Disney’s Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two — The Verdict

Disney’s Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two — The Verdict

Historically Disney games tend to be fairly good — the Illusion series that includes Castle of Illusion, World of Illusion and the original Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion was critically well regarded. However, much like the inhabitants of Wasteland, Disney’s Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is best forgotten.

Far Cry 3 – The Singleplayer Verdict

Far Cry 3 – The Singleplayer Verdict

I’ll come out and say that I have been blown away by Far Cry 3 from what I have played so far, I thought that it had a lot of potential from when I played it at the Eurogamer Expo, but that was limited to the open world and was only a relatively short experience. Playing Far Cry 3 in all its glory shows you what a brilliant game it really is. Note that this is only a Verdict based…

The past two days have seen something incredible. Hundreds of women games developers, journalists and culture commentators have poured out their anxieties, passion for their craft and how there are some in the industry and culture who make them think about leaving it all behind.

F1 Race Stars – The Verdict

F1 Race Stars – The Verdict

There are some combinations in this world that shouldn’t by all logical reasoning work. Why does chilli go so well with chocolate? How can Jaegermeister and Red Bull make such a slamming drink? Perhaps the people at Codemasters Racing know, because they have managed to take the two ends of the racing spectrum, karting and F1, and combine them to create F1 Race Stars.

New Far Cry 3 Trailer Shows Guns, Knives and Vehicles

As I take a few minutes away from Far Cry 3 I see an email about a new video for the tropical shooter showing off some wild action along with numerous machete based takedowns and some C4 loaded hang-gliders. I’ve been playing my review code for a few hours now, and I can firmly say that this is one heck of a shooter, and I’m playing it on the 360, not my first choice for an FPS’, but it just…

WWE 13 – The Verdict

WWE 13 – The Verdict

One of my long standing memories of my childhood is watching the Royal Rumble in 2000 which featured amazing moments with groups like DX and wrestlers like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. I didn’t have Sky during the legendary Attitude era of the WWE, but I caught Sunday Night Heat whenever I could and I loved what I saw.

Assassin’s Creed: Liberation The Verdict

Assassin’s Creed: Liberation The Verdict

If there is one thing you will need if you purchase Assassin’s Creed: Liberation, it will be patience. Patience to put up with some awful implementation of special Vita features such as the rear camera, motion sensitivity and even the touch screens. At heart, it is a pleasant take on the Assassin’s Creed series, complete with viewpoints to synchronise, weapons to buy and some Animus fluff.

Assassin’s Creed III – The Verdict

Assassin’s Creed III – The Verdict

History is a funny thing. Napoleon said “History is a set of lies agreed upon.”  Easily misread, misunderstood or misinterpreted, it is written by the victors and those who do not remember it are condemned to repeat it. Perhaps that is why Assassin’s Creed III comes to deliver a bloody rendition of the American Revolutionary War in video game format.
