Here we go again, another movie tie-in video game. I am not the proverbial unbiased reviewer. I’ve been disappointed with Star Trek video games for the last two decades, the brand has seen multiple companies, including Bethesda and Activision attempt to create something but this has never happend and failed as so many others had.

Space, the final frontier.  That’s how it’s all supposed to start yes?  Of course it is and with this final frontier comes the biggest sci-fi franchise of all time.  That’s right, Star Trek is back and it’s no longer a thing for loveless nerds pining to date a green chick!  The new film series have [...]

It’s an age old story, head to a tropical paradise for a holiday, attacked by hordes of zombies, escape, but the requirement for a sequel means you know your undead friends will be back. This is exactly what we have here with the release of Dead Island Riptide, the 2nd in the Dead Island franchise first seen in 2011.

As a Gears of War fan and ever since I heard about its release, Gears of War: Judgment was certainly the game I was looking forward to playing in 2013.  At Eurogamer 2012 I got the chance to play a sample of OverRun with a couple of my Gamerdad buddies and the biggest thing I [...]

Anyone who enjoyed 2012’s smash hit (and my personal Game Of The Year), Dishonoured, will no doubt know that more story driven content is on its way, but in the mean time Dunwall City Trials is out now! While not a massive chunk of DLC, its much like the Challenge maps from Batman: Arkham City, [...]

The urban jungle meets the actual jungle in this latest entry in Cryteks popular sci-fi shooter series, Crysis.  Set 20 years after the events of the second game, the cityscape of New York has been transformed into a sprawling jungle after being encased in giant nano-dome by “CELL”, a private military company, under the facade of containing the last [...]
