There has been a lot of rumours surrounding Microsoft’s next foray into the console market and, as it turns out, not many of them were true. But the dust has settled and Microsoft has officially pulled the curtain back on the Xbox One. Read More »
When I heard about Persona 4 Arena, the only things I really knew about it was that it was being developed by Arc System Works (the brilliant team behind the BlazBlue series). However, Arena turned out to be more than just an excuse to get my arcade stick out – it was a surprise present that gave me something new in a genre I’d felt had gotten almost too comfortable with itself.

I’m not going to blame you if you haven’t paid much attention to Insomniac’s brand spanking new multiplatform IP, Fuse. After first being revealed under the title ‘Overstrike’ way back at E3 2011, and then becoming rebranded in Augst 2012 as Fuse, the game has kept a fairly low profile. Upon its reveal, I almost immediately classed it as “another generic third person shooter I’ll never play”. Read More »
The surface remains an uninhabitable, scarred monstrosity; a testament to the scary power at man’s fingertips. The air is a toxic cocktail of radiation and despair, as the terrain is tread only by the brave and bold, as well as the creatures left above to be warped by the harsh vicissitudes of nuclear fallout.

My gut instinct told me that Remember Me wouldn’t be a good game; however, this reaction wasn’t based on feeling alone. After that first trailer delivered a line so poorly and so cliche in structure that it threatened my eyes to roll back so far in my head I’d be mistaken for a Magic 8 ball. Read More »
Star Trek betrayed the benefit of the doubt I extended to it by getting worse level by level, which in itself is a marvel. After each introduction to every inane segment, my initial thought was “This just has to be the worst part of this game. There’s no way it can go downhill from here.” Read More »
While I was distracted registering an online account for Defiance, I failed to recognise the signs. Tells like a licensed tie-in, a nothing sci-fi series and Grant Bowler were all glanced over with rose-coloured glasses as I perused the cover art, all while waiting for patch after patch to download and install.
