Good old medicine... /begin rant/ SO, I’M WRITING THIS Ed’s Note in the hope that it’ll never be published. It’s one of those Murphy’s Law / karma things I’m a slave to. In this issue there was supposed to be a preview on the new [I better just ke... Read more

A Decade in Gaming
Time flies when you’re having fun/pwning noobs and the last ten years disappeared in a flash of gibs and cussing. We look back on an incredible decade in gaming, software and hardware to bring you all the highlights (and lowlights) ...


Crysis 2
Dane didn’t get a Nanosuit for Christmas last year. This did not please him. He went on a vengeful quest to off those responsible and then disappeared into the South American jungle to live his life as a nomadic mercenary. We found this feature in our mailbox, handwritten and bloodsplattered...


3DTV: 3D gaming on PC invades your lounge
We single-handedly (using Neo’s robotic, liquid nitrogencooled hand) prove that your 3D-capable PC can safely move from your study to your lounge without too many hassles ...


Reviews: Gran Turismo 5
THIS GAME, GRAN TURISMO 5, represents a six-year labour of love by development team Polyphony Digital, and six years of eager anticipation for literally tens of millions of committed fans of the series across the globe, and for these reasons alone it’s undoubtedly one of those watershed events...


Reviews: TRON: Evolution
SO HERE’S THE DEAL: these ISOs (Isomorphic Algorithms) have appeared on The Grid and their existence has caused quite a stir in the world of TRON. ISOs aren’t like basic programs, you see - they’ve got a measure of free will and aren’t just the physical embodiment of a programmer’s handiwork ...

Preview: Marvel vs. Capcom 3:Fate of Two Worlds
THIS IS THE GAME nobody would have thought possible five years ago. Fighting games in the West were, to be frank, in the gutter.


Reviews: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING that Blizzard has learnt a lot in the last 6 years. The game has become more accessible (for better or worse) and more and more players are finding their own niche in the world.


Reviews: Epic Mickey
WHEN THE NAME WARREN Spector appears on the credits list for a game,people pay attention. In addition to his history in the pen-and-paper role-playing game industry, Spector is behind some incredible videogame series including Ultima Underworld, Thief, and Deus Ex, although not the upcoming Human Revolution.


Reviews: Splatterhouse
YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T PLAY the original Splatterhouse trio of games. If I remove my rose-tinted glasses for a moment, I can tell you truthfully that they weren’t really anything special


Review: God of War: Ghost of Sparta
TEETH! BOOBS! SCARY MONSTERS with sharp teeth! Scary monsters with freakish boobs! Action! Slashing! OMG my swords on chains are on fire!


Reviews: Back to the future: the Game: Episode 1
IS THIS WRONG? THE Back to the Future films are beacons for all that was good and right about Hollywood in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, and alongside other cult icons like Terminator and Alien have been inducted into just about every hall of fame you can imagine.


ASUS EAH6950
IT WOULD BE NOTHING short of a lie to suggest that it was any other IHV but AMD which brought DirectX11 to the masses at reasonable prices and stellar performance.


AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
WE DOUBT IF THERE’S anybody who follows the tech industry with a keen eye who will not admit that the last 5 years or so for AMD have probably been the hardest in the company’s history.


Reviews: The Sly Trilogy
BEFORE SUCKER PUNCH BECAME famous for making inFamous, they produced a series of three games on PlayStation 2 that were close to becoming definitive of platform gaming on that console. These games were up there with the Ratchet & Clank, Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter franchises...


Reviews: The Fight: Lights Out
NEW HARDWARE ALWAYS LEADS to new ideas – some of them rather obvious – but it also takes a while for things to get settled. That means the potential for nasty games is always higher early in the lifecycle of new toys… and we certainly have seen that with the PlayStation Move.
