God of War 3
What?!?! I only just started playing it now? Well, yes, I did. It's a long story but basically had the game sitting here but nothing to play it on. So anyway, my initial impressions are pretty good. Has the same feel the previous games did, but there are even more moves now. I particularly like being able to grab people with the blades at range [...]
Torchlight – Review
Believe it or not, I'm not big on RPG's and dungeon crawlers. As far as the later goes, Torchlight is actually my very first game like this that I have given a good go. So I'm not really fit to review this title from the standpoint of a fan of the genre, but I can still view it from an objective point of view. My first impressions with this [...]
Global Agenda – First Impressions
Having been told about this game from an old clan mate, I decided to give the trial a go. Everything I have read about it says the same thing: Great idea and game play, lack of content. So far I think I agree with it. Although the trial doesn't allow you to engage in AvA (Alliance vs Alliance, effectively clans fighting against each other for [...]
Crysis 2 – My thoughts (because they’re not worth more than 2 cents)
By now you've probably seen the tech demonstration and trailer for Crysis 2. If you haven't, go here. So, being a bit of a self-professed Crysis expert, here is my take on what I have seen so far. Firstly, I have some initial concerns about Crysis 2 being able to actually run on current generation consoles. Having played and seen how hard the [...]
Theres Never Been A Good ‘Racing’ Game
Wait just a sec, before you go nutso on me for this one, hear me out. I’ve been hooked on Forza Motorsport 3 for the last 6 months or so, invested around 70 Hours, made driver level 45 and own about 100 cars. So obviously I am comfortable in saying it’s a great driving game, perhaps the best I’ve ever played. But it’s not a racing [...]

Next Nintendo Handheld to be Unveiled at E3
Overnight Nintendo sent out a press release confirming the existance of their next generation handheld platform tentatively (and uninspiringly) named the 'Nintendo 3DS'. As usual, I'll go with joystiq.com to provide you the full story. While we anxiously await more information from Nintendo at this year's E3, we are pleased with the upfront [...]
My thoughts in Review
I had wanted to address this topic in a larger feature, but frankly that would be too much work in researching & articulating different points of view. Instead, I’ll just sum up my point of view and you can take it as you will. I often stumble across this conversation while trawling the internets for interesting games commentary; This [...]
Talkin’ About My Generation
It’s not uncommon among my various friend circles these days to find comments decrying the state of modern games. ‘Games were better when x’ the debate inevitably comes down to, whether that means games use to be harder, more complex, prioritising mechanics & system’s over graphics etc. It’s a view I’m not completely [...]
Xbox360 to get USB Memory Support
Check out a the story being run out of Joystiq.com, apparently Microsoft have finally woken up to the reality that 512MB sticks just won't cut it anymore. But even better, this seems the first step toward opening up the platform if just a little to third party peripherals. Discussed in the report is the suspected ability to transfer whole [...]
