4 out of 5 starsPublisher: SEGA (Known For: Sonic The Hedgehog, Football Manager Series) Developer: Sumo Digital (F1 2011, Hasbro Family Game Night) In the modern gaming landscape, it would be true to say that SEGA as a company is a mere shadow of its former self. The heady days of the 1990′s when sonic and SEGA could go toe to toe with Nintendo and their mustachioed front man in the console wars and come out with a respectable…
LittleBigPlanet Karting2012
2 out of 5 starsPublisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Developer: United Front Games The karting game is a niche, but fiercely competitive genre. Few developers turn their hand to it, but the ones that do have to be prepared to bring their A game. That big Mario shaped elephant in the room aside, the PS3 alone is home to a small but brilliant selection of kart racers. Encouragingly for Little Big Planet Karting, developer United…
Halo 42012
5 out of 5 starsDeveloper: 343 Industries Publisher: Microsoft Since Halo: Combat Evolved smashed its way into our consciousnesses back in 2001, the video game landscape, particularly in a first person capacity, is an almost unrecognisable place. Call Of Duty has sprouted up and has been happily running the show for around five years now, with the recent release of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 showing no signs that Activisions money…
XCOM: Enemy Unknown2012
4 out of 5 starsDeveloper: Firaxis Games (Known For: Civilization IV, Sid Meiers Pirates) Publisher: 2K Games (Known For: Borderlands 2, Bioshock) XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a game that will attract as many as it drives away. It’s difficult and very often brutally unforgiving. Missions going according to plan can be turned on their head in a matter of seconds, leaving a squad decimated and severely underprepared moving forward. XCOM is…

Yearly Iterations Of Video Games
Dec 7, 2012
They’ve now become a common staple of the video games industry, but are yearly iterations of franchises a good idea? Or do they stifle talent? I suppose the most obvious answer would be yes they do (though I don’t necessarily agree with this). Companies, probably most notably Activision stumble upon a good idea, or popular game, then churn out title after title until theres no market left. Just...
Top 10 PS3 Exclusives (As Of Summer 2011)
Dec 7, 2012
Looking at the list below, it quickly becomes clear that the Playstation 3 has a very strong catalogue of exclusives. A couple years back a big fuss made about the XBox 360 ensnaring the Final Fantasy and Metal Gear games, bringing them onto their console and ending the long run of exclusivity Sony had held over these titles on the home gaming market.
