  Welcome..   Well it seems Mojang are getting involved in the SOPA protests after all :D   No sane person can be for SOPA. I don’t know if we’re sane, but we are strongly, uncompromisingly against SOPA, and any similar laws. Sacrificing freedom of speech for the benefit of corporate profit is abominable and disgusting. — Notch Tomorrow, January 18, we will clos... more.

  Hello again.. Well we have a 'proper' release of Minecraft for you today (well last Thursday)   Jeb_: Was going to upload Minecraft 1.1, but first Bohemian Rhapsody singalong Jeb tweeted the above along with this link; http://mojang.com/2012/01/12/minecraft-1-1-update/ [caption id="attachment_12397" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Read the full Minecraft 1.1 Up... more.

At this point in time, you’d think that a series going in to its eighth iteration would have lost a large sum of its fan-base, seeing as it has become all but the Friday the 13th of videogames, but in the case of Call of Duty it just isn’t the case. Creating more and more convoluted reasons to shoot Russians is akin to the bizarre ways in which the antagonist Jason is brought back to life ever... more.

2011 has been a year of gaming comebacks and heavy hitters and while there are plenty more to come, the FPS genre sees its biggest war this year with Battlefield dropping the Bad Company for this instalment and facing off against the gaming avalanche that is Call of Duty. Considering DICE’s pedigree it was almost a certainty that Battlefield 3 would be a mega-success, and it is, but it definitel... more.

For a good long while now there have been whispers of a movie based on Naughty Dog’s franchise Uncharted. Fans have long discussed their casting choices at great length and talked about what they would want from an Uncharted film. The question is why would we need a film adoption when Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception exists? The premise of Uncharted 3 remains in the same vein as the previous ins... more.

When Rocksteady released Batman: Arkham Asylum, it did so to critical acclaim and not only was it very successful, it broke the horrible trend of bad superhero games. Well sort of. Arkham Asylum delved into a darker, more disturbing and brutal side of the Batman mythos, pitting the Bat against some of the more violent and psychotic super-villains in the universe. Batman: Arkham City had to be more... more.

Dark Souls is the spiritual successor to the Playstation hit, Demon Souls. I'll be honest here, you've probably read a review already. Or heard the hype about the difficulty. Well, I decided I didn't want to push out a fast review, I wanted to play this for a month, rather than the usual 'two day review time' that reviewers allocate. Let me just say, I'm glad I did. You start out alone in a pri... more.

Back in 1995 a baby was born. The baby was the result of a partnership between Andy Davidson and a fairly small developer called Team 17. No-one at the time quite realised the importance of that birth. The baby, was called Worms. Since 1995 we have had numerous sequels to the original, all the way up to Worms 4. They've appeared on multiple consoles from the Amiga to the PC, the Xbox 360 to ... more.

It's cute. It's colourful. It will lure you into thinking that you're playing an innocent, friendly take on 'Tower Defence', and then it'll ruin you. Dungeon Defenders is a winning combination of comforting and punishing the senses. It takes 'Tower Defence' gameplay and sprinkles it with action-RPG elements, leaving us a game with those rare and precious qualities of that are both genuinely enjoya... more.

Double Fine Productions are known for a few things. One, they were created by the legend that is Tim Schafer (previously of LucasArts and Monkey Island/Grim Fandango fame). Two, they've brought amazing titles like Stacking and Costume Quest to the Xbox 360 in recent years. Now, they've released their first ever licensed title in the form of their Kinect adventure Sesame Street : Once Upon A Mon... more.

Forza is a franchise that has rocked the charts with each instalment, letting the highest calibre of racers demonstrate their prowess. Turn 10 and Microsoft Studios now bring us Forza 4 and it comes with a different promise; to cater for every type of racing fan - from the casual and arcade drivers to the hardcore racing fanatics that know the inner workings of a car better than they do their own ... more.

The final instalment of the Gears of War trilogy brings us a poetic tale of bloodshed and bromance. Epic games attempts to wrap up their story with emotional closure while giving you some outstanding third person gameplay that will leave you breathless. Concerning the latter, Gears pulls of a successful campaign that uses good pacing and visuals to draw you into the game. The gameplay is not fu... more.

Id have a legacy in the games industry that can barely be matched by most of the relatively new developers. For those that don’t know, they created the very first successful FPSs. That might not mean much to the new breed of gun happy gamers that like nothing more than a good old modern shooter, but older gamers will rejoice in the memory of shooting their way out of hell with a pump action shot... more.

Every now and then, a game comes along with every intention of pushing your PC to breaking point and beyond, with smooth crisp visuals, the best in ambient lighting and the power to melt your credit card for that all important graphics card you didn’t know you needed. The modern runners, such as Rage and Battlefield 3, are a far cry (no pun intended) from Crytek’s seminal 2007 release Crysis. ... more.

When X-Men Destiny (XmD henceforth) was announced, it sounded like a dream for most comic book and RPG fans. Long have we awaited the game that features characters we know and love, in an RPG format that was actually any good. Sure, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 came close, and despite being a valiant attempt, it fell just short of expectations. Could this latest venture from Silicon Knights be the ... more.
