It’s been nearly 10 years since we were first graced with a video game based on the acclaimed Harry Potter book series in the form of The Philosopher’s Stone to coincide with the release of the movie.  Now we have come to the end of this illustrious series in both the movie and game form. Much like the books themselves, they have had their ups and downs.  Does the game finale go out with a b... more.

The Assassin’s Creed series and I have had a bit of a shaky past.  The first game had its good points but due to lack of variety in the gameplay, it quickly became a chore to play through.  Ubisoft learned from their mistakes and brought us the excellent Assassin’s Creed II with a new character, new setting  and more variety but with a bit of a head puzzler for an ending.  Now, Assassin’... more.

Vampires, werewolves, trolls, skeletons & ghouls etc.  These are the sort of beings that you would associate with horror films throughout the ages but they are also associated with a long-running gaming franchise that you may know as Castlevania.  The Castlevania series has had its fair share of hits and misses through its 24-year career, with most of the hits being in 2D and the misses in 3... more.

If you have played No More Heroes for the Nintendo Wii, you will have encountered something completely zany that came from the mind of Suda-51 (the creator of Killer 7) that ended up becoming one of the best games on the Wii that year and pretty much still to this day.  Crazy boss characters, slice n’ dice action and a likable but cocky protagonist was just some of the craziness that was part o... more.

Cavia has not had the best track record in the past but will this game change all that for them? Nier tells the story of Nier (although you can name the character something else), a gruff looking man who is th... more.

Final Fantasy is considered by some to be the pinnacle of the RPG genre.  After all, some believe it was this franchise that put the genre on the map and it was a certain popular edition of the series that made me fall in love with the Role-Playing genre.  Over the years, we have seen numerous spin-offs and main editions from this renowned series and now in its thirteenth edition; does the serie... more.

You can tell from the get-go that Kratos is one angry SOB, a trait that has pretty much spread throughout this illustrious series. Now we step into God of War III, the fifth game in the series (counting Chains of Olympus & the mobile only Betrayal) and one question needs to be asked: Does the series still have its spark? I can answer that with a resounding yes. If you have played any of ... more.
