Ok so before I go on I have a confession to make, back last year I was going quite mad over the release of Prototype. I was genuinely excited about the game and the sand box possibilities that the game had. I really couldn’t wait to play it. But as I was skint uni student at the time and then people saying it wasn’t that great. I never got to play Prototype and still haven’t to this day. I Know it [...]
I can have quite high expectations when it comes to games, and Sandbox titles are one of the genres which I find hardest to be satisfied with. While most of my favourite elements within them have been done before, I often find that most sandbox titles will contain some of the elements that I enjoy, yet fail to meet my expectations elsewhere. Perhaps this is simply a matter of developers allocating their priorities to one area over another, or maybe they just think [...]
Games games games! Now that uni has now finished that is one of the main things on my mind. One of the very few things i am passionate about in life at the moment. Maybe someday i will grow out of it? Seeing as i am my fathers son and he still plays halo with his work colleges on his lunch breaks i don’t see myself growing out of it.

Then there [...]
Prototype… Prototype… a game with a lot of potential. But, as I’ve experienced many times before, games with potential often go awry – its almost as if a concept is so good it cannot be shaped by mortals. But occasionally, we get the odd gem that just does it right. I’m on the fence about this one – I so badly *want* it to be good, but I fear it is something just too good to be true. The concept [...]
So we are now approaching summer and Q2 2009. With 3 quarters of this year still to come we are gonna have some great games. So if money was no subject (shame it is really.) These would be the games i would be getting. I present to you my wish list! OUT NOW: Ninja Blade: As i am a hack and slash nut this one will come to no surprise. After playing the demo. I was quite impressed with it. [...]
One of the games i have been following since the first trailers came out early last year is prototype. A game where you play as a guy who has no memory. He has just woken up in Newyork where an outbreak of a virus has broken out turning people into zombie like creatures. You yourself are hunted by the government ….
