Combat Mission : Barbarossa to Berlin
PC
on 31 Jul 2010 by Mjarr author list
A certain Russian poet once said: "Russia cannot be understood with the mind" and considering how huge the landscape is and how many times someone has attempted to conquer it and fail miserably, he probably was highly accurate with his statement. In June 1941 Operation Barbarossa - the largest military operation ever executed in terms of manpower and casualties - began. [read more]
Limbo (XBLA)
Black and White?
on 26 Jul 2010 by kric author list
Lets get this out of the way first; the first 30-60 minutes of Limbo are probably the most enchanting of any XBLA game you'll play this year. It has a surreal, almost unsettling atmosphere and strikes many of the same chords as ICO and Shadow of the Colossus did all those years ago. The game looks excellent - it's a monochromatic [read more]

Yakuza 3 (Playstation 3)
on 22 Jun 2010 by THX-1138 4EB author list
Image: http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/2954/yakuza32008070707402258.jpg To write a comprehensive review for Yakuza 3 is a challenge. It's a game which encompasses a multitude of gaming and even cinematic conventions, and the enjoyment of the quirky JRPG/brawler/adventure hybrid is fundementally informed by the players knowledge of the culture the it explores. A culture far too complex to explore in detail here. Image: http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8287/yakuza3kazumainkamuroch.jpg There are [read more]

The Greatest Arcade Racer This Gen...
on 03 Jun 2010 by mfnick author list
Image: http://i50.tinypic.com/2wmnszn.jpg The arcade racer, its been a dieing breed this gen. In fact its worse, its practically dead. Which is strange when the last generation of consoles brought us what are arguably the greatest arcade racers ever to grace consoles. In particular the spectacular Burnout series & the fantastic conversion of Outrun 2 & Coast 2 Coast. Sure we’ve had [read more]

Arsenal of Democracy
PC
on 17 May 2010 by Mjarr author list
Strategists' erotic fantasy, regardless of your skill level. Recommended gadgets when playing: [...]
Random boring facts: it's been 70 years and 5 days roughly since the beginning of Fall Gelb (Case Yellow), the invasion of Low Countries by Germany and 11 days from here signals 70th anniversary for Operation Dynamo - the Dunkirk evacuation. While it has nothing got to do with this review directly, one could call it unofficial celebration of the [read more]
Aliens v Predator
Dirtyrat reviews it on 360
on 10 Apr 2010 by Dirtyrat author list
I'm going to keep this very brief. AvP has three campaigns and you can play through as a Marine, Alien or Predator. I've finished all three campaigns and I'd give them scores in the following order: Marine: 8.5/10 Awesome. if you're a fan of Aliens you'll love this. It's not quite wet your pants enough, which is why [read more]
Need For Speed Undercover
on 31 Mar 2010 by Vectra author list
The Need For Speed series has always varied in terms of how good they are, fans of the series love Porsche Unleashed for instance but loathe Pro Street. What confuses them is that EA constantly switch between realism and arcade gameplay which doesn't quite help the gamer new to the series. Okay so Shift is out now and doing a [read more]
Castlevania : Symphony of the Night (PS1)
on 14 Mar 2010 by Mjarr author list
Whipping Vlad's buttocks has been quite famous and popular thing since the first Castlevania. However, once you get to whip Vlad's arse by his own son - and to the date probably the only game where playing as a vampire is credible - things got just bit more interesting. Of course you could do this already in Castlevania 3 as [read more]
The King Of Fighters XII
on 13 Mar 2010 by THX-1138 4EB author list
The fighting game enjoyed a substantial comeback in 2009, Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 were the big hitters, but lets not forget two interesting efforts from Arc System Works, Battle Fantasia and BlazBlu. 2009 also seen the "rebirth" of SNK Playmore's classic, The King Of Fighters, in the form of the much hyped KOF XII. The results were divisive [read more]
A chink of light within Eternal Darkness
on 12 Mar 2010 by Bosker author list
This is intended as a misty eyed retrospective or piece of interest to those not so lucky to have enjoyed a modern classic and as such, contains what I like to call "mondo-spoilers". Enjoy You're possibly a nubile co-ed (whatever the hell one of those actually is), having a bad dream. Armed with a shotgun and alone in your dark [read more]
