Review God Of War III

The God of War series has provided some of the greatest video game highlights on Sony's platforms over the past number of years. I have played all entries in the series and while I have enjoyed them all until now the original has remained my favourite. For me the sequels and prequels failed to capitalise on the established greatness of the original outing, new features were added, generally the action was cranked up a notch but for the most part it felt like going through the motions with no rea...

Review: Final Fantasy XIII

One of the stand out quotes of Jedi Master Yoda was "fear leads to the dark side". He knew what he was talking about, fear has the power to corrupt and manipulate our thoughts and actions in many subtle and not so subtle ways, often in a highly negative way.

From the moment of purchase I have loved Eye of Judgment, the card reading mechanic utilising the Playstation Eye, while interesting,  served only as a...

Perhaps a further reason for my dislike is that lately a lot of my gaming time has been restricted to times ...

Heavy Rain Feature Review

Evolution pushes things forward, I take that as a given, however evolution takes many forms and not every type or step in that forward movement is exactly what I would term evolutionary or progressive. Take modern cinema, the recent release of James Cameron's Avatar has been hailed by many as a pivotal moment in the time line of motion cinema, a true step forward for the medium. While I can agree that technological advancements have resulted in things looking prettier and sure there are moments ...

Unboxing Mass Effect 2 & Dante’s Inferno Collectors Editions

Equipped with my shiny new Kodak Zi8 I thought a good way to start would be with some unboxing videos - YouTube compression has been applied but the videos should be available in 720p when YouTube is finished processing them... Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntBiLrzqOpU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5b6Hz1qXuA
