| | The Witcher 2 review – A medieval world full of monsters, smut and anachronistic speech | 
Garth Holden - April 25th, 2012 | Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings takes the player on a dark adventure into a world of politics, racism, conspiracy and regicide. A terrifying world where monsters have invaded from another sphere of reality and now lurk in the sewers and swamps. A world where graveyards need to be locked at night. Where the fat, corrupt guards of cities ignore the pleas of the peasants and citizens, someone needs to ... [»] |

| Wargame: European Escalation review – Bombed into oblivion. | 
Guest Writer - April 24th, 2012 | By Jonathan Bester Strategy fans must be jumping up and down for another entry into the RTS genre. Developed by Eugen Systems and Published by Focus Home Interactive, it bills itself as title built around depth and reflection. It is certainly a fresh take on the RTS genre as it investigates largely unexplored periods in human history; later sections of the Cold War, circa 1975-1985. The ... [»] |

| 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 ... [»] |

| 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, ... [»] |

| 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 ... [»] |

| MtG: Venser vs Koth – Koffing in smoke and mirrors | 
Garth Holden - April 13th, 2012 | In this ninth duel deck, we visit a time just before the true threat of Phrexia was made known on Mirrodin. Can Koth and Venser save the land of metal? Koth is the embodiment of rage. This geomancer uses the very mountains as weapons, moulding flame and magma into potent engines of wrath and passion. Venser, however, is calm, calculating, almost cold ... [»] |

Also, there will be WipEout and Ridge Racer. But does WipEout follow in the footsteps of Jim’s favourite racing game?In a word, no. In a few more: I am addicted to this game.WipEout 2048 does a fantastic job ... [»] |

| Confrontation review – Snorehammer | 
Guest Writer - April 12th, 2012 | by Alex Hempel Every now and then, you have to tackle a game that you either just can't warm up to, or don't know what to make of. Confrontation became such a case for me. While the genre and setting are entirely in my wheelhouse, the implementation just leaves a lot to be desired. Cyanide Studios, having previously worked ...

James Lenoir - April 11th, 2012 | Imagine my surprise, when I discovered that the current Asphalt game, Asphalt: Injection is the seventh iteration in a series developed by Gameloft and published by Ubisoft. I honestly had no idea. Apparently, I've been sailing on Mare Ignorantia, like an embryonic Luddite. If you've also never played an Asphalt game before: the games are evidently a fixture on iOS, Android ... [»] |

| 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 ... [»] |
