Ah, its that time of year again. Christmas is just around the corner and the new year is slowly approaching us and since there are no more major releases coming out this year its the perfect time to reflect on the games that 2012 gave us. Due to insufficient time and funds I have been unable to play a lot

November is a pretty crazy month in the calendar for gaming, as we see AAA titles like Halo 4, Black Ops 2, Assassin’s Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 all hitting the shelves. These titles are so commercially and critically acclaimed that it’s incredibly easy for smaller games to slip under the radar unnoticed. Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse

The Playstation Vita is a fantastic piece of equipment but unfortunately the system is still struggling with gaining a good catalogue of must-have titles.

The boss battle or as some may call it “hit a big thing three times in it’s weak point to win”. It’s a marker of your impending arrival toward the end of a stage, world or the game itself. All your navigating, previous challenges and progression have been building to these major moments. That moment where you’re in what looks

I’m a big fan of Pixar films and I’m also a big fan of video games however I’ve found the two don’t always go hand in hand. I found Toy Story 3 and Cars 2 to be really good, solid games, but found others like Up, Wall-E and Ratatouille to be very average. The latest Pixar film released this summer

I don’t know if it’s just me, but the horror genre in video games proves much more effective than it does in any movie I’ve seen. Whether it’s the fact games go places, movies dare not try or that you are physically controlling every outcome that plays out in front of you, I genuinely feel more uneasy and scared sitting
