There is only a select few sandbox games that have hit a mark with me. Grand theft auto (obviously) and Crackdown. Things like Saints Row and true crime haven’t really done it for me. Ok I admit I haven’t played enough Infamouse to justify saying its a worthy sandbox title so I’ll just leave that one on the fence with prototype for now. Yesterday I got my gaming mitts on Just Cause 2. I had seen a trailer on this [...]
The Transformers franchise played a huge part in my childhood. I was one of those random children who had all the toys and who tried to recreate the transforming noise with strange verbal noises. I am one of those geeks who own the original Transformers animated movie on DVD. So yeah robots who can transform into vehicles, equals awesome! Even though I like the new movies and love the original animated series, the games really haven’t done it for me [...]
Being an avid Final Fantasy fan, I picked up Final Fantasy XIII on release day. I of course intend to review the title – but it’s going to be a fair while until I’ve seen everything. Therefore – I bring to you my Final Fantasy XIII review – so far! In case you’re wondering – I’m up to Chapter 7, Part 4, with just over 16 hours clocked up. Be warned – it’s not all good news. The title tells [...]
My love of TelltaleGames has been repeatedly well documented. From their origins in reviving the Sam and Max series from Lucasarts Games after the cancellation of Full Throttle 2 and Sam and Max: Freelance Police, they have since gone on to thrive. Between new series of Sam and Max, episode game series such as Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People (based off the popular Homestar Runner series), Wallace and Gromit, and last year’s phenomenal Tales of Monkey Island, Telltale [...]
As FPS games go I have had my fair slice of Deus Ex. The first installment I plated on the PC and invisible war I played on the original X Box. I loved invisible war, most gamers out there didn’t take a shine to it as much as I did but I thought it was a well put together game that could keep me entertained for a fair old while. Now seven years later. The third installment in the Deus [...]
Mark Boss hits the Oxford Street HMV for the launch of one of the biggest games of the year. On his own and midly ill he tours the queue armed with only a Microphone (named Susan) and his camcorder. This actually turned out to be one of my favourite event coverages so far, and a great start to the year. HUGE thanks to all those in the queue that doubled as my camera person. That includes you Pete! Uber cool [...]
Welcome back to Chernobyl Comrade… *somewhere over the Ukraine* I sat back and drank the last of my brand of El president Rum. Leaving Tropico was hard. The beach, the sun, the women… I leaned over to where Garv was playing on his DS. “How-much longer until we’re in London?” I slurred. “Uhhh, yeah, about that…” he said, putting Professor Leighton down. “You’re not going to London Beanie, you’re ah, no longer recognised as a UK citizen. Sorry…” “Bwuh!? But, [...]

As you already know, Portal is one of those Xbox Live Arcade games that will never ever be wiped off my Xbox Hardrive. Even though the game itself isn’t that huge. The whole idea, game play and the very story telling is fantastic and something I have never come across before or since the games release. So who can imagine my epic excitement when I heard about portal 2′s conformation yesterday. The beautiful people at Game Informer magazine gave us [...]
