Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad Review (Xbox 360)

Breast Game Ever! Onechanbara is one of the shallowest games I have ever played. Its name translates to ‘Big Sister Sword Fighting Movies’. It features scantily-clad sisters with zombie-blood absorbing…

The Legend is Real. Nostalgia Review of Mega Man Legends 2

Whereas Sonic made me start to love video games it was Mega Man who made me stay.  I don’t know what it was about Mega Man that made me love his games.  It could have been the game play, the challenging levels and boss battles, or the fact that he had a freaking CANNON FOR AN ARM!

Dante’s Inferno Review (PS3)

Dante’s Inferno Review (PS3)

My favourite parts of the God of War trilogy are the parts you travel through Hell to fight Hades. Dante’s Inferno is pretty much more of the same. Many people saw this as a generic hack n’ slash game, but I saw it as a standalone epic adventure deep into the bowels of Hell.

Haze Review (PS3)

Haze Review (PS3)

Free Radical, the creators of the amazing Timesplitters series, went into administration after this release. Haze was pitched to be the PS3s answer to Halo. The next big thing turned out to be all kinds of stupid. From the dumb AI to the bro-centric jock plot to the hour-long install time, this game just didn’t live up to its unfathomable expectation.

Crusty Demons Review (PS2)

Crusty Demons Review (PS2)

I’m not a huge fan of dirt biking, motocross or any kind of motorcycle sport. I bought Crusty Demons based on the title imagining a hack n’ slash, and in a way, that’s what I got…

Burnout Paradise Review (PS3)

Burnout Paradise Review (PS3)

Burnout 3: Takedown was my favourite racing game for years, the brutality of the takedowns and velocity of the racing filled me with so much adrenaline and the crash mode lead to hours of fun. How did Burnout Paradise stack up against its older brother?

Timesplitters: Future Perfect Review (PS2)

Timesplitters: Future Perfect Review (Ps2)

This game was my childhood, and due to the lack of an existing sequel, it has followed me into adulthood too. The Timesplitters series is not only my favourite FPS series but it’s also my favourite series, without a doubt.

Unreal Tournament III Review (PS3)

Unreal Tournament III Review (Ps3)

Gone are the days of fun and exciting shooters. The realistic military shooter is now the norm, and no matter how much they try to stand out, you always feel as if you’re playing the same game. Call of Medalfield: The Taken King has taken over the FPS genre, and I miss the days of gimmicks and quirky split-screen CTF modes.

Devil Kings/Sengoku Basara Review (PS2)

Devil Kings (Sengoku Basara) Review (Ps2)

Devil Kings is really fun. Fun as in it feels like you’re playing Dynasty Warriors, which is fun. This game is a shameless clone that fails to effectively copy its idol, but still comes out guns blazing – quite literally.

Split/Second: Velocity Review (PS3)

Split/Second Review (Ps3)

I’ve become addicted to this innovative, fast-paced and beautiful game. The intensity is in a whole different gear to other racing titles, and the variance of the levels is exhilarating. Split/Second is my ‘just let me finish this one level’ game.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Review (PS3)

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Review (PS3)

TES IV: Oblivion immersed me from the word go. So many years of my life have been spent roaming the lands of Cyrodil; in fact I consider it my home. I’ve never used games to escape the real world, but Oblivion made me question what the real world was, and why I had to turn on the real world at my Playstation.

Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance Review (Ps2)

Sometimes SEGA make great games – Sonic, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage. These days were over a long time ago and the latest additions to those franchises have all been commercial flops. What if I were to tell you that they weren’t over as long ago as you may think? There is definitely a case for this diamond in the rough…

Paddington Bear Review (Ps2)

Paddington Bear Review (Ps2)

Paddington Bear was a British TV series that aired between 1975 and 1986. Why then, was it released in video game form over 30 years later on a console that had just been succeeded? There isn’t much depth to this ‘game’, but I’ll do my best to put you off of it – I promise.

Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise Review (PS3)

A little while ago I gave the original Naughty Bear a 10/10 rating. This is the sequel and it’s even better. It’s gorier, it’s more creative and it’s been done so much better on such a larger and more exciting scale.

Deadly Strike Review (PS2)

Deadly Strike Review (Ps2)

This game is ugly. This game is slow. The textures in this game make you yearn for sudden blindness, or for you to spontaneously combust and never have to see them again. Deadly Strike leaves much to be desired, but I love it all the same.

Ride To Hell: Retribution Review (Ps3)

For a very long time, I bought games based on the box. Most of the time this paid off, and I’d end up really into games that were the most hidden of gems. Ride to Hell is the reason that I now look at reviews before I buy.

Neverdead Review (Ps3)

There are few things more awesome than the ability to not die. In most games you’d have to find cheats to assume such a god-like power, but not in Neverdead. The core gameplay mechanic is it’s biggest letdown, and that’s just the tip of the disappointment iceberg…
