Call Of Duty: Black Ops Review (Playstation 3)

They say that 'sex sells', but in the gaming industry, nothing sells as well as a good first person war game. Millions of gamers have spent their hard earned cash on titles such as Medal of Honor and Battlefield, with one of the highest grossing being the Call Of Duty franchise. Over the last year, forums have been raging with debates on various pros and cons of these titles, with people ev... more.

The Fable series has been one of the finest fantasy romps in history, with Fable 2 released to critical acclaim and public adoration. Almost everything that Peter Molyneaux and Lionhead touch turns to gold and the two year wait for Fable 3 has been an impatient one for many. You take the role of either a male or female hero, the child of the hero from Fable 2 (the game can check your save file ... more.

Gears Of War was one of the most successful action combat games in recent years and it makes sense for development studios to borrow key elements of the game mechanics. Platinum games recently released Vanquish, a title which is fast paced, action packed and most importantly, fun to play. SEGA and Platinum games were responsible for the critically well received Bayonetta, and Vanquish is set ma... more.

Mech games generally suck. We all know it. So when I was tasked with reviewing the latest Square Enix game Front Mission Evolved I had my preconceptions already prepared. Surprisingly the game isn't as bad as I had expected. Every kid, and most male adults, love giant robots. Aside from the MechWarrior games however, there have been few worth playing. With the return of Front Mission however it... more.

Electronic Arts latest Medal Of Honor game has received much hype already - this is a big franchise which has always sold well. The latest title has the series removed from World War 2 into the present day, within the conflict in Afghanistan. A portion of the press have been angry to point out that multiplayer mode offers the player choice of taking a Taliban soldier ... a game aspect which hasn't... more.

When I was asked to review this game I will admit I groaned in expectant anticipation of yet another third person adventure romp through various boring jungles. To say that this series has become a monumental bore to me would be the understatement of the year. Thankfully this is probably the best game featuring Lara Croft in the last decade. Best of all, it only costs a tenner on Steam! Strap y... more.

Racing games are a dime a dozen and it takes something really good to get me firing on all cylinders (sorry). F1 2010 has kept me addicted for the last week and I have finally gotten around to writing our review. I am very impressed with this new title from Codemasters and if you are even remotely interested in racing games, this might be the killer title you have been waiting for this year. ... more.

Dead Rising was a sleeper hit on the Xbox 360, and deservedly so. It combined a heady combination of tongue in cheek B-Movie style scripting with rampant 'in your face' hacking and slashing. Everyone loves horror entertainment right now, for the last year there have been a constant flow of girlie focused shows with handsome guys sucking the necks of pretty, well endowed women. The zombie side o... more.

I don't often get the time to play games anymore  as most of my days (and nights) are spend reviewing hardware, however I still make sure that my iPad gets a good work out in the early hours of the morning. With the recent release of Grand Theft Auto ChinaTown Wars on the iPad I just had to pick up a copy and see how they could manage to translate such a demanding game to Apple's high selling mob... more.

Halo is one of my favourite franchises so it is with great excitement that I handle this review for KitGuru gaming. Bungie are also saying this Halo Reach is the last Halo they will ever make which seems to make it all the more poignant. I can already calm your nerves by stating categorically that this is probably one of the best first person shooters of all time. I will be the first to say tha... more.
