So, I finished Deadlight about half an hour ago. Collecting myself, and trying not to let that end section cloud my judgement, I figured now is a good time to review. Act 1 takes around half an hour. In this time, you learn the game's mechanics, get seeped in the setting and atmosphere, and generally get your bearings on what is to come. It's a tutorial, if you will. Now, there are issues with this; one, there are a…
I felt I had to put that in the title, as it colours my review heavily; I spent the majority of this game in at least 2 player, with 4 players happening regularly, with a mix of players - my wife, 26, and a decent gamer; her 12 year old gamer cousin; his 10 year old mildly enthused sister; my 6 year old son; and, finally, at parts my 4 year old daughter. Both of my kids play a lot of Wii games, and know how to use…
Mothership Zeta abducts the player to the titular spaceship, chock full of hostile aliens and their robotic servants. For the next 3-10 hours (depending on how many times you have to reload to have not messed up the fetch quest achievement) you'll be running around both inside and outside, stopping the invasion of Earth by outside forces. Oh, and stealing all their cool tech. And meeting a samurai! They say "save…

Point Lookout takes you on a boat ride to the swampy Point Lookout in Maryland, an area full of cults, ghouls, Swampfolk and madmen. Along the way, you'll meet a Ghoul colonialist, lose a piece of your mind, have the best vision sequence in a game ever, and possibly even kill a brain in a jar. FUN TIMES! My favourite non-BS DLC by far, this is just an amazing journey from start to end. You get to battle cults,…
Broken Steel expands the plotline post-ending to open-end the game somewhat, taking in the obliteration of all the Enclave at the hands of the Brotherhood. Along the way, Prime gets surprised, you get to go UNDER Old Olney, and you gain possibly the most ridiculously overpowered gun ever - the Tesla Cannon... This is the motherlode DLC; the level cap's raised to 30, a new post-ending plotline is added, there's a…
Very much broken for a loooooooong ass time post-launch, The Pitt sees your very own Lone Wanderer wandering to Pittsburgh's remains, into a world of slavery and steel mills. But first, you have to get tricked into becoming a slave yourself, before a long ride down a railway, joining the other slaves, losing all your gear, Trog-slyaing - and even pit fighting. At the end of all, you must make a very hard moral…
Read the full review A History Of Slavery, post-apocalypse style.
The first DLC out of the gate, and looking back it's pretty obvious. After a quick bit of footslogging to find the actual quest line, you do some good ol'd mutie-killing before the real, actual content: a "simulation" (read: FPS game pastiche/homage) of the war in Anchorage against the Chinese. Success brings a great perk: the contents of a O:A-era storeroom full of items "acquired" during the war. This wasn't the…
Man I was looking forwards to Lovefilm sending this. It's all I heard about on podcasts and message boards at the time, while I was utterly skint. I eventually ended up playing Prototype instead, which was, well... not this. Turns out that was a BAD thing. For those not in the know, Red Faction: Guerrilla is the third game in the franchise, the previous two being PS2 FPS games. Made by the same people who have since…
Dear Sirs/Jade Raymond (well, she's the only woman in the industry, right?), I borrowed (not purchased; not stupid you know) a copy of your latest attempt to "put lipstick on a pig", Prince of Persia. At about halfway through (304/340 lightseeds, 2 powers unlocked), I feel that at this point it's a good idea to catalogue my experience in a feedback manner, so as you may consider my opinion for the inevitable next…
I am amazed this made it through testing. Honestly, I wasn't ready for this to be so... shambolic. So, so much is wrong with this, I'll have to section it all up. Issue 1: bugs! Now, my Fable 2 experience, compared to many other people, was pretty much bug-free. Not so this DLC. Opening the clothes/dyes menu now nigh-on crashes the game every time, I get terrible slowdown in any area that's populated by…
