Everyone loves violence. Well, perhaps only the gun-toting psychopathic Americans the media and classification regulations seem to portray. Australians, we must be quite sane - with the OFLC sticking a pacifier down our barrels before we even get a chance to re-enact video game violence in real [...]

“Of course I can… I’m Will Wright, bitch”
As The Simpsons Game came out riding on the publicity wagon of the film release, I pre-empted an experience similar to that of The Simpsons Movie, be it story or setting. To then begin this game [...]

Review: NHL2k8 (Xbox 360)

I don’t know what it is about the game of ice hockey, but I felt cooler in several ways just by playing it.
Maybe it was the staring at the icy surface the players use to break their fall and various limbs, maybe it’s just playing a game that, when a fight breaks out, everyone including [...]

The House Of The Dead (HOTD) light-gun shooters were always a tentative affair when fiddling with the tokens in my pocket. While the first 3 sported great graphics for their time with a bunch of fun and great zombie shooting action, there were always a few things a little [...]

Call of Duty, the next in the series with a little twist. In this game we are taken away from the WWII setting we have grown to love in the [...]

Developer: Nintendo EAD

Nintendo’s natural order of things seems to have built up to a pinnacle. We’ve had next-gen Zelda. Recently Samus hit the Wii in Metroid Prime 3. Most of the other loved Nintendo names have had their big next-gen outing and now it’s time for the main moustached man to step [...]

Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Publisher: Ubisoft
Available On: XBOX 360, PS3, PC (2008)
When kidnapped by an unknown assailant and forced into a machine with the purpose of retracing the genetical memories of your assassin ancestor to learn the location of an unknown item from the year 1191, it’s hard to say no. Seemingly confusing at first, when paid [...]

Developer: Nintendo

The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is the first Zelda title to follow on from a predecessor, proving a wonderful sequel to the Gamecube’s “The Wind Waker” and an ingenious adventure game unrivaled by any other on the DS market.

For the Sony cows among us who like to compare consoles and system war, the alternate Dynasty Warriors handheld titles on the market would serve as a good comparison. While the Dynasty Warriors games available for Playstation Portable may not be the best titles out there, they [...]

While Colin is strapping on his bladed skates and hitting the ice on NHL 2K8, I’m going to lace up and foray into a more vertical sporting outing with 2K’s NBA 2K8; aptly named to include it’s publishers insignia of course.
