Say "Hello" to the real Wolverine. (X360)
  Yeah, that's gotta hurt... As developers continuously work on ways to advance games and the different ways to play them, the Beat-em-up genre is one that is surely dieing out. Western Beat-em-ups are practically unheard of nowadays with only a few frenzied Japanese style based Beat-em-ups surviving the genre, ...

Batman Beyond our expectations (X360)
This is just so manly. Srsly. We've all told stories, joked about and generally shunned the genre of video-games that is 'licensed material' at some point or another, so it would be difficult to blame you for having some doubts about Batman: Arkham Asylum. As well as that when Lego ...

Episode Two vs. Episode 1.5 (XBLM)
They wish they hadn't signed that four-game contract...Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode TwoAs far as sequels go in video games, it has become commonplace to label them unworthy of the publicity they arouse based on the lack of advancement. Put simply, if a game is too ...

This is why I'm a wimp... (X360)
I'm a coward. Seriously. I am such a coward. And games like these probably don't help. The weird thing is, I was a coward before I played scary games and the more I delved into it, I realised that the thing about them that scared me most was that they ...

Jumping the realm of fantasy... (X360)
Condemned 2: BloodshotXbox 360It takes a messed up mind to compare a game such as Condemned 2 to the classic feel good TV show Happy Days, but I think we'll get there. Happy Days was famous for being great, but infamous for an utterly ridiculous scene towards the end of ...

Bioshock or How I Overcame My Cynicism and Faced My Fears (X360)
Throughout my experiences of gaming, I've often wondered if our relatively new medium of (dare I say it incase of slander:) art could be getting too immersive. Half of the thrill of video games is of course immersing yourself within the world of some alternate persona and in the case ...

A niché extravaganza by no minimal means. (XBLM)
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode OneThere comes a time in every reviewers life where they must consider what difference their own taste makes. You could have the greatest skill in history when it comes to writing, and you could present opportunities for discussion for ...

One Man Army? (XBLM)
Playing Geometry Wars 2 made me wonder about the state of video games at the moment. All in all, it's fair to say that the seventh generation of video games has come out as one of the best yet, with retro titles flashing back and forth as if they're suddenly ...

Heresy and blasphemy! (PS3)
Prepare yourself: I will not be kind in this review, but I will be honest. As you've probably discerned from the star rating, I did not like this game, but I have my reasons. Well, reason. But I still find myself thinking it's a good reason. Maybe you'll agree, maybe ...

What would you call non-nostalgic nostalgia? (PS2)
I'm having difficulty summing up the main theme present within myself as I play Metal Gear Solid 3. With MGS, I'd call it an experience of pure stealth action. MGS2 reflects itself as an awakening of unrealistic reality. And although a big part of me wants to call Snake Eater ...

A triumphant return for Solid Snake. Or is it...? (PS2)
When Metal Gear Solid was released in 1998, critics and consumers lapped it up. They dug the new means of storytelling and grasped the intense new ways in which a story could be told. Characters were no longer two dimensional and there was a vast moral dilemma aspect introduced which ...
