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 ... [»]
Gamers just weren’t enamoured by Final Fantasy XIII. Sure, it had just about the most interesting battle system we’ve seen in a JRPG in ages, but its linearity bored many to tears. Final Fantasy XIII-2, according to its creators, is meant to fix the many issues that plagued its predecessor. We’ve had a go at the demo, available on Xbox Live and PSN.

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 ... [»]
By James Lenoir, Esquire By the time most of you are reading this, you're probably anxiously sitting at work, desperate for the day to be over so that you can rush home, switch on your PC, PS3 or Xbox 360 and dive nose deep into the Battlefield 3 beta. I know that feeling very well. However, just to whet your appetites, here are my first impressions of the ... [»]
On Sunday I was sitting on my couch with a beer watching the Grand Prix and complaining to my brother-in-law about how badly Hamilton was driving and how could he not see Kobayashi before taking himself out of the race.
Obviously I could do better and I really wish I had been given the chance… then not 2 days later F1 2011 lands on my door and it’s my turn ... [»]
The original The Darkness was an addictive FPS that managed to combine standard mechanics with an emphasis on light and dark, as players used the supernatural force that was bound to them to tear their way through the criminal underworld. Now ... [»]
Later this year, Battlefield 3 and its counter-part in Modern Warfare 3 will largely fill our quota of serious combat shooters. We’ve seen a fair resurgence in more arcadey shooters well, with the fairly successful Bulletstorm, a new Serious Sam and PC exclusive Hard Reset coming later this year.None of them though, bring the weapon priority, that awesome heavy-hitting feeling of firing a gun from last generation’s fantastic “Black†that ...

Might and Magic, the RPG series from now defunct New World Computing hasn’t seen a release since 2002’s Might and Magic IX, but its more tactical spin-off, Heroes of Might and Magic has flourished, adopting a rather loyal, rabid band of followers.
Ubisoft now holds the rights, publishing the last game in the series; the Nival Interactive developed Heroes of Might V in 2006. It’s been a long wait, but ... [»]
The Call of Juarez games were pretty good Western games; a genre that until relatively recently was underrepresented. Call of Juarez and its sequel, Bound in Blood have gone on to attain niche, cult following – which makes developer Techland’s decision to fast-forward the series to a modern setting rather unusual. More unusual is the fact that it looks and plays nothing like ... [»]
I used to play a fair bit of Magic: The Gathering, Wizards of the Coast’s seminal trading card game in my youth – but stopped, probably because I’d discovered the joys of tapping ass over tapping mana. We recently got our hands on one of the intro packs to the new Magic ... [»]
Who didn’t love the first Darksiders game when it was released last year? It was fun, fresh, looked great and played even better. Open stages that mixed combat and challenging level puzzles, the only downside to the game was the rather grumpy protagonist, War who had as much ... [»]
With fighters like Felice Hrrig, Dante Algearey, Jensa Pulver and Jerome LeBanner who wouldn’t be excited for Supremacy MMA? You have no idea who I am talking about, do you? Don’t worry, neither did I until I did a bit of a background check and apparently these guys and gals (yes, I said gals) can throw a punch or two. Hit the ... [»]
Out of all the reviews, previews and interviews I have written at this years E3, none of them have been anywhere near the challenge of the one I am about to write.The reason for this is simple. The game has built up a bit of a reputation, it is one of the most anticipated first person shooters of all time (incidentally known ... [»]
To tell you the truth, FIFA and I aren't the best of friends. From the first time I picked up FIFA 9 I just haven't seen eye to eye with EA Sports. But don't get me wrong, it isn't because I am not into soccer, quite the contrary. I am a huge Chelsea fan and I never miss a game. So why ... [»]
Rugby 2011 has been one of the most talked about sports titles since developer 505 Games announced its existence earlier this year. From bars to brothels, fans have been in heated discussions on what the game could be if developer HB Studioss only listened to what they had to say.6 months later and 505 have given a few specially selected media ...
