Left 4 Dead 2 – Review (X360, PC)
Left 4 Dead 2 is a great game. It is, quite possibly, Valve’s best effort yet, and considering the rich heritage of that company, that’s saying something. It features great graphics, terrific sound design, astounding atmosphere, authentic tension and emotion, and the kind of addictive tactical gameplay that has not only come to be a staple of the L4D games by now, but is also Valve’s unique trademark. It is a game that everybody should try out at least once. And while there is a chance it won’t really appeal to you, there’s an even greater chance that you’ll love it. Left 4 Dead 2 should be the blueprint for all future sequels- it rights the wrongs of the first, and it evolves and refines the gameplay design to perfection. If ever there was a case of a sequel totally rendering the existence of the first game useless, then this is it. If you’re yet to dabble in Valve’s rather fresh take on the zombie apocalypse, then by all means, go ahead and get the sequel. Not only is it better than the original, but it is a thoroughly excellent game in its own right…

After playing Elder Scrolls IV for three years, and having just finished it for the first time, I can say this: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is the deepest, the longest, the most involving and the most addictive RPG I have ever played.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Modern Warfare 2 makes all the right moves needed to improve on its predecessor. The campaign has bigger set pieces, co-op missions were added, and competitive multiplayer has been tweaked to near perfection. The single player campaign is far too short, but the multiplayer options are second to none. The story picks up where the last ...
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed USE – Review (PC)
Considering all the shame Star Wars has been going through lately, namely the ridiculous Clone Wars saga, it was obvious that someone had to make a logical move and bring in something new, minus all those bulging heads and mediocre animation. And while The Force Unleashed has been released for consoles almost two years ago ...
Borderlands – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Blending genres doesn’t usually work too well, as the games typically turn out as watered down version of each included style. It is because of this that Borderlands is a daring prospect. Not only does it blend two very different types of games, but it attempts to lay claim to a whole new genre, the ...
James Bond: Quantum of Solace – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
Quantum of Solace, along with X-men Origins: Wolverine, seems completely determined to prove to us that movie tie-ins don’t have to mean bad games. It’s no Goldeneye, but the latest entry for James Bond in the video game world is a solid first person shooter that really sucks you into the action with plenty of ...

Borderlands has been a game in the works for four years now by developer Gearbox, 2K Games.

Now held back by a one or two delays, Borderlands ...
Star Wars: Republic Commando – Review (PC)
A long time ago, in a galaxy, far, far away, a franchise was invented which set a whole new level for other sci-fi creations to at least try and reach. Star Wars, the cult classic, a unique mix of science and fantasy fiction, a world too deep to be explored by countless movies, books, comics, ...
Resident Evil 5 – Review (X360, PS3, PC)
There were many thoughts and opinions regarding Resident Evil 4, introduced back in 2005, and all those new gameplay mechanics that came with it. Some thought that the sloppy controls and deliberate action were a betrayal to the series, while most others stated that the series have just got their best soldier. Regardless of the ...
