All reviewsHybrid2012
4 out of 5 starsThe image of Hybrid is all wrong. That is to say it seems people's idea of what Hybrid is all about is wrong. I've heard many people dismiss it as another third person cover shooter with burly men in power armour, only this time you don't have direct control of your man as you can't leave cover. Well I suppose they're partially correct. It does feature men in power armour what with it being set in the future and…
Bellator: MMA Onslaught2012
3 out of 5 starsIn the process of writing this review I stopped for a moment and considered – has there been a definitive MMA game? The THQ UFC games are pretty good but nothing that I would consider “definitive”. The EA MMA game wasn't as good and the Supremacy MMA game definitely wasn't it. But the team behind Supremacy – Kung Fu Factory – get another bite of the ultra-violent apple with Bellator MMA Onslaught which this time is…
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II2010
4 out of 5 starsBack in the days of the original PlayStation, the one-on-one fighting genre was in steep decline. In 1997 Street Fighter III arguably marked the peak of the genre and from then on there was a visible shift to 3D graphics which led to the release of dross like Battle Arena Toshinden and Star Wars: Masters of Teras-Kasi. Even Street Fighter’s return in the form of the 3D EX series was poor at best and only the Tekken…
Dead or Alive: Dimensions2011
4 out of 5 starsDid you know that 2011 marks the 15th anniversary of Dead or Alive ? No, not the British band who sang “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” - they've been going since 1980. Not the Bon Jovi song either, that's from the 80's as well. I'm talking about Team Ninja's fighting game series which is probably more famous for it's bouncing buxom babes than the actual fighting. It debuted in 1996, and according to Wikipedia…

All articlesRetrospective - Robocop (Commodore Amiga)
Oct 19, 2010
This blog post was taken from my original article at All About The Games In 1987 Paul Verhoeven gave the world Robocop and it was good. A sci-fi action film now famed for its often imitated biting social and media commentary brought it above and beyond the normal 80’s blockbuster fodder. Not that Robocop skimped on the violence and gore of course, and for young me aged 8 at the time that was co...
The World of Minecraft
Oct 1, 2010
I originally wrote this for All About The Games. View the original article here A friend sent out a tweet today asking if anyone was playing Minecraft, and what she was missing. Limited to 140 characters I could only think one one response - "Yes. A lot. It's like digital crack on toast. Very moreish." To be honest that's a bit of an overblown response, especially since I've never tried crack -...
