| | Angry Birds Seasons review – Green Pigs and Ham? | 
Abigail Holden - March 9th, 2012 | So you’ve heard people talk about this “Angry Birds” thing, but haven’t the faintest idea what they’re on about? Either you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of years, or you simply don’t own a touch screen device. Never fear, Angry Birds is available on PC as a standalone, not browser-bound title, ... [»] |

| F1 2011 (PSVita) Review – Press F1 for Help | 
James Lenoir - March 5th, 2012 | For the life of me, I can't shake the image of the PS Vita version of Codemaster's F1 2011 joining Dorothy and her gang of misfits on their journey to see the Wizard of Oz.
Where the Lion. Scarecrow and Tinman needed courage, a brain and a heart; F1 2011 desperately needed a soul.For instance, F1 2011 barely uses any of the Vita's functionality, and while you'd expect even the most basic attempts at utilising the ... [»] |

| Move Street Cricket Reviewed… unfortunately | 
Gavin Mannion - March 1st, 2012 | One of the benefits of being the boss is that I can pick and choose what games to review or not to review. Generally I steer clear of reviewing at all as it’s not something I actually enjoy that much.
However the unfortunate part of hiring two great writers like Geoff and ... [»] |

| Lazygamer TV – Asura’s Wrath Review – It’s just a flesh wound! | 
Darryn Bonthuys - February 29th, 2012 |
Asura’s Wrath is the debut title for famed CGI developer Cyber Connect 2, and it’s looking like a bold and unconventional take on a familiar genre. While the idea of an angry demigod seeking revenge may not be the most original concept out there, it’s the visual legacy that Asura carries into battle that is looking ... [»] |

| Alan Wake’s American Nightmare review – From Dusk Till Yawn | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 28th, 2012 | Though it may have had a few broken gameplay elements, if there’s any one thing that Remedy’s impressive survival horror Alan Wake did, it was tell a story - and tell it exceedingly well. The tale of the writer writing his own nightmare had been done before, but it works incredibly well in a videogame setting; providing intense psychological ... [»] |

| Alan Wake review – I pray the Lord my soul to take | 
Tauriq Moosa - February 27th, 2012 | ALAN WAKE’s arrived on PC finally, amidst howls of outrage and fist-shaking at both Remedy and Microsoft. Originally a broken promise, since the game was meant to be on both Xbox 360 and PC, Remedy has made amends by sprinkling petals of beauty to their original gift. All the positives from the Xbox version remain, but there are added bonuses – least of which being the two free DLC episodes – ... [»] |

| First Mass Effect 3 review is in, lots of details revealed | 
Gavin Mannion - February 27th, 2012 | German gaming magazine Gamestar apparently forgot to read their embargo properly and have scooped the planet by releasing the first Mass Effect 3 review a little early. So how did they rate possibly the last AAA title they’ll be given early access to?Well unfortunately it’s not that ... [»] |

| Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning review – Schrödinger’s RPG | 
Garth Holden - February 21st, 2012 | Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was supposed to be many things. A more mature Fable. An RPG with a superb combat system. A new dawn. Geoff's ultimate wet dream. The list goes on as long as the marketing hype of this title. But is it all that is was made out to be?
Yes, it achieved these things, in a sense. With a responsive combat ... [»] |

| Final Fantasy XIII-2 review – Help, there’s a Crux in my Paradox! | 
Garth Holden - February 10th, 2012 | Square Enix had a lot to answer for after Final Fantasy XIII. By making use of narrow maps to convey a sense of being fugitives on the run, the game removed the illusion of free choice. Many gamers didn’t like the ‘forced’ feeling of being on the run and instead pined for the open world maps of previous titles. (Even though in most cases the world map is just ... [»] |

| Mad Catz Soul Calibur V Soul Edition Fight Stick review – Stick it to me, baby. | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 6th, 2012 | Soul Calibur V got released last week - and it’s pretty damned good. It might have a laughable story, filled with the sort of stalwart clichés that permeate the genre - but you don’t buy fighting games for story. No, you buy them for the fighting - and there’s no better way to play a fighting game than with a good arcade fight stick. But you already know that.

| Soul Calibur V Review – The soul still burns | 
Darryn Bonthuys - February 3rd, 2012 | February may be the month where gaming finally puts a boot to the ass of gamer wallets, but if there is one genre that is leading the pack this year, it has to be the category of fisticuffs and pugilism.
First out of the fighting genre stables this year is Soul Calibur V, bringing with it some familiar mechanics and characters, but can the latest ... [»] |

From DS styluses (styli?) and chargers to controllers, gaming headsets and everything in between, their budget-minded range is nothing if not extensive.
