Bioshock Infinite got a great review and then they announced Burial at Sea, DLC that would continue not in Columbia, but in the world of Rapture. For a BioShock fan such as myself and like many people out there who are fans this was like a dream coming true. Coming…

Do you see yourself as a guardian of peace and aim to keep the world from falling apart? Or do you wish to see it burn to the ground as you hold the torch that lights it? Behold, the Jace vs. Vraska Duel Decks are here for you to indulge…

If you happened to be standing on the gaming train tracks a few weeks ago, you may have found yourself being crushed to death by the hype train as the 14:03 service to Titanfall steamed through town. Rather than beast out a review in a few days, I thought it…

Many Japanese role-playing games have become household names in the western world, combining fast paced battle systems with a story of usually epic proportions. One of the most well-known of these franchises is the Tales series, which was originally produced by Namco in the early 90’s and is still going…

Many people say that video games nowadays lack a certain level of challenge. Gamers comment on a title’s testing aspects more than ever before and need to feel the euphoria of overcoming a difficult opposition. No game of the current generation can give you nearly as much of this sensation…

A few of the Metal Gear Solid games have included an opening scene in which the game’s mechanics and style are introduced, separate from the main story of the game. In Metal Gear Solid 2, players took control of Solid Snake aboard a tanker in the Hudson River for a…

Back in 2002, Final Fantasy X came out to showcase the power of the PS2's emotion engine. While considered primitive now, it was ground-breaking stuff at the time, and because of that it not holds a special place in the collective JRPG memory. Twelve years later, both Square-Enix and fans…

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare is not your typical shooter, that’s for sure. Reminiscent of the wackiness of yesteryear, when we had games like Timesplitters, Garden Warfare attempts to show us that shooters don’t need to be all doom and gloom World War 3 scenarios. But does PopCap’s first foray…

It would be easy to describe Thief by what it isn't, rather than what it is. It isn't Dishonored, it isn't a direct sequel to the rest of the Thief series, and it isn't that great. That isn't a fair way of reviewing something however, and I don't want to…

As the grand finale to the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, the somewhat unhelpfully titled Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII tries to improve upon the issues of the games it follows. After the linearity of XIII, and the back and forth muddle of XIII-2, Lightning Returns successfully combines the two into…

I went down to South Park and there I had myself a time. Humble folks were found everywhere, most of which you could instantly recognise if you are a fan of the show, in which case South Park: The Stick Of Truth is a game you will want to get…

After the success of Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii and Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo has once again asked Retro Studios to make an all-new entry in the jungle-based platform adventure series. Deciding to take full advantage of their latest home console, Retro has released Tropical Freeze, which adds all-new…

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst is essentially Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, but this version comes packed with all the DLC available on one disk. The game starts off by throwing you into chaos as the Nine-tailed Demon Fox is wreaking havoc on Naruto’s home village.…

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is, strangely, the third entry in the re-imagined trilogy by MercurySteam, and has broken new ground as the first Castlevania title to star Dracula as its primary protagonist. This final chapter in Gabriel’s story is bloody, dark and genuinely disturbing, but is playing a vampire…

Tired of your regular Free-To-Play games? Want to play something that has guns, gore and glorious mayhem? Then Edge of Reality has made a gamefor you. Welcome to Loadout, a third person shooter that combines comedic and cartoony characters with incredible customisation. With many FTP games out there on the…

When many people consider the JRPG genre, they often imagine a quest to save the world, or rescue the royal family from despair. But the latest offering from Nihon Falcom dares to make a game out of an easily attainable quest, and for the most part, this is a decision…

Originally released on PC in 2012, Dustforce has now come to consoles. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions update the game with new features; most notable is the inclusion of an online component to the multiplayer, which is almost a shameless love-letter to Super Smash Bros. Dustforce is a 2D…

As far as previous generation games go, Tomb Raider was hardly lacking in the visuals department, so it may seem like a strange choice for a visual upgrade and shunt onto the now current generation consoles. The most obvious motivation for this is money, though Crystal Dynamics have stated that…

Dementium: The Ward was quite possibly the first survival horror game to come to the DS, and even with its flaws it was a niche success. Later, Dementium II came in 2010 and took the good bits from the first game, improved on them and established a strong cult following.…

After my stellar review of the first episode, it has been a cruel four month wait until The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2 – Smoke and Mirrors. Picking up the morning after the initial episode's conclusion, it was almost as if the extended absence never happened at all. Two hours…

Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD marks many firsts for the Assassin’s Creed series. Originally released on the Playstation Vita and now re-mastered, it is the only game so far to make the leap from handheld to console, to not feature Desmond’s bloodline, and to have a female lead. That’s where most…
