| The Settlers Online Beta Preview – Evony and Ivory | 
Abigail Holden - January 24th, 2012 | The Settlers series consists of seven titles, the latest of which was apparently plagued with DRM issues. Generally a pretty good city builder with a bit of combat and some hero units (with rather woeful voice acting), The Settlers has now moved into the realm of online browser based games. I’ve played The Settlers 5 and 6, as well as many other city building games over the years, but I’ve ... [»] |

| Hands on with the final Fantasy XIII-2 demo | 
Garth Holden - January 13th, 2012 | Gamers just weren’t enamoured by Final Fantasy XIII.

| Rayman Origins extended hands-on preview – Back to bouncy basics | 
Geoffrey Tim - October 28th, 2011 | Most current gamers probably only know Ubisoft’s Rayman from the game that spawned those annoying, but delightfully charming Raving Rabbids. It’s been 16 years since the disembodied Rayman first charmed PlayStation 1 gamers, and 8 years since his last bona-fide platform game. Well he’s back, and he looks better than ever.
I’ve been terribly excited about the game since this ... [»] |

Darryn Bonthuys - September 9th, 2011 | Last year, RPG fans got their hands on the latest Final Fantasy, a gorgeous looking game with quite a few gameplay issues. While the foundation was solid, the more action focused battle system just never took off in the manner in which it had been envisioned.

| Exclusive Final Fantasy XIII-2 Screenshots | 
Geoffrey Tim - August 22nd, 2011 | Say what you will, but Final Fantasy XIII was too damned linear. Thanks to what Square calls a “story-driven†progression, Final Fantasy XIII was a good game with an excellent battle system, instead of a great game. The game’s director and scenario designer, Motomu Toriyama admits that, and has ensured gamers that its direct sequel, 2012’s Final ... [»] |
