Max: The Curse of Brotherhood Review
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood comes from a strange cross of Limbo-esque gameplay mixed with the artistic style of a Pixar movie. Oh and a big magic pen, throw that in there too. Created by Press Play, a Danish studio recently acquired by Microsoft, Max is a 2.5D platformer and…
Spellforce 2: Demons of the Past Review
Spellforce 2: Demons of the Past is the latest addition to the generally successful Spellforce series published by Nordic Games. Not a direct expansion of the previous titles, Demons of the Past is a stand-alone entry that doesn’t require a single one of its predecessors to be able to play…
Age of Empires II: The Forgotten Review

X-COM: Enemy Within Review

City of Horror Board Game Review
Everyone loves a zombie game so why not also have a zombie boardgame. However in this game it is not all about mankind standing together and overcoming the undead horde. It is very much every man and women for themselves. City of Horror follows the tale of a handful of…
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate HD Review
As the latest edition to MercurySteam’s Castlevania reboot, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate HD has faced some harsh criticism since its release, and not for its ridiculously long title. From its lower difficulty level to its confused sense of identity, Mirror of Fate certainly is a little…
Deadfall Adventures Review
Deadfall Adventures is what happens when you take Indiana Jones and decide to make it worse in every way. It has all the hallmarks of a great game with first-person gunplay, solving ancient puzzles and a wise-cracking protagonist. But sadly The Farm 51 just didn’t have the resources to make…

Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea Episode 1 DLC Review

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Review
It’s no secret that I am a fan girl when it comes to the Lego games; really, LEGO Star Wars is the best Star Wars game going right? So when Lego Marvel Super Heroes tuned up at my door I was more than excited. The best thing about this game…
Contrast Review
Contrast is a game which oozes style from every pore. Noir visuals and a smooth jazz soundtrack do much to set this game apart from grey power-fantasy shooters and colourful indie hits. Letting you hop from a 3D platformer to a 2D side-scroller at a whim, Contrast has a lot…
Call of Duty: Ghosts Review
For over half a decade we have been treated to an annual franchise that never seems to stop impressing its fans. With every release though, the counter movement grows more and more livid, annoyed by the celebration of repetition and a lack of innovation. Since the first Modern Warfare, Infinity…

Bioshock Infinite BradyGames Guide Review
Reviewing a guide is a strange experience, sitting somewhere between a hardware and a software review. On the one hand it serves a distinct purpose like a piece of hardware and can be judged on how well it serves that purpose, but on the other hand it’s also extremely subjective…
The Dark Eye: Demonicon Review
Originating from Germany, The Dark Eye is a pen-and-paper RPG that never caught on much elsewhere.

Dwarves and Elves despise each other and there is a demonic undead army that hates everyone else.…
The Last of Us BradyGames Strategy Guide Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review
I knew this game would be bad coming into this review. We didn’t even know it was coming out, we didn’t even ask for a review copy. It just appeared like the haunted video tape in The Ring and I knew it was going to be about as much fun…
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies 3DS Review
The Ace Attorney series of games has always been held in high regard. With the quirky sprite art characters and somewhat clever courtroom puzzles, the series grabbed gamers from all backgrounds. Some played for the almost point-and-click style of gameplay, some for the courtroom battles but all agree that these…
