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 »
If you’re in the land of the rising sun and have the game already, none of this will be news to you. As for the rest of us, Project X Zone is a love letter to fans of Namco, Capcom and Sega that is as equal parts fun as it is crazy. Not Tom Cruise crazy; more “hey, thats Heihachi from Tekken fighting Lord Raptor from Darkstalkers, and now John McClane from Die Hard is blowing shit up” crazy. Read More »
Most fans of the Naruto anime might see the box art for Powerful Shippuden and think they’ve died and gone to chibi hell. Naruto has always been a series that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which lends itself nicely into a game where everybody’s activated Big Head Mode and the males can wear a swan tutu without a shred of dignity being lost.

The Souls series is a genre unto itself. Brutally unforgiving, the games are polarising. Some say that they’re masochistically hard, while others claim that they’re masochistically hard and they want more.

Having played the remastered version of the original Budokai, I can honestly say that’s a justified thought to have. Read More »
I’ve said it many, many times – Dark Souls is the best game that has ever been made. Ever. I can’t think of a single game that betters it in any way, and feel confident that if anyone tried to challenge me on this veritable fact, I would school them so hard it would send them back through time to kindergarten, their pants leaking with urine.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is hands-down, the quintessential Tekken experience. After 18 years of fine-tuning the series, Katsuhiro Harada and the geniuses over at Namco Bandai have managed to concoct a game that possesses everything you could ever want in a fighter. With a whopping 59 characters, an deceptively simple yet deep fighting system and a slew of polished online and offline game modes, it’s hard not to be spoiled for choice. Read More »
Sleeping Dogs has had quite an eventful development history. Originally called True Crime: Hong Kong, it was unceremoniously dumped by Activision several months before release. Luckily Square Enix was there to pick it up, further building upon it and providing us all with a pretty great game. Read More »
