Frankenreview: God Of War III

Kratos is tough enough to take on the gods, but is he man enough to face the assembled video game critics in the God of War III Frankenreview?

Face-Off: Final Fantasy XIII

The rumours are true. Final Fantasy XIII on Xbox 360 isn’t anywhere near as impressive as it is on PlayStation 3. The real kicker is that it’s a lot worse than it should have been.

Star Trek Online Review: A Piece Of The Action

After years of television series, books, cartoons, movies, and video games for both consoles and PCs, Star Trek faces the final frontier: the massively-multiplayer role-playing game.

White Knight Chronicles

Made by Level 5, the people that brought us Dragon Quest 8, Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy, White Knight Chronicles has been a long time coming and hasn’t let us down. The 360 may be the console of choice for role-playing games but this title aims to redress that balance.

Bayonetta on the PlayStation 3 is simultaneously gratuitous, ludicrous, and great, but it’s unfortunately held back from its potential by a number of technical issues.

Resident Evil 5 review

Not content to sit on their laurels after the launch of the massively popular Street Fighter 4, Capcom follow it up with yet another blockbuster title destined for a place in the Game of the Year charts this December, Resident Evil 5. After the plaudits received for episode 4 of the franchise it would be an understatement to say that expectations have been high for number 5.

GTA IV: The Lost And Damned review

Arguably 2008’s game of the year, Grand Theft Auto 4 was a watershed title that served up the most breathtakingly realised open-world that gamers had ever seen. A year on and Rockstar return to the sprawling and vibrant Liberty City to craft a stunning new tale as good as any in GTA’s rich history.

Street Fighter 4 review

Street Fighter 2 was the definitive beat ‘em up of the 90’s and arguable nothing has come close since, despite many copycats and wannabe successors. Street Fighter 4 returns us to the core elements that made the original title such a hit and after months of its release in the arcades of Japan, Capcom have released it on PS3 and XBox 360, with a PC version coming soon.

Last year’s Skate from EA proved to us that there’s more to skateboarding games than Tony Hawks Pro Skater series which has started to lose its way recently. We take a closer look at the follow up…

Prince of Persia review

Last year Ubisoft Montreal introduced a new IP which raised the bar for future action/platformers in terms of scope and visual finesse. This year they have returned to a more familiar franchise and, on the whole, the Canadian team have delivered the goods again with a well crafted title that oozes visual quality.
