Finally the day is here and Mafia II has been released for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Ever since I saw my first glimpse of this game back in August 2008 I was hooked. To say that I am excited about this game is a gross understatement. I would like to point out I was not a fan of the first Mafia game, which was also developed by 2K Czech, formerly known as Illusion Software. The first Mafia just re... more.

Starcraft is arguably one of the most well-known, played, and best PC game of all time. Nearly twelve years later and the sequel has finally arrived. The campaign comes equipped with four difficulties; Casual, Normal, Hard, and the ever so inviting sound of Brutal. The story takes place four years after the Brood Wars with Jim Raynor leading a revolutionary group, who call themselves Raynor’s... more.

Kudos 2 (by Positech Games) has been on the scene a little while now and has in many ways been overshadowed by EA’s The Sims series. Kudos 2 is a life simulation game that allows you to guide your avatars through 10 years until their 30th birthday. You being the game with the option of customising your avatar’s looks and clothing options. Those expecting Sim’s style 3D realisations will b... more.

Imagine if you will that Civilisation 3 and Democracy 2 got together for a naughty cuddle after debating the finer points of the Victorian Era. The resulting combination could be Victoria II by Paradox Interactive. 7 years after the release of the original, Victoria II comes out this month for your PC. The original slipped me by in a year I spent playing Freelancer and SimCity 4, and I was way ... more.

Well, James approached me a short while ago and you know what he said? He said “Hey Dave, you want to review a game? It’s a space RTS and you get to keep hold of it when you’re done!” So after looking around on the net and seeing reviews pointing out how the game is and I do quote “Ground breaking” and “One for 4X genre fans” I thought “Great!”Pretty good deal in my eyes. Sett... more.

M.U.D TV (or Mad Ugly Dirty Television as its actually called) by Kalypso attempts to do for television, what The Movies did for.. well movies. You play as Matt who after getting thrown out of University for being a know-it-all and EVIL AS swears vengeance and decides to take over the world by using TV. To do that, he goes out and gets a job. That’s right.. No creating a TV company out of mil... more.

This week I picked up Transformers: War for Cybertron, which was published by Activison and developed by High Moon Studios. This is High Moon’s third game, other releases include the 2005 vampire-western Dark Watch and the fairly well received, The Bourne Conspiracy, based on the Robert Ludlum authored, Bourne series of novels and films starring Matt Damon. Transformers: War for Cybertron is ... more.

Fishdom 2 comes to you from the lovely people of Playrix who have also put out Royal Envoy which you may recall me doing a review and James doing the preview for awhile back. Playrix is kind of known for their basic yet entertaining titles with vibrant colors and music. They have a sort of friendly feel to their games which is a nice change of pace for when I get bored of sniping heads off and des... more.

Inside all of us, there’s that little bit (ok, in some of us, quite a large bit) that likes to watch things explode; or even better, make things explode. We want to cause mayhem; we want to set things on fire; we want to make things go boom. Over the years, games developers have slowly cottoned on to this, and our consoles and PCs have been more and more graced with blessed destruction. As time ... more.

Real-Time Strategy games! I have always loved these game types. From LAN parties on Warcraft II, to swearing at all the people who can build rush-armies faster than me on Dawn of War, RTS games have always been my fallback when I have nothing else to play. My own personal love is building impenetrable base defences, and laughing maniacally as enemy troops get mown down at my door. [caption id... more.

What are your thoughts? We'd love to hear from you!... more.

Royal Envoy is a gorgeous looking game brought to you by the folks over at Playrix. It's filled with flamboyant sounding characters and a king whose tights would make even Sir Elton John envious and resembles the King of Cosmos from the Katamari Damacy series. The story goes as a place called Islandshire has had a natural disaster before the rainy season starts, and the rainy season is apparently ... more.

I’ll be honest, I never really adopted the Genesis, it was a system that I bypassed as I strolled happily along with a Sega Master System before jumping on to the N64. One of the games that I missed on the Genesis was the beginning of the Rocket Knight series, given the fact that the re-imagination of the series by Konami is so damned good, I am a little gutted that I haven’t given it the time... more.

A Kingdom for Keflings is the PC port of the Xbox Live Arcade game of the same title, in which you take on the role of a giant who has been called on to help the halfling race known as Keflings build a kingdom, and ultimately, a castle. The Xbox version allowed your avatar to take on the role of the giant, whereas the PC port gives you eight giants to choose from, four male, four female. Your choi... more.

Non-realistic soccer games are a turnoff for most people. But when you combine the addictive retro qualities of the likes of Sensible Soccer and Kick-Off then you are really off to a winner. Stirfry Games has taken the monetary investment from Blitz 1UP and took an impressive Xbox Indie Arcade title and turned into a more polished and refined experience. For those akin to a beautiful graphical qua... more.
