Tweet The original Assassin’s Creed was in many ways a massive success. It forced a considerable collective jump forward in animation across the industry, it had the foundation of a great multi-enemy combat system with its deliberate, timing-based street scuffles, and the engine presented the player...

Tweet Despite the original relying heavily on its gimmick and not holding much water otherwise, Red Faction seems to have survived somewhat of a franchise cull in recent months. This is probably due to the marketing clout the original release carried, rather than a reflection of quality or success. To call...

Tweet If it’s possible for a non-existent pile of virtual pseudo cash to collect dust, then my most recently-purchased Microsoft points were due for a good Mr Sheening. Imagine then the grin on my little face when I realized that – on the same day that I had moved into my new digs and gotten my...

Tweet [Ed note: Dave Barlow is one opinionated evil bastard. Doesn't mean he's wrong, by any means. Just thought you'd like to know.] I may have sucked online, but damn it I enjoyed CoD4. I was also not part of the “I’m sick of World War II shooters” set. On paper, you’d think CoD:...

Tweet Lazy journalism alert (classification: ‘copied and pasted’). Find the full post at the Battlefield Heroes blog. Yours truly will hopefully be online soon to give y’all a “bloody good pasting” (notice the use of pan-Atlantic lexical contrasting there? Nice). Hello...

Tweet With the 360′s price drop making the PS3 look like even more of an exclusive luxury, and the line of “but the online service is free!” frankly no longer cutting it when compared to the vastly superior Live experience, Sony really need to buck their ideas up to stay in the game. We may...
