London 2012: The Official Videogame – The Verdict

London 2012: The Official Videogame – The Verdict

What better time to post my review of London 2012: The Official Videogame, than the day after the closing ceremony? If you want to get a taste of the Olympics once again without watching everything once more on BBC iPlayer, you can always try out the game, but you will be missing out on a large number of sports. The game features 46 events from 13 sports, pretty stingy when compared to 304 events from 36 sports that we just witnessed over the past couple of weeks. London 2012 clearly doesn’t quite match the real thing for events to take part in, but the bigger question is, are they any good to play?

Rainbow Moon – The Verdict

Rainbow Moon – The Verdict

Rainbow Moon has been described by many as an hardcore old-school RPG. When a game is described as hardcore it is meant to signify that the game is a complex and requires a sizeable amount of time and practice to fully master. This is far from the truth with Rainbow Moon, an ultimately shallow game stretched out for so long that it requires immense dedication and patience to complete.

LEGO Batman 2 – The Verdict

LEGO Batman 2 – The Verdict

It must be noted off the bat that I have been playing the PS Vita version of LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, a bit of much needed context when you consider the rest of this Verdict.

I am gravely disappointed by this version of the game, I have dabbled very briefly with the PC version and I can see that the game on the PC and high-def consoles is quite impressive. But knowing what the Vita is capable of, I am left feeling disappointed by the handheld interpretation.

First Battlefield 3: Aftermath Details Emerge

First Battlefield 3: Aftermath Details Emerge

The first details for the third DLC pack for Battlefield 3 have emerged on the official site along with the above piece of concept art.

Aftermath will be set in Tehran after an earthquake has struck which means we will see four new multiplayer maps already full of dust and debris. We can also look forward to cracks and fissures providing on the maps to provide cover and new paths to objectives. There will also be some heavily modified military and civilian vehicles to take for a ride, and there will also be a new game mode, no details on that yet. Before Aftermath comes, we have Armored Kill which is coming in September, more details on this vehicular DLC can be found on the official blog.

New Dishonored Trailer Showcases Escaping

Have I said yet that I am looking forward to Dishonored? I’ll make it clear then shall I? I am bloody well looking forward to Dishonored. The latest gameplay trailer can be found after the jump, it is entitled Daring Escapes and it features lead man Corvo using three of his supernatural abilities (Blink, Bend Time and Possession in this case) to escape from the guards at Boyle Mansion. This is certainly going to sit right up there at the…

WRC 3 Trailer – Releasing This October

WRC 3 Trailer – Releasing This October

I have talked about the travails of the rally game before and I reviewed WRC 2 last year, and it is sad to say I wasn’t entirely blown away by it. I am hoping that WRC 3 offers an improvement as I am longing for a really good, proper rallying title to come out. Hit the jump for two and a half minutes of action on a Spanish stage and for more details on WRC 3.

The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard – The Verdict

The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard – The Verdict

If there’s one thing I love about Skyrim it’s that it gives the sense of a deep and real, living and breathing world with meaningful consequences. There are various different stories to delve into, different paths to choose and even random chance encounters with a troll or necromancer that could potentially take you halfway across Skyrim on a quest for glory. Dawnguard is the first available DLC from producers Bethesda and adds to this world by deepening your characters story and environment even more.

Having sunk around 125 hours into my original Skyrim playthrough I thought I had more than had my fill of being dragonborn. But after an absence from the game of around three months, Dawnguard has reminded me of my love for the game and made me realise just how much I had actually been missing it. Certainly I had exhausted almost everything my original mage could do, but Dawnguard gives me a good excuse to start afresh with a new class and gives me the chance to do any quests I missed the first time around. Besides I wanted to try out that awesome looking new crossbow and become an evil vampire lord and my goodie two-shoes mage just didn’t seem like the kind of person to do this.

F1 Race Stars – Debut Trailer

F1 Race Stars – Debut Trailer

If Formula 1 is a bit too serious for you, and the racing titles are too simulation-like for you, then F1 Race Stars from Codemasters might just be the one for you. This OTT racer, due this November on PC, 360 and PS3. The trailer is below, and is one of the best trailer for a racing game I have seen as it just exudes fun and has a great visual style which I sincerely hope is matched in the…
