| What starts with War, ends with Death in the new Darksiders 2 trailer | 
Darryn Bonthuys - December 13th, 2011 | 2010 saw the debut of one my very favourite new games, Darksiders. It was if the Legend of Zelda had gone out with the God of War franchise, got unbelievably drunk, and then woke up the following morning with a crippling hangover and a bad case of morning sickness.
In short, the bastard child of all the great action adventure and dungeon crawling ... [»] |

| Puss in Boots review – A fine family-friendly furrytail | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 12th, 2011 | There’s an unwritten rule in game development; if you’re tasked with creating a game that’s tied to a blockbuster movie - particularly a movie aimed at younger audiences - you have to go out of your way to make a game that’s dull, lazy and only loosely tied to your source material. It’s been that way since ET for the Atari 2600, largely ... [»] |

| Saints Row 3 Review – Third time’s the charm | 
Darryn Bonthuys - November 22nd, 2011 | The Saints Row franchise, despite its multiple differences and gaudy exterior, has always been dogged by GTA clone accusations and criticism that it doesn’t truly innovate the sandbox genre that it sets its madcap antics in.
With a third game released now, the time to boldly go into a signature direction is now or never, but can the gangstars of the Saints Row universe ... [»] |

| Embrace the crazy with Saint’s Row The Third’s launch trailer | 
Geoffrey Tim - November 15th, 2011 | It gets released in the US today, but the rest of us have to wait until Friday to enjoy just about the craziest, open world game ever conceived; Saint’s Row The Third. While the recent GTA V announcement trailer’s gotten gamers in a frenzy, it’s Saint’s Row and its irreverence where I’ll be getting my sandbox kicks.

| Saints Row 3 is the “comic book” of open world games | 
Darryn Bonthuys - November 2nd, 2011 | Saints Row the third is almost upon us, and the title looks like a mountain of crazy, ultra-violent fun, with nary a sombre theme to be seen in its narrative so far. Its this very disregard for anything serious that has made the franchise so popular, with THQ Core Games boss Danny Bilson explaining that the market is ripe for an open-world genre ... [»] |

| You’ll get to play as a psychotic midget in the next Darkness game | 
Darryn Bonthuys - October 12th, 2011 | If there’s one thing most people remember about the first Darkness game, its that main character Jackie Estacado was often accompanied by several of his darkness-spawned minions. Players could use them in various ways throughout that game, and they were a lively bunch of insane murderers.
With the sequel due next year, players once again play as Estacado, but this time, we’re going to ... [»] |

| THQ appoints Crytek to develop Homefront sequel | 
Darryn Bonthuys - September 21st, 2011 | When it was released earlier this year, Homefront didn’t exactly set the review charts on fire. Despite the Red Dawn inspired setting and compelling storyline, the game was a criminally short experience with only an average multiplayer component to keep gamers interested. However, gamers still bought a few million copies of the title, meaning that sales were promising, and THQ has decided to keep the franchise alive by transferring development over to Crytek ...

| You got a little TRON in my Saints Row |

This one focuses on The Deckers - a group of cyber criminals and just one of the factions vying for control of the game’s fictional Steelport setting. The group is run by Matt ... [»] |

| Metro Last Light extensive gameplay video | 
Geoffrey Tim - August 23rd, 2011 | Metro 2033, set in a post-apocalyptic Moscow, is an oddly atmospheric blend of survival horror with first person shooter that despite some glaring flaws is an excellent game. It’s getting a sequel in Metro: Last Light - which looks to fix up all the problems of the first game, giving gamers a visceral FPS with RPG storytelling and survival horror scares.
Darryn had a look at it at Gamescom, and now ... [»] |

Geoffrey Tim - August 15th, 2011 | Though I’ve not watched professional wrestling since the mid-nineties, back when it was cool, I admittedly love wrestling games - a sort of guilty gaming pleasure. The series gets a reboot this year, dropping the Smackdown vs Raw title its carried for over a decade and featuring a whole new engine. Now simply called WWE ‘12, THQ’s next wrestling game comes with better, more realistic animations and the ability to interrupt and transition moves.Over the weekend, THQ revealed most of the ...
