NIER Review (Score: 7.9/10)
Review by James Cottee @ 2nd June, 2010
NIER was clearly created to be enjoyed by those freaky Japanese shut-ins who never leave their rooms, both because it offers a fantastical, sexy proxy for the human experience, and because it represents tremendous value for money. You could play this game for months.

After Burner Climax Review (Score: 7.0/10)
Review by KostaAndreadis @ 27th May, 2010
So for an arcade game, immediate impression is king, and with that numerous other aspects like depth and replay-ability take a back seat to hooking people in for a few minutes of fun. Sega knows this, and that's why their arcade output has been without peer for many years...

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands Review (Score: 7.1/10)
Review by MikeBantick @ 24th May, 2010
In many ways, the Prince of Persia series is the quintessential example of how videogaming has progressed over the years. From 2D, turban filled platforming of the late eighties to the 3D enemy-laden world of 2010, but still retaining the recognisable elements that made the original such a hit...

Puzzle Chronicles Review (Score: 7.3/10)
Review by MikeBantick @ 20th May, 2010
The latest game from local developer Infinite Interactive continues to sport the Puzzle moniker as well as much of its forebears flavour, but drops any pretence of ‘turn-based’ game-play.

Red Dead Redemption Review (Score: 9.5/10)
Review by Steve Farrelly @ 18th May, 2010
Red Dead Redemption is by far the best open-world game to come along in a long time and has set itself as the standard by which all should follow. It's by no means the perfect game, but the sum of its emergent, engaging parts craft an experience like no other. It's also easily the most visually appealing game-world you'll have ever laid eyes on. Simply a must-buy...

Alan Wake Review (Score: 7.9/10)
Review by Steve Farrelly @ 12th May, 2010
When Remedy pitched Alan Wake as something of a television series handed to player's in episodic form, they weren't kidding. The game takes many cues from various films and TV series of the past; the kind that have reached plateaus of pure pop-culture benchmarks, and I'd be remiss to not mention the likes of Twin Peaks, X-Files, The Shining or even Evil Dead...

Super Street Fighter IV Review (Score: 9.8/10)
Review by ChadDrake @ 11th May, 2010
Whilst SSFIV doesn't technically broach any new ground per se, the improvements in multiplayer functionality alone provide reason enough to purchase this version. The extra characters, Ultra's and the inclusion of classic SFII Bonus Rounds are just the icing on the proverbial cake that is the best fighter around...

Review by KostaAndreadis @ 6th May, 2010
If you’re a fan of puzzle games and the presentation style appeals to you, then this should be a definite purchase.

Din's Curse Review (Score: 7.7/10)
Review by MikeBantick @ 6th May, 2010
What do you do whilst waiting for Diablo 3? Probably pick up Torchlight actually. But if you are in the market for some Diabloesque lite action, then perhaps Din’s Curse is the answer.

FIFA 2010 World Cup Review (Score: 8.5/10)

In the battle to decide which is the best football game on the market, FIFA 2010 World Cup has stepped up to the plate in a big way.

Red Steel 2 Review (Score: 7.5/10)
Review by Steve Farrelly @ 23rd April, 2010
West, meet East. East, meet West. Think Sergio Leone crossed with Takeshi Miike - such is the premise and direction for Ubisoft's pseudo sequel to Red Steel. More a re-imagining, Red Steel 2 takes the FPS and swordplay action of the original and ups the ante, with a greatly improved control set-up; allowing a seamless blend between gunslinging and the way of the warrior...

Monster Hunter Tri Review (Score: 9.5/10)
Review by James Cottee @ 23rd April, 2010
This is the best Monster Hunter game to date. It's not the largest, in terms of content, yet with oodles of high-rank event quests and the added bonus of 4-player co-op available in the free online mode, there are enough challenges in Tri to keep you coming back for months...

Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom Review (Score: 8.7/10)
Review by KostaAndreadis @ 21st April, 2010
Although not perfect by any means, Settlers 7 is a great game, one that takes the familiar concepts defined by its predecessors and uses them to provide a more refined and focussed game that will no doubt please fans and newcomers alike.

Splinter Cell: Conviction Review (Score: 8.5/10)
Review by Shufti @ 19th April, 2010
For someone like me who doesn't quite have the patience for pure stealth games, Conviction strikes a nice balance between stealth and action.

Silent Hunter 5 Review (Score: 6.9/10)
Review by MikeBantick @ 19th April, 2010
So we come to Silent Hunter 5, our first underwater mission for three years, and a package that ups the ante in watery graphics as well as the ability (for the first time in the series) to tread the decks of your U-Boat and dock in first person mode.
