PS3 Review: NeverDead

It’s flawed, repetitive and might occasionally inspire blinding rage with its difficulty ramps in the last hour, but even so, the experience is a fun one on the whole, peppered with enough solid action and quirky mechanics to make it an entertainingly daft weekend of gaming...

XBLA Review: Quarrel

XBLA Review: Quarrel
The single player mode has a few unfortunate foibles, but if you take it online, Quarrel is a quirky and immensely fun fusion of Risk and Scrabble. If you’re a sucker for word games and are aching for a new XBLA title to scratch that itch, then Quarrel is a must buy, especially for such a great, low...

PSN Review: Wanted Corp

PSN Review: Wanted Corp
Combine the clumsy controls and occasionally wonky AI with the lack of wider variety (each of the eight levels is a linear ‘deal with every enemy’ affair), the annoyingly overused, poorly delivered voice clips for each character and the drab backdrops and Wanted Corp never manages to be more than...

PSN Review: All Zombies Must Die

PSN Review: All Zombies Must Die
It’s let down by its simplistic and eventually tedious nature, but if you’re after another top-down, twin-stick shooter, All Zombies Must Die has just enough fresh ideas to make it worth a look...

PSN Review: Dungeon Defenders

PSN Review: Dungeon Defenders
Dungeon Defenders is certainly an entertaining and addictive tower defense game, with a great blend of tower defense and RPG mechanics and a huge amount of variety. As a co-op experience, it’s a tonne of fun, but unfortunately it’s a game that isn’t well suited to solo play, where punishing...

PS3 Review: Rayman Origins

PS3 Review: Rayman Origins
It’s a minor tragedy that Rayman Origins got caught in the wake of a jam-packed season of major, stellar game releases, but as the one of last big retail releases of the year, Rayman Origins closes out 2011 with a bang. It recaptures the delightful gameplay essence of what made the platform genre...

XBLA Review: Apples To Apples

XBLA Review: Apples To Apples
The natural online problems are expected, but unfortunate, while a cleverly put together solo game is let down by its scant length and disappointing simplicity. But if you’re picking up Apples To Apples, it should be to play with a roomful of friends, and if that’s the case then...
