When Batman Arkham Asylum came out in 2009, it blew me away. Admittedly I had very low hopes for the game. The fact that it fulfilled every bat-fuelled fantasy I had as a kid made it one of the best games I have ever played period. However, when details about the sequel started to leak [...]

Ninjas. I’m just going to let that word hang for moment. As a kid… alright dammit I admit, even as an adult, I can’t think of anything cooler. Except maybe cyber ninjas. But I digress. Total War: Shogun 2, makes it possible to recruit and command an ARMY of ninjas. That’s like, a whole army [...]

(This is a re-write of the Crysis 2 review which was supposed to be published on the 27th of April but ended up getting lost in internet limbo. The game since then has been updated to v 1.8 which brings a lot of tweaks to the multiplayer side of things. As such, my criticisms of [...]

I remember going on an awkward date once. It was with a lovely young lady I had known for a while and who I thought, knew me pretty well. But on that particular day, everything went wrong from the moment we said hello. I was dressed the way I always did when I was 18 [...]

James Bond has a lot to answer for. Every guy that ever watches him would give his right arm (or at least a pinky) to be in his shoes even for a day. Thank goodness for games then, which let us live out that ridiculous fantasy without the downside of possible dismemberment. Que Alpha Protocol. [...]

Anything predictable is essentially boring. At first glance, the above statement should be unconditionally true. However, if that was the case then a rollercoaster would be the most boring thing on earth. Think about it, you can see where the twists and turns are even before you get on. Even while you are standing in [...]

Sam Fisher is back. And he is really, really mad. To anyone that had played the older Splinter Cell games, this would be reason enough to celebrate. Except for one little detail. This time around, ol Sam is up against a foe that renders him helpless. This time, the enemy is so abhorrently vile that [...]

Pay attention, if you will, to the following lines of dialogue from the single player campaign of Battlefield Bad Company 2 (BC2 from here on): Sweetwater (Yes that’s his name): “If this were a snowmobile race I’d take you down!” Haggard (Again, that’s his name): “It’s not a snowmobile. Snowmobiles are for sissies!” That should [...]

If you really think about it, the whole sci-fi and fantasy thing is silly. I mean, we know there are no elves. We know there are no death stars or Jedis, yet we get sucked into worlds that are home to these imaginary beings with their impossible characters and ridiculous plots. Lemme see, the world [...]

It is a little known fact that 95.2% of all males above the age of 13 absolutely WANT a zombie apocalypse *. Why? Well, to our testosterone-flooded, Romero-fueled, eternally adolescent minds, it would be fun. And each of us, to a man, is convinced that while the rest of the human populace would be snack [...]
