Lazygamer TV – The most overlooked games of 2011

 - January 27th, 2012
With the best of 2012 yet to come, and the worst of 2011 behind us, we thought that we’d take a look this week at those games which were largely ignored, quality titles that got lost in a sea of big budget releases and marketing campaigns. As an added bonus, BT Games has a spectacular Assassins Creed hamper to give away that includes the hard to find AC: Encyclopedia, a rare item that is not available ... [»]

The Lazygamer Awards 2011 – Best PC Exclusive

 - December 23rd, 2011
Yes, yes, we’ve all heard tales that the PC as a gaming platform is a almost at deaths door, ready to knock on it, but frankly, it seems such deathly rumours have been greatly exaggerated, with 2011 being a stellar year for PC exclusive games. We’ve seen a mix of mind-bending, explosive and unusual games make their way onto the venerable platform, but only one could ... [»]

We’ve seen numerous action-adventure games in 2011, with encouragingly brilliant production standards, gameplay and visuals. We’ve been all over the world, time and space, fighting evil and seeking justice, but in the end, only one game can be the winner in this genre.

Bioshock Infinite teaser gives us a mention

Bioshock Infinite was one of  handful of games from this year’s E3 that really blew me away; so much so that we awarded it two accolades – Best shooter, as well as Best of show. Tomorrow, on the US’ Spike TV, they’ll be airing a 30 minute special showing the entire E3 demo hosted by Geoff Keighly and Ken Levine himself. To whet ... [»]

BioShock 2 Reviewed : The Seaweed is Always Greener

The first BioShock was a masterpiece – a story expertly crafted, punctuated by the objectivist philosophies of Ayn Rand. Its twisted, tortured dystopian under-sea setting was unique and interesting, its art-deco visuals – although ruinous - rich and sumptuous, and above all, its narrative compelling.Many gamers ...

Need for Speed, like morally questionable women, has seen a fall from grace in the past few years.
