Current generation gamers may associate military FPS games under the branding of the Call of Duty and Battlefield series exclusively. When a new title comes along that branches out in the genre, it may almost be seen as the new kid in school; many are intrigued, curious and will use first impressions to decide if it will ‘fit in’ to their gaming collection. As a gamer, it is important to remember that a title generally holds its own, and it is in no way clever to compare apples to oranges, or in this case – a pineapple. Medal of Honor Warfighter (MoHW) has finally enrolled with plenty of sweet and sticky juice on the inside.

Back in 2007, a small group of developers released a total conversion mod for the Half Life 2 Source engine. Released as ‘Age of Chivalry’ the game had a medieval theme with a focus on team objectives, close-combat battles and improvised tactics.
Skip forward five years and we’ve now got our hands on the new title by Torn Banner Studios – ‘Chivalry: Medieval Warfare’. ‘Chivalry’ follows on with the theme of a multiplayer first person slasher set in the Middle Ages. Read more…

The self-professed Diablo of FPS games, or Role Playing Shooter is back with the second iteration of Borderlands and it doesn’t disappoint. A few niggling issues as well as a little repetition do little to sour the greatly satisfying experience of running and gunning with even more modifiers than before, and some wonderfully crafted environments all wrapped in a great sense of humour.

Out of all the booths at the 2012 EB Expo a few stood out from the rest. One such booth which stood out despite sitting next to the overbearing cube that was the Call of Duty Black Ops 2 booth was Warner Bros Games. Read more…

The second annual EB Expo came and went over the weekend just past and it most definitely lived up to EB Games’ hype about being bigger and better than the inaugural show last year. With attendance counting in the thousands higher than last year and the duration increased to three days instead of just two it was definitely a lot busier, and the atmosphere from the punters had the venue buzzing with excitement throughout the entire event.

It’s hard to know where to begin with the review for a game like cozino. Without having played the original game I can’t use it as a point of reference, but if it was anything like this one then I will definitely need to play it.

I have to admit that up until this version I had never played any of the Metal Gear Solid games. Well that’s slightly inaccurate… I played about 5 minutes each of Portable Ops on PSP and the PSone classic MGS1. Now that I’ve admitted my short comings I have to concede that I was a fool for never getting around to playing them. Read more…
