I’ll openly admit right now, Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 was not a game that appeared on my release radar. As a fairly naive manga viewer and someone who never tried the original game, I was not sure what to expect when this title fell on my lap but with an open mind and some excitement of

I really enjoyed the original Epic Mickey on the Nintendo Wii. Sure it didn’t live up to its amazing initial concept art and failed to deliver it’s promised good vs. bad system, but thanks to a combination of fun Nintendo 64 style adventuring and enough Disney references to make PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale’s effort at fanfare look pitiful, it’s a

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

It’s finally here, the next addition to the ever popular Assassin’s Creed franchise. This time, we no longer return to fan-favourite Ezio Auditore da Firenze’s life, but instead are introduced to a whole new set of characters in a whole new time frame. This is the sequel, I for one, have been waiting a long time to see, and I

Let’s face it, the WWE is a ghost of its former self lacking the genuinely interesting characters, fun story lines and overall sense of impact it once had. This coming from a fan of the company who was at one point in his life glued to his television set watching Shane McMahon leap from the top of the TitanTron onto

Many of you will probably remember this time last year, was around the point where many out there got sucked into a little thing call Skylanders. Taking the Spyro brand and essentially transforming it into something that at the time seemed insane and different, the game (and its figures) went on to become THE thing to buy that Christmas. While

It’s that crazy time of year that all gamers look forward to (and our bank balance dreads) the most. The summer drought has ended and it’s time to enter the run up to Christmas. This means the usual annual £40 updates to football games, the latest entry in the Call of Duty series and other sequels hoping to sell bucket

Sonic Adventure 2 was my childhood go-to game. Back in the days of the Dreamcast I would always find myself replaying stages just to hear the lyrics to ‘City Escape’ once more (and believe me I know every single word even to this day) or grab a few extra emblems or even just to perfect one of my runs and

I’ve been playing guitar for a few years, so when this game came up for review, I was jumping at the chance to give it go. Although I really wasn’t sure what to expect from a game being advertised as a learning tool for guitar and bass, the idea seemed like an interesting one albeit ambitious. Bottom line is, Rocksmith

So here we are, Resident Evil 6. What many expected to be the pinnacle of the series; a game that would cater for everyone whether you were a shooter fan, horror enthusiast or somewhere in between has shockingly failed to deliver. On paper it all sounds fantastic; multiple campaigns, varying gameplay styles, plenty of extras. In practice however things
