Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure review

5th Cell’s noble attempt to combine the massive DC Comics universe with the imagination-fueled puzzle-solving of the Scribblenauts series falls notably short due to a lack of emphasis in the game on its source material.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 review

Konami strips the Pro Evolution Soccer series to its bare fundamentals for one last show on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 before shifting to next-gen consoles. While it sacrifices style for sparseness, the game is an admirably pure experience.

MSI GX70 review

MSI’s GX70 is one of the few all-AMD gaming laptops still sold. Pairing an A10-5750M with a Radeon 8970M, it brings the company’s biggest guns, but can AMD’s best hardware compete with Intel’s impressive fourth-gen quads?

Rayman Legends Review

It's true I was late to the party but still it's difficult to believe it's been just under two years since Rayman made his spectacular come back in 2011's masterful platformer Rayman: Origins. The title was an awesome return to form for the limbless wonder after a prolonged spell of absence during which time the Raving Rabbids were left driving the historic franchise forward in less than traditional style.

City of Villains Review

No more spandex and goody two-shoes acts of heroism. Dig out the barbed wire, tattoos and wooden legs. The time of the villains has come.

When City of Heroes was first released in 2004 it was pretty clear that the universe filled with superheroes was only halfway done. Just as Star Wars wouldn't be the same without the Sith Lords, no life of a hero can be complete without some super villains to fight. With City of Villains Cryptic and NCsoft's online RPG becomes a much more complete experience.

Ultimate Spiderman Review

Ultimate Spider-Man is Treyarch's third incarnation of the Spider-Man series on home consoles. Over the first two games there have been many ups and down with lots of interesting and many disappointing gameplay features. The old saying "third time lucky" may be proven to be true here however if you are of the superstitious kind Treyarch could have had some bad luck along the way as it looks as if everything did not go to plan.

War World Video Game Review

Mech games have had a well-established history on the PC but have tended to require a lot of effort to get into. Third Wave has decided that all the traditional fiddling with heat-sinks and jump jet settings is unnecessary and has stripped the old Mechwarrior concept down to the deep and dirty basics with War World.

The Wonderful 101 review

Platinum Games and director Hieki Kamiya head to the Wii U with an exclusive that shows the best, and the worst, of Nintendo’s Wii U.

The Wonderful 101 isn’t a very good communicator. The game is the product of Hieki Kamiya, who has a history with Nintendo. His GameCube title Viewtiful Joe was a highlight of that console. And like that memorable title, The Wonderful 101 is every bit as loud and full of color and light. Unfortunately, it’s also far more confusing.

Killzone: Mercenary Review

It was not so long ago that people thought there would never be a proper first-person shooter on consoles; the only way to accurately control a FPS was with the mouse and keyboard of a PC. Then came Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64, proving that FPS could be done on a console and done well. Fast forward to the last decade, and a similar debate has erupted. Could handheld consoles ever be able to support a good first person shooter? Many had tried, and all have failed. I’m here to tell you today it can be done. Killzone: Mercenary is the Goldeneye 007 of portable FPS.

The Last of Us Review

It’s no secret that AAA games are in trouble. They’re costly and frequently forgettable, rarely justifying the ballooned cost of developing and marketing them. Why bother paying $60 for a game when you can have just as much fun with a game downloaded from Xbox Live Arcade or PlayStation Network for a fraction of the cost? Then a game like The Last of Us comes along, reminding us that big budget games still have a place, and still capable of delivering experiences that you can’t get with smaller titles.

Dragon’s Crown Review

It seems like this generation has had its fair share of action-based role playing games as well as hack ‘n slash titles, but not since the classic Dungeons & Dragons arcade games have the genres come together in harmony. However, that’s exactly what happened when Vanillaware sat down to develop the PlayStation exclusive title, Dragon’s Crown.
