Rise Of Prussia Review
Rise Of Prussia is the latest historical RTS to hit the PC. Allowing you to recreate famous campaigns from the European Seven Years' War, which was fought between 1756-1763. The game gives you ten Scenarios to play through, a huge map divided into over 1,000 regions and a great in depth command system. One hundred new leaders appear with the ability to use 300 units, so does this RTS manage to make you a part of history, or does it fall short?
In all there are ten campaigns to sink your teeth...

HellKid Review (App)

When I heard the name HellKid, I was expecting yet another God of War clone, that seem to be populating the online world as of late. It makes sense really, with God of War III coming up, the first thing we were likely to see were mini carbon copies of the game.
The thing is, a GoW clone on the iPhone would be doomed for fail … this one isn’t … because it isn’t a God of War clone. But the name suggests it! Anyway, nom this isn’t a God of War clone, it’s actually a neat little platf...

Back many moons ago, a new board game dawned on us here mortals. It was known as Hive, a relaxing, somewhat challenging and an extremely addictive game. For years, families have played this game together in its physical form, but now it can be known as iHive, as it has officially come to the iPhone.
Hive is very intellectual, which is a major decided point for many people. You don’t see many intellectual Apps, so this one is a nice change. I love nice changes, and it turns out that this App...

Making an FPS game for the iPhone is a risky thing to do, especially when you’re porting over a well-known and respected game such as Rise of the Triad. I was genuinely worried about playing this game because I honestly thought it would be terrible. Well, was it? No, it wasn’t terrible, but it isn’t God’s gift to man either.
Well we may as well do things backwards and start off on a good ole’ positive. The game is long. It stretches to over thirty levels, which is impressive in comp...
Calorie Tracker Pro Review (App)

One of the many reasons why I adore the App Store is the sheer diversity of the many Apps. Not many other online download destinations can offer such diversity, and still uphold the quality that is present in the App Store. Apple, somehow, have managed to do just that, and the results are very pleasing.
A pleasing App indeed is the one up for review today. This little gizmo is called Calorie Tracker Pro, and upholds both the quality and diversity spoken about earlier.
So who exactly is thi...

Heavy Rain is Quantic Dreams stab at a new genre in video gaming, the “Interactive Drama”. It’s a murder mystery with plenty of twists to capture the player, a sublime cast of characters, and a whole cinematic approach to everything. With more mature themes and moral choices to make in a normal everyday world where normal things happen. Asking the question “How far would you go to save someone you love.” But does it work? Oh hell yeah!
The story follows four main characters, develop...
Mass Effect 2 Review

I knew before I even played Mass Effect 2 that it would be great. I suppose it’s just one of those games. The last time I knew a game would be just downright top-notch before soiling the box with my dirty paws was Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. So, was I right in presuming this was going to be a great game?
The short answer is no, this game didn’t match my expectations. It delivered to my expectations and was a whole lot better than I ever could have imagined. Before I go any further, I shou...

Why is business so intense? Why do companies in industries such as the videogame industry have to flaunt their product and plaster all the positives across their promotional interface to make more sales? This is what Sony and Zipper have done with their console MMO. They’ve taken the absolute best situation, squeezed out all of the positives from this situation and left a mashed up piece of shrivelled matter behind which acts as the negatives. Never has a piece of matter such as this been so i...
King’s Bounty: Armored Princess Review

Posted January 3rd, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Despite trying to convince myself otherwise, I'm not much of a PC strategy game kind of guy. Sure, I enjoyed Civilization IV for a bit, but it couldn't hold me for more than a week. I played the bajeezus out of StarCraft, but that was back when I saw a new game every few months if I was lucky. Heck, I logged more hours on a borrowed copy of Dune II than I care to admit. These days, your run-of-the-mill real-time strategy game just doesn't do anything for me. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is a...
