Batman’s Arkham Adventures
When Rocksteady released the original Batman: Arkham Asylum they finally nailed something that game developers had been trying and failing to do for years – they produced a super hero game with high production values, a real respect for the source material and a blend of superb artwork and addictive gameplay. It was easily the […]

Cars 2: The Videogame Review
In an attempt to get some PS3 time in the face of a Dragon Age addicted wife and a two year-old son who’s either watching Spongebob Squarepants on Netflix or another Pixar Blu-ray I got Cars 2: The Videogame.

Bloody Good Time
So the last big “ish” game I worked on is hobbling towards release. Bloody Good Time is like a reworked version of The Ship with loads of differences and a b-movie backdrop. I left well before the end of development and I’m not going to talk about working on it, suffice to say I didn’t […]

What’s Wrong with PES 2011?
Before I launch into what is going to seem like a cruel attack on PES 2011 I have to explain I have been a hardcore fan of the series for the past few years and have always rated it more highly than FIFA. Even last year’s effort still retained that multiplayer fun, end to end, […]

Is Heavy Rain Most Depressing Game Ever?
I’ve started playing Heavy Rain, yes I realise I’m a bit late to the party but so many games, so little time, you know how it goes. My mate who gave me this game said it was really good, bit different, quick time event reaction ala Shenmue, well worth a go. So I finally got […]
