Rayman Origins Console Reviews

Rayman Origins

If you don’t like to be challenged and prefer games that you can complete without breaking a sweat, then Rayman Origins is not for you. If you can still remember the days when platform games were a true test of your skills and reflexes then you can’t pass up this game. Origins is one of the best looking and entertaining entries that the genre has seen in recent years and well worth adding to your collection.

Gameplay: Starts off nice and easy, but the challenge soon ramps up.

Graphics: Some of the best 2D visuals seen in a platform game.

Sound: Brilliantly wacky and perfectly suits the look and feel of the game

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Console Reviews

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

Uncharted may not have the most original plot, but the lead characters are likeable and the locations exotic. While you will spend more time exercising your trigger finger than exploring, the game has plenty of action and a ton of a extras. While it could have been a bit longer the treasure hunting will keep you coming back for more.

Gameplay: Great but maybe too much emphasis on gunfights.

Graphics: Detailed and vibrant.

Sound: Good voice acting and atmospheric music

Post Apocalyptic Mayhem PC Game Reviews

Post Apocalyptic Mayhem

Post Apocalyptic Mayhem is pretty bare bones when compared to other racing titles on the market and it has somewhat of a low-budget feel to it, but provided you can get into a decent multi-player match there is lots of fun to be had. The free DLC released for the game has also since been integrated with the base game.

Gameplay: Despite the floaty controls and lack of variety there is still fun to be had.

Graphics: Nothing spectacular, but the visuals aren’t too shabby.

Sound: Pretty generic

Gryphon Knight Epic PC Game Reviews

Gryphon Knight Epic

With only eight levels it doesn’t take very long to complete Gryphon Knight Epic, but the game is certainly enjoyable while it lasts. It doesn’t have the speed or overwhelming odds of a bullet hell shooter, but the slower pace still provides a challenge. Add to that the beautiful pixel art visuals and you have a game that all retro fans will enjoy.

Gameplay: The pace is a bit slower than modern side scrolling shooters, but still challenging and enjoyable.

Graphics: Beautiful pixel art visuals with detailed backgrounds and tons of enemy variety.

Sound: Not bad, but not exactly memorable either

Kameo: Elements Of Power Console Reviews

Kameo: Elements Of Power

As far as launch titles go Kameo is quite impressive, but if you were expecting something radically new and different be prepared for disappointment. There are some good ideas packed in the game, but the sloppy controls and repetitive gameplay soon show through the pretty visuals. It’s not a complete disaster, but falls short of what it could have been.

Gameplay: The controls let it down a lot, but if you are a platform fan there’s fun to be had.

Graphics: Very good, but the quality is a bit uneven.

Sound: Epic soundtrack, but the usual mediocre voice acting

Reverse Crawl PC Game Reviews

Reverse Crawl

Nerdook once again impresses with a title that delivers turn-based strategy in an engaging, humorous and very accessible manner. The visuals are charming, the gameplay addictive and although short, there are enough reasons to replay the game a couple of times. Anyone looking for a turn-based strategy title that can be enjoyed without a degree in military tactics should definitely add Reverse Crawl to their library.

Gameplay: Easy to play, but with enough depth to keep it interesting right to the end.

Graphics: Features the typical charming Nerdook visual style.

Sound: No voice acting, but the music is pleasant enough

X-Men: Reign Of Apocalypse Gameboy Advance Game Reviews

X-Men: Reign Of Apocalypse

X-Men: Reign Of Apocalypse does not stray very far from the traditional side scrolling beat ’em up roots. The visuals are pretty good, but the gameplay is very generic and combat can feel a bit stiff. It is not a terrible game, but the lack of depth will mean that once it is over you more than likely will not return to it.

Gameplay: Very limited.

Graphics: Bright, colorful and quite detailed.

Sound: The music is fine, but the sound effects repetitive

Just Cause Xbox 360 Game Reviews

Just Cause

Just Cause starts with a bang, but runs out of steam way too early. The huge gameworld is certainly impressive, but up close the flaws are all too apparent. Once you add in easy missions, repetitive gameplay and a lot of annoying quirks the shine soon wears off. There is still loads of fun to be had by messing around, but do not expect this to be close to Grand Theft Auto.

Gameplay: Had a lot of potential, but unfortunately fall somewhat short.

Graphics: Very impressive from a distance, but not so good up close.

Sound: Not very memorable

Excite Truck Console Reviews

Excite Truck

Excite Truck is a frantic arcade racer that never slows down or attempts to be even remotely realistic. Its all about hurtling around tracks and flinging your truck through the air in a quest to amass as much stars before the race ends. The weak multi-player and longevity issues drag it down but it is still a lot of fun, while it lasts.

Gameplay: Nice fast paced arcade racer.

Graphics: While not spectacular it is still pretty good overall.

Sound: Sound effects are OK but the music is a bit grating

Every Extend Extra Handheld Reviews

Every Extend Extra

Every Extend Extra is a unique title, but it is not going to appeal to everyone. Fortunately, there is a free version available for computer which will give you a good indication of what to expect. If you like arcade shooters with a bit of a puzzle element, then you will appreciate what this game has to offer.

Gameplay: Fast and frantic, but won’t appeal to everyone.

Graphics: Very psychedelic.

Sound: Integrated well with the gameplay
