  • BackStab - Xperia PLAY Review

    As one of the flagship launch games on Xperia PLAY, and a timed exclusive on Sony Ericsson’s smartphone/gaming device, it’s no real surprise that Backstab is one of the most gorgeous-looking games on the platform. With rich and colourful textures that look vibrant on PLAY’s 480...

  • Baja: Edge of Control Review

    When it comes to real-world off-road racing, the Baja 1000 is like the Indianapolis 500 and the LeMans 24-hour race all rolled up into one exhausting event. Designed to leave you tired beyond measure, every year thousands of people (ironically) drive down to Baja, California to then drive a thousand...

  • Batman: Arkham City Review

    Rocksteady Studios learned a lot from its inaugural attempt at crafting an innovative and compelling superhero game in Batman: Arkham Asylum. Some two years in the conceptual and development oven, Batman: Arkham City is sprawling compared to Asylum. The combat is still free-flowing, but with the use...

  • Battlefield 1943 Review

    Battlefield 1943 is a unique entry in the world of videogames. Costing just $15 USD (£10) and weighing in at a meager 565 MB, DICE Studio’s downloadable multiplayer shooter features just three maps, three classes and one game mode, yet it has the look and feel of a big budget game, playi...

  • Battlefield 3 Review

    Forget all the hype about EA and DICE’s latest first-person shooter. Forget about the promises of Battlefield 1943 included in PlayStation 3 copies of Battlefield 3. Forget about all the smack-talk about its ultra-elite graphics. Forget about the other “modern-war” shooter on the h...

  • Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Review

    To say that the PS3 is inundated with first person shooters would an understatement of epic proportions; it's absolutely suffocated by them. With 49 games in the genre already clogging up the shelves, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 represents the latest entry into that sea of shooters hoping to set itse...

  • Battlefield: Bad Company Review

    Welcome to the 222nd Army battalion, otherwise known as B-Company. This “elite” group of America’s finest is what other soldiers like to call Bad Company. It’s a G.I. task force that is compiled of misfit soldiers and rebels that the government is basically just sending out t...

  • Bayonetta Review

    Bayonetta is a deceptive beast. On the surface, it may seem like a load of self-indulgent, ostentatious old cobblers looking to transfix you with its dazzlingly ludicrous cut-scenes, but dig a little deeper, and you’ll soon discover that developer Platinum Games has managed to pack in what man...

  • Beats Slider Review

    PlayStation Mobile is Sony's entry into the weird and very lucrative world of software developed for mobile devices. The games and apps designed for PS Mobile are compatible with the PlayStation Vita and Android powered devices from Sony and HTC, with support for more devices in the future. One of t...

  • Ben 10: Omniverse review

    Developed by Vicious Cycle Software and based on the American animated children’s television show, Ben 10: Omniverse revolves around main character Ben Tennyson, who has a tool called the Omnitrix which allows him to transform into different alien creatures. Alongside him every step of the way...

  • Big Sky Infinity review

    Available exclusively on PSN as part of the cross-buy initiative that offers gamers both the PS3 and PS Vita versions for one price, Big Sky Infinity is Boss Baddie studios evolution of its original PC-based twin-stick shooter Big Sky and its subsequent sequel Really Big Sky. With Voofoo Studios of ...

  • Binary Domain Review

    If only it were that easy. Honestly though, Binary Domain is a wonderful example of a lower profile game making a name for itself through polish and flare. Set in 2080, global warming and other environmental factors have led to mass flooding of the planet. As a result, the survivors of the flood wer...

  • Bionic Commando Rearmed Review

    How often have you heard the word “remake” and cringed? Most likely more than you’d care to remember. It’s been 20 years since Capcom first released Bionic Commando for the original NES, and it's making a return in the form of a PlayStation Network download. While remakes oft...

  • Bionic Commando Review

    Capcom has had a monumental influence on the videogames industry over the years by conjuring up new ideas and creating some innovative game mechanics that have managed to stand the test of time, as well as motivating others along its illustrious path. Bionic Commando, a 20 year old NES and arcade cl...

  • BioShock 2 Review

    Returning to Rapture is a lot like visiting Disney Land as an adult. It doesn't have that same awe-inspiring presence, the locals are still hostile and a bit tweaked, and while all the sites (and amusements?) are familiar, there's still a welcoming sense of nostalgia that makes the long lines worth ...

  • BioShock Review

    Game of the Year. Immersive storyline. Incredible art direction. Stunning visuals. Unique gameplay. These are just many ways in which one may extol the qualities of 2K’s universally praised aquatic FPS, BioShock. Following months of speculation, 2K Games has finally brought their award winning...

  • BioShock: Infinite Review

    As soon as the credits started rolling at the end of BioShock Infinite, I scooped my jaw up from the floor and jumped on my laptop to start emailing my co-workers here at PSU. Just about everyone on our team was already knee deep in the story, and while I was careful not to spoil anything, I couldn'...

  • Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien Review

    The somewhat-obnoxiously named Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien exudes a voluminous aura of indie charm, but it's particular gamers who will fall in love with Commander Video's latest adventure. With nary a story beat to miss, you're in it for the gameplay, and Runner 2 goes...

  • Blast Factor Review

    As joyful gamers trudged home on November 17th 2006, PlayStation fans around the world rejoiced. These gamers proceeded to eagerly set up their PlayStation 3’s with the warm, fuzzy anticipation of experiencing all of the “Next Generation” elements of their new machine, primarily an...

  • Blitz: The League II Review

    What makes a football title great? Some may think that realistic tackles, precision passing and great visuals are the keys to a successful franchise. Midway on the other hand prefers a more intense direction to the sport of football. Blitz: The League II demonstrates how steroid usage, sleazy agents...

  • Borderlands 2 Review

    The studio behind 2009's stylish first-person shooter, the addictive and clever Borderlands, deserves credit for putting out a co-op game with massive cajones. Gearbox Software created one of our favorite titles of this generation, it fed the dirty habits of loot whores, and its subsequent add-o...

  • Borderlands Review

    The ever-growing first-person shooter and role-playing game crossover genre has received its latest addition with the release of Gearbox Software’s Borderlands. Set in Pandora, which has an old West style theme, you and three friends can set out on an epic adventure to do two things: kill lots...

  • Brave Story: New Traveler Review

    What do an avid gamer, a scantily clad kitten, and a lizard-like waterkin have in common? Pretty much nothing, which is about as much of a negative thing one can say about Brave Story: New Traveler. After promptly naming your hero and your leading lady, this epic journey begins on a park bench wh...

  • Brink Review

    The first-person shooter market is as saturated as a slimy dish rag. In its current state there isn’t much use to add yet another run ‘n gun title into the mix, but every once in a while a developer rings it out just enough to add their own flavour to the proceedings. The problem is it&r...

  • Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Review

    Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway is one of those rare games that manage to capture the realistic emotion and sentiment that true soldiers on the front line experience. The series has always followed the 502nd Parachute Infantry, 101st Airborne Division throughout their trials and tribulations ...
