning of a positive PR swing, […]

After three full seasons of the smoke monster, the hatch, the Others and many other complex and occasionally incomprehensible twists, television’s ‘Lost’ has been the subject of mind numbing analysis and long winded debates among its adamant fans. These ‘Losties’ turn their cognitive gears into overdrive, they treat the canon like it’s the subject of […]

Everyone has been to a marginally hard rocking concert at some point in their life: the eardrum crushing noise, too many fat sweaty guys with long hair head banging and shamelessly air guitaring in unison. But not everyone can say they know the feeling of performing for a crowd, being part of a band, a […]
