Review Mass Effect 2 (PlayStation 3)
Ultimately Mass Effect 2's obsessive attention to detail is its greatest strength
At times the game's intricate references to obscure fiction can be overbearing, but those that take the time to engross themselves in the world will be richly rewarded. The problem with late ports such as Mass Effect 2 is that they can fall foul to hype. Bioshock left...
News Play With Dead Space 2's Developers This Weekend, Earn In-Game Suit
We're not totally convinced by the longevity of Dead Space 2's competitive multiplayer mode, but it's a fine addition to the package
The gameplay is fun in short-bursts, and while we don't expect it to have anywhere near the tail of other multiplayer titles, it's a nice palette cleanser between long stretches with the game's campaign mode. Those...

News Zipper Respectfully Dubs SOCOM 4 The First "Real" SOCOM Game On PS3
Zipper Interactive are super-nice, professional developers
So they're put in a hard place with SOCOM 4. Undoubtedly the franchise's popularity has been hindered by the slightly rubbish PSN release, SOCOM: Confrontation. But that game wasn't developed by Zipper, and so the studio are clearly having to carefully state, "Hey, SOCOM 4 is the first...

"With great power, comes great responsibility," is one of the most famous lines in comic book history, so we understand why it's imperative inFamous 2 nails its morality system
The original game featured player choices, but they were very binary, and a bit mechanical. It's a criticism developers Sucker Punch have recognised, and gone some distance...
News Duke Nukem Forever: Balls Of Steel Edition Includes A Bunch Of Crap You Don't Really Want
We're not sure where we stand with collector's editions anymore
At first we thought they were a really novel addition to really big releases, but now that every game gets one, they're starting to feel less special. What's more, the stuff that's included is getting a bit predictable. We suppose they are still great for real fans of the franchises...

VT Tennis is a bit like an out-of-season bowl of strawberries
Tasteless, but a passable reminder of the summer. Contrary to quick glance deceptions, VT Tennis is not Virtua Tennis. We're sure developers Virtual Toys would love you to make the mistake though. That's not to say they haven't tried to create the illusion, mind. Minutes after opening VT...

On one hand, Hunted: The Demon's Forge is a presentable idea: a classic fantasy title designed with Gears Of War in mind

Review Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 (PlayStation 3)
Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 tries to appeal to two disparate audiences, and gets lost as a result
