Mirror's Edge is a first person action-adventure game developed by DICE. The game takes place in an unnamed city where a totalitarian regime monitors its citizens through surveillance, tracking all forms of communication in a bid to reduce crime and prevent any growing rebellions. You play as Faith, a parkour-style runner, who uses the rooftops and other methods to deliver messages among revolutionary groups in the…
BioShock is a stunning first-person shooter from 2K Games on the surface, but it's so much more when you dig deeper into the game. It is the tale of one man's elusive fantasy which, in turn becomes a secluded city's worst nightmare. The game begins with a plane crash-- your plane crash-- and your the only survivor among the wreckage. As you float in the sea of the Atlantic you notice a lighthouse is your only hope…

After the enormous commercial success of previous Zelda games, it was only a matter of time before a Zelda game would be developed for Nintendo's DS. The result is a unique and immersive game that will tingle your gaming senses. While The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass may seem like the same old Zelda game, there is something refreshing about the game that ultimately reinvigorates the series in a brilliant way.…

There is no doubt that Evolution Studios has crafted one of the most visually appealing experiences that PS3 owners will enjoy since the system's launch. The game features persistent terrain details: tyres ripping through mud will leave dents and ribs that will remain for the duration of the race, while the collision of vehicles will leave scattered debris. The game truly is a graphical array of photographic…
The Total War franchise has always been one of large scale battles with hundreds on soldiers battling for their lives. Medieval 2 is no different to these past Total War games. It also offers so much more. The campaign of the game is where you will get the most gameplay out of. Not only is it packed full of stuff to do, but it combines turn-based strategy with epic 3D battles that the franchise has made its own. It…
Screams of soldiers' broken spirits whittle the battlefield… arrows pierce through the skies above and hitting with deadly accuracy. Cavalry ploughs through your broken lines of soldiers. This is Total War and it's never been so much fun. Creative Assembly is back with another Total War game that focuses on the trails and tribulations of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, and this game is perhaps their best…
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe throws you into the shoes... or leggings of Spider-Man in this far-fetched adventure.

While you journey through each level, you will encounter enemies called Phantoms who vary…
Koei's Warriors Orochi is a combination of the Dynasty Warrior and Samurai Warriors franchise. While the game may seem like a fresh idea, it is left with the same characters you will find in both games and the same repetitive gameplay you would come to expect from both games. There are four different campaigns: Shu, Wu, Wei and a campaign revolving around the Samurai Warriors portion. The storylines are all vary,…
When Capcom's Lost Planet hit the shelves, I was one of the first to buy it. While I was not disappointed with its pretty graphics and abundance of aliens to kill, its tangled and uninteresting story makes it a pretty mediocre game. h are in essence mechanised suits that your character can climb into and dish out a whole load of firepower in the form of chain-guns to devastating grenade launchers. These suits are an…
Infinity Ward has finished with the World War II era and has finally embraced a modern twist. The game brings the superb gameplay of past Call of Duty games and throws in a crazy blend of more technologically advanced weaponry and a new refined story to match-- and it works extremely well. Call of Duty 4 has one of the most interesting singe-player campaigns in a FPS. The single-player will put you in the shoes of a…
