Slither.io Game Review
Who remembers that classic game that become so popular with Nokia phones back in the 1990’s? You must realise that I am referring to the game Snake. It was a simple game bundled with most Nokia mobiles and became as iconic as that dreaded bleeping Nokia ring tone. Yes, the 1990’s was a great period …

Jagged Alliance: Back in Action Review
Jagged Alliance 2 was not an easy game. It was hard as heck. The remake, Jagged Alliance: Back in Action, promises to be every bit as difficult, if not more so, due in part to the change in game mode from turn-based strategy to pseduo-real-time. That means you’re going to be tempted to play this …

Goldeneye 007: Reloaded Review
The name is Bond, James Bond – A phrase that will be familiar with all James Bond fans. I’ll make it no secret that I have always been a big fan of James Bond and the huge amount of films that were made and continue to be made. For these reasons alone, I was really …
Battlefield 3 Review
The hotly anticipated Battlefield 3 has finally come to console, featuring everything from fighter jets to the large scale multiplayer action that we have come to know and love from developer DICE. Although the single player campaign doesn’t really live up to the game’s strengths, and the multiplayer campaign mode is limited to six levels, …
Fate of the World: Tipping Point Review
There simply aren’t many games like Fate of the World: Tipping point, out there. This PC game is not only a test of your mental capabilities; it is also fun and extremely educational. In the game you have an overview of the planet, its resources, power struggles, life forms, natural disasters and various other criteria. …
The Book of Unwritten Tales Review
This fun and quirky point-and-click adventure doesn’t really do anything new, but it does provide plenty of adventure and cartoon-esque enjoyment. The story of “The Book of Unwritten Tales” follows several key characters, including an intrepid, elderly archaeologist who possesses some (apparently) lost or unknown knowledge. Armed with this knowledge our sage archaeologist and an …
Sengoku Review
The latest title to take us back in time to fifteenth century feudal Japan is a strategy game from developer Paradox Interactive.

Marriage, assassination, diplomacy …
Madden NFL 12 Review
It’s that time of year again; the latest game from EA Tiburon has come to our consoles. We didn’t hear much from EA throughout the development of this new title, but that’s no problem as the finished product is a far tighter and more solid American football game than its predecessor; even if the vast …

Dead Island Review
There’s no denying that Dead Island isn’t a perfect game. It’s rough around the edges with many minor bugs in the gameplay and graphics, but don’t let that put you off! If you are looking for a zombie killing role playing game / first person shooter that’s packed full of action with plenty of land …
Steelseries Zboard Gaming Keyboard Review
Fans of StarCraft II are likely to be tempted by the offering from Steelseries; a Zboard custom designed with beautifully crafted artwork from the game itself.

Child of Eden Review
The release date for Ubisoft’s Child of Eden may have been pushed back to September for PlayStation 3, but this is a title that really promises to be worth the wait.

Stoked: Big Air Edition Review
The only name that used to appear in our minds when talking about Skateboarding games was Tony Hawks. The same way, when talking about snowboarding games, it is all about Stoked: Big Air Edition. It was first released in North America during the year 2009. Even though we are in 2011 with many other great …
Traffic Manager Review
Traffic Manager on PC is a strategic simulation game released on 3rd June 2011 by Excalibur Publishing Limited, developed by CyberPhobX.

Fable III Review
Fable III for PC Review With Fable I and II being huge successes, there indeed was a great burden on the developers of Fable III to live up to those standards.

Arcania: Gothic 4 Review
Did Spellbound Improve the Series with Arcania: Gothic 4 for PC? While Arcania: Gothic 4 for PC may be the first game that Spellbound had their hands in creating and it was meant to signify a fresh beginning for the series, there’s really nothing new or special about it. It is obvious that Spellbound tried …
Cities in Motion Review
Being stuck in a traffic jam is no person’s idea of fun, although inevitably, it is an issue that so many of us have been forced to contend with during the course of our lifetime. Truly, there is nothing quite so galling or demoralising in this world than to be forced into a traffic jam …
The Whispered World Review
Point and click adventure game The Whispered World is sure to establish something of a love hate relationship with you within its first few minutes. You will love the interesting and engaging story, but hate the dialogue that has been very poorly translated from the original German at times. You will love the memorable characters, …
DiRT 2 Review
The days of arcade racing, where the brake button was to be avoided at all costs and taking your finger from the accelerator for a split second could mean defeat, seem to have faded into the distant past. Today driving games seem to encroach more into the realm of driving simulations, with photo-realistic graphics and …
Football Manager 2010 Review
Introducing a new game into a football manager series is a fine art. The game must offer enough change to be worth an upgrade for those familiar with the series, and it must maintain enough complexity to be interesting to them. But likewise it needs to be simple enough to embrace newcomers to allow them …
Worms Reloaded PC Review
For people who are computer nerds, it is impossible for them not to be informed about games that are new in the industry and available in their PCs. They spend a lot of time going through different games available. Worms is one of those games established in the field of video games. The revival of …
StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty Review
StarCraft Wings is an old game that was released in 1998. Despite the fact that it has been on the market for so long, it is surprising that it has managed to retain the loyalty of its customers. In most cases, games only last for a short while and then clients get bored with them …
APB PC Game Review
Are you a creative type who craves the occasional adrenalin rush? If so, then APB (All Points Bulletin) may be the game for you. Excitement comes from a near frenzy of driving in streets jam-packed with cars trying to dodge and run at the same time. The close simulation of open urban car chases and …
