Once upon a time, I was a hardcore FPS gamer. I literally played nothing else. I gamed at crazy hours so I could get a killer dial-up connection and catch the busy times when the rest of the world was gaming. It was a sickness that lasted for a significant chunk of my pre- and early teen years, only concluding when I finally got off my butt and pursued the female species. When you spend so ... more.

Whether it was watching Ripley mow down hordes of the vile extra-terrestrials, or Arnie and his gang hunted by the cloaked Predator, most of us are more than familiar with the Alien and Predator franchises. In addition to the movies, there have been a number of game adaptations over the years that brought the Aliens and Predators together, in a spin-off storyline loosely connecting them all. ... more.

The work of Dante Alighieri, his epic poem, The Divine Comedy has seen many adaptations and loosely based story re-workings over the years. None however, have ever really tried to accurately portray the raw and offensive nature of Hell in a video game. Visceral Games have pushed the boundaries of both the classic literature as well as its mature rating. While there are definitely additional act... more.

White Knight Chronicles follows the story of a young winery-shop apprentice named Leonard and his silent, but handsome side-kick, (insert name here) on their way to rescue the kidnapped Princess. Despite being a Princess, Cisna hasn’t exactly had the ideal life she’d always wanted. When she was roughly eight years old, Cisna witnessed a tragedy that left her scarred for life and turned her int... more.

2010's release schedule has begun with a classic Heaven vs Hell title. Almost embarrassingly, I have to admit that up until a few weeks ago, I hadn't even heard of Darksiders. Checking out a few pictures and reading a couple of preview pieces though and I knew I'd have to at least give this one a look. This fantasy subject matter has always been appealing to me. A big part of my obsession with ... more.

The Saboteur is the last in the line of Pandemic Studios' gaming catalogue, having been closed and largely swallowed up by Electronic Arts. Its sandbox environment, World War II themed, third person genre promises to deliver a successful swan song for Pandemic, just in time for the holiday season. Check out our gallery for The Saboteur. Story An Irish man by the name of Sean Devlin (loose... more.

About a month ago, EA Sports announced that they were going to continue their lineup of sports arcade titles with Madden NFL Arcade. While many people expected this title to feature over-the-top hits like its NHL counterpart, Tiburon went with base tackling animations that you may find in its regular Madden title. However, the lack of crazy hits doesn’t take away from the arcade feel that Madden... more.

The original Assassin's Creed offered up a huge promotional freight train of promises - and while the final product certainly opened our eyes as to what next-gen could be about, it absolutely fell short in the game play department. The action mechanics, the whole concept of assassinations and 'disappearing' into crowds of civilians were well done. The graphics and massive open-world environment im... more.

When Sony announced that they were going to release God of War and God of War II on a single Blu-ray disc, I was pretty excited. After all, the God of War franchise is without a doubt the greatest two releases for any series of games that made its debut on PlayStation 2. Making the franchise and series available to new adopters and owners of PlayStation 3’s only made perfect sense in the long ru... more.

Insomniac was with the PS3 from day one. If you owned a PS3, you pretty much had Resistance: Fall of Man, or Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction in your game collection. Tools of Destruction, or ToD as it quickly became known, is a standout title, even to this day. And if I'm honest, its absolutely my favourite outing for the Lombax and Robot duo. Numerous play-throughs later, you're left... more.

The signature theme song for Borderlands continuously claims that “there ain't no rest for the wicked,” but anybody who has stepped into Pandora will tell you that the good aren’t getting much rest either. A lot of gamers have a hard time classifying Borderlands due to its expansive formula of gameplay that offers not only a free roam philosophy, but a loot system, leveling system, first-per... more.
