Contributed by CJ There are those folks who fight for their console of choice as if such a machine is family member, 360 vs PS3 becomes some kind of wobbly gaming Montague’s Vs Capulets, with Bill Shakey’s sparkling prose replaced with the likes of ‘ZOMFG [thing] am teh sux’. I’m not arsed about any of that, and frankly couldn’t give a monkeys as to which box under the telly is kicking out the prettifuls, it’s all about the games. All [...]

At Mama and Son’s cleaning and demolition services, this veteran duo frequently has to deal with robot animal alien invasions and in Alien Chaos 3D, it looks like this workday has just begun. This was the first game of it’s kind that I have played on the 3DS and so I was interested in seeing [...]

Unfortunately, Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel is not that game. It begins by introducing the two new protagonists: [...]

Lets start at the end 10/10. Amazing. Done. Sorted. Finished. As one of the most talked about games of the year so far it seemed a bit useless to play coy on this one, so I thought it was better to just cut to the chase. I loved Bioshock Infinite to the extent where I simply did not want it to end. As much as this summarizes my feelings about the game surprisingly well however, it does not seem fitting to [...]
