| | Ghost Recon Future Soldier Multiplayer Beta Impressions – I believe in ghosts | 
Darryn Bonthuys - April 24th, 2012 | Ghost Recon and the Future Soldier brand has always been a beloved and iconic part of the Tom Clancy gaming universe. Gamers have been starved in recent years though of any new title in the world of near-future warfare, due to Ubisoft being unsatisfied with the then current product, and taking the game back to the drawing boards.
But has the wait been worth it then? Oh yes, yes it has ... [»] |

| Binned – Starcraft Ghost | 
Darryn Bonthuys - April 23rd, 2012 |
Exploring a different path in an established gaming franchise has always been a welcome part in the history of video games. Command and Conquer Renegade, Warhammer 40 000 Space Marine and Mortal Kombat Special Forces Shaolin Monks are just a few examples of exploring an alternate route in an existing library of titles, something that Blizzard attempted to do with Starcraft Ghost.

| Dungeon Hunter: Alliance review (PSVita) – There is more than one cave! | 
James Lenoir - April 23rd, 2012 | It was a dark and stormy night...
The ferocious southeaster was howling up a storm and pummelling the windows in their panes. Nevertheless, nestled under a warm duvet, and basking in the ambient glow from the PS Vita's 13cm OLED screen, I continued my epic journey. I delved deeper into the dungeon and battled horde after horde of ... [»] |

| Snuggle up to this amazing Mario blanket | 
Geoffrey Tim - April 23rd, 2012 | Last week, Abigail Holden - who reviews the sort of stuff for us that generally make me fall asleep before I’ve finished reading the back cover. For that alone, she’s awesome - but she recently elevated her awesome status by several levels when she posted a picture of her crafty handiwork on Twitter last week - a magnificent, pixel perfect Mario blanket. The result of two years of knitting ... [»] |

| Sine Mora Review – Hungary like the wolf | 
Darryn Bonthuys - April 20th, 2012 | When it comes to niche gaming, you don’t get any genre of gaming more dedicated to a single style of gameplay than the venerable shmups of years gone by. Sine Mora continues this veteran tradition with some bold design choices and new twists on familiar gameplay mechanics, but can this homage to the past kickstart the genre again, ... [»] |

| Lazygamer TV – Top Five Japanese RPGs, plus stand a chance to win Pandora’s Tower! | 
Darryn Bonthuys - April 19th, 2012 | We’ve all grown up having played a Japanese RPG at one point in our lives, whether it was classic titles such as Final Fantasy, before it went all cuckoo for more action, or we hit hard with a Shining Force.
Those games may not be industry giants anymore, but that doesn’t mean that gamers are sick of outlandish monsters and massive hair. We take a look at five such games today on Lazygamer TV, ... [»] |

| Birds of Steel Review – Biggles flies undone | 
Darryn Bonthuys - April 18th, 2012 | Aerial dogfights and midair bombing runs isn’t exactly a genre that is thriving right now on consoles, thanks to titles that consist of fancy terrorist-shooting, while slick and polished racing games whizz by.
But can Birds of Steel bring some jolly whiz-bang scraps back to the table, or is it headed for a realistic crash-landing in enemy territory?It doesn’t get more vintage than this particular ... [»] |

| Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City review – Dread Rising | 
Geoffrey Tim - April 16th, 2012 | What would happen if you took Resident Evil, and put it in a blender with a tactical third-person shooter like SOCOM?
I’m not really sure, but I’d certainly hope it would be better than Resident Evil: Operation Racoon city, from Slant six Games and Capcom, a hypothetical look at scenario that unfolds between survival horror classics Resident Evil 2 and 3.In it, you’ll play as one of the members of USS ... [»] |

Darryn Bonthuys - April 12th, 2012 |
We’ve all grown up on various games, titles that shaped our tastes and passions, into the gamers that we are today. Of course, not everything ages too well as the years roll by, and that’s why the game industry is only happy to re-imagine those classic titles with a coat of reboot paint.
Some are great, some are painful reminders. And that’s what we’ve done today, as we take a look at the ... [»] |

| Catherine Review – Sheep Thrills | 
Darryn Bonthuys - April 10th, 2012 | Launched almost a year ago everywhere else, Catherine was a unique-looking title with sadly no distribution presence here in sunny ol’ SA. That all changed this year when it finally made its way to our shore, as the tale of love, infidelity and talking sheep eventually released.
But is Catherine worth the wait, or should we be cheating on it with some other games?Braving new waters with this original title, Catherine tells the strange tale of Vincent,a 32 year old slacker ... [»] |

If there’s one thing that we love in games today, it’s the freedom that gets handed to us, a chance to explore and interact with a massive world of possibilities. Even though doing this is equal to giving a toddler a nuclear missile launcher to play with, it’s still a fantastic experience at the end of the day.
With so many open world games on the market today, we took a look at ... [»] |

| Lumines Electronic Symphony review – Block Droppin’ Beats | 
Geoffrey Tim - April 4th, 2012 | Though it’s available on just about everything that plays games, Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Lumines really belongs on Sony’s handhelds. One of the PSP’s very best launch titles, it’s a game that’s so good it’s been pretty much permanently wedged in my PSP.
It’s sequel’s also one of the launch titles for Sony’s Vita - and history’s repeated itself, because it’s pretty much indispensible.For the ... [»] |
