Aliens VS Predator – The Verdict

Last semester, I had a module at university devoted entirely to the alien films. This culminated in a screening of the Alien Vs Predator movie which, as I’m sure you are aware, is very Paul WS Anderson in every regard. This was a bit annoying, having come to the film expecting something like [...]

NecroVision Lost Company – The Verdict

If you’re looking for smart AI, squad tactics and precision gunplay you’ve come to the wrong place. If you like been rushed by hordes of enemies and dealing death with some ridiculous weapons then you can do a lot worse then NecroVision, which takes Painkiller and adds a dose Clive Barker to deliver some old [...]

UK Truck Simulator – The Verdict

I admit it, I like UK Truck Simulator, I have had loads of fun driving up and down the road network of the UK delivering my furniture here or my logs there. Surprising really, I was expecting to play it for an hour and give up, but I constantly get pulled back into it knowing [...]

Bioshock 2 – The Verdict

The Void – The Verdict

Before me stands a glowing golden tree, erupting through the remains of a shattered greenhouse. A whispery voice implores me to venture forth and take the glowing item hovering above the bridge. It’s my new heart, I’m told, I’ll need it to live. Yep, this is going to be a weird one.

Fallen Earth – The Verdict

Fallen Earth is an MMO quite unlike other more mainstream titles of late. This is exactly why more people need to play it. Initially it seems to be just your regular, clunky and drab looking MMO. Actually it is at times, but it’s also so much more than just its looks. We’ve all seen the [...]
