    Like many things that come from the beacon of innovation that is Valve software, Counter-Strike was revolutionary for its time. Aside from bringing intense squad-based gameplay to the masses, the game also spawned international gaming tournaments where you could win  real money.

    If you found this review because you’re colorblind and like video games, then you’re in luck because Colour Bind can be played by color blind gamers.  It’s also a fun game for people who can see colors, and like physics puzzlers.  If you fall into either of those categories, read on.  If you can see...

    There is something about the Assassin’s Creed series that feels off, and I know that I can’t be the only one to feel that way. I say this as someone who was pushed into this current generation of consoles after a lengthy wait thanks to how amazing Assassin’s Creed looked and the gameplay that was...

One area of the Expo that’s always a mine...

    One of the big issues I had with God of War III is that it dehumanised the already-inhumane Kratos. In earlier games, there was some semblance of a motive behind his actions, abhorrent though they were. After the third game, I frankly just came away thinking he was a bit of a dick; worse still, I helped...

    I didn’t know much about Prison Architect before going to Eurogamer. The game from Introversion software (the brains behind Darwinia and Uplink) looks charmingly simple, with its almost Theme Park-but-better style graphics. However, after the developer sessions with Mark Morris and Chris Delay revealing the game’s intricacy, I was utterly obsessed about find out more....

    In a recent tweet, Sid Shuman revealed that the launch lineup of PS All-stars has been entirely revealed. Given that the tweet is still located on Sid Shuman’s twitter home page, this does not appear to be a marketing mistake nor a lie. From this, we can assume that he’s telling the truth–the entire cast...

    Hell Yeah: Wrath of the Dead Rabbit is a peculiar game.  The subtitle informs potential buyers that it is the tale of an enraged bunny who embarks on a mission to quench his thirst for vengeance with the blood of his enemies.  The art design is hand-drawn and cartoonish, combining whimsical cutesiness with gore and...
