Mass Effect
Games are never the first choice of media as being able to tell a good story. In fact I’d go so far as to say they’re the worst. However, RPG’s are probably the only genre in gaming where the story takes precedence over any other aspect that makes up a game. I believe it was Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games who said that gameplay was the most important aspect of a game, and...

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Two nights ago I had the same feelings I had about a year ago when I finished Assassin’s Creed 2. I felt as though I had been ripped off.
Many a good word has been said about both AC2 and ACB (also affectionately known as Ass Creed Bros.) by various different reviewing engines, but rarely have I disagreed so much with the vast majority of the scores and the opinion of the storyline that...

Shadow Complex
How to do it right eh? Obviously that question only applies to the people who’ve played the game. This weekend I was completely addicted and revitalised to the whole Metroidverse (if it should even be called that). A place I haven’t been for quite some time, well not in the strictest definition of the word I haven’t. For those of you who don’t know or can’t be...
