All reviewsTotal War: Rome II2013
3 out of 5 starsLet me preface this review by stating that I was supremely hyped for Total War: Rome II. Rome: Total War is pretty much one of my favourite games and so I had very high expectations for the sequel. Hype can be a cruel mistress, as it is very hard to match. I think it is important for you to know the high esteem in which I hold the Total War games as that has tempered this review. Let's start with what's good: this…
Shadow Complex2009
5 out of 5 starsI'll say it from the outset. Shadow Complex is the best and most value for money game on the Xbox Live Marketplace. This is not to say that it is the perfect game, it is certainly flawed, but you'll get as much fun, time and replay value out of it as you would any decent full priced disc game. You play the role of Jason, an ordinary man out on a date with his newly met girlfriend Claire. Your fun filled cave…
Call of Duty: World at War2008
4 out of 5 starsCall of Duty: World at War thrusts players back into the familiar setting of WWII, although shifts some of the action from the familiar European theatre over to the Pacific. World at War has received some undeserved criticism right off the bat, simply because of its more successful older cousin. While it might be easy to write off World at War simply as another World War II game, it should be judged on its own…
Age of Empires1997
5 out of 5 starsAge of Empires for the PC took the RTS genre to an entirely new plane. For many gamers, the game came packaged along with Windows 98 and Microsoft Soccer. While the latter game was uninspiring and lacklustre, Age of Empires introduced many gamers to the RTS world, particularly historical strategy. Boasting a variety of ancient factions, the game featured a good balance and counter balance system, with each unit…

Jul 8, 2013
I'm a teacher in Australia currently in the 2nd week of the two week school holidays. My wife had a day in at work today, so my plans were to get some marking done, play some video games and just relax. That changed when I woke up and logged into Facebook. The Giantbomb page had a link to what seemed unbelievable news. The website wouldn't load. Twitter was abuzz confirming the news. You hear a...
The Grammar Police: Lesson One. There, they're and their.
Feb 26, 2010
Hello all, Now I am aware that this is the internet, and people do not come here to Giantbomb to be lectured on correct sentence structure and grammar. Indeed people often intentionally type incorrectly on the internet as a way to kick back and as a means of convenience (e.g u r lame). However it is disheartening to see people make simple mistakes that I am certain carries over to their actual...
F'ing Epic (Spoilers)
Jan 4, 2010
Just reaffirming Dragon Age: Origins as my game of the year. And that is the Xbox 360 version! Just finished it not 5 minutes ago and WOW. I actually enjoyed the ending and the way it presented text with images so that it could reflect on how you personally affected the world. Looking forward to a second playthrough to do things differently. That final battle was crazy. A dragon is enough, but...
Mini Heart Attack
Jul 11, 2009
So I have recently gotten the internet set up at my new house and, being excited by this, have poured some time back into Xbox Live. Having just picked up CoD4 (I had previously finished the single player but never had a chance to get into the multiplayer) I have been pouring a few hours into playing it. A couple of months ago, my 360 had an E74 error about halfway into our two week school holi...
