Gaming 4 out of 5SimCity (2013) review
From the time EA announced that SimCity would need an always-on internet connection there was some rage brewing in the fan community. It's understandable rage too, because SimCity is the latest in a line of games that is loved, and still played by many,...

Gaming 5 out of 5Tomb Raider (2013) review
Tomb Raider has, by the very premise of its name, always roused the excited kid in us. And we don't mean because of the game's female protagonist, Lara Croft. Well, not entirely. No, there's something very Indiana Jones about adventure, treasure hunting...

Tomb Raider hands-on preview: The first three hours of play
It's been five years since Lara Croft last occupied our screens - just enough of a hiatus to give the Tomb Raider franchise a much needed break and turn the game on its head. We don't just mean figuratively either: the latest Tomb Raider opens with our...

Gaming 4 out of 5Dead Space 3 review
Dead Space came out of nowhere. It proved that in the days of Call of Duty and the other mega franchises, there was still space for a genuinely new and exciting series of games. With the original Dead Space developer Visceral Games made a name for itself...

Gaming 3.5 out of 5Aliens: Colonial Marines review
Alien is one of 20th centry's all-time classic movies. In that typical Hollywood style it's spawned sequels, a prequel in the shape of Prometheus - so what was that all about? - and, of course, its fair share of video games. The latest of which is Aliens:...

Hands-on: SimCity review
SimCity 2000 is one of the best games of all time. You might disagree, but if you do, then, well, you're wrong. The sim-plicity of the concept didn't stop it from being an amazing game. The hours you could happily sit in front of it were staggering. Back...

Gaming 5 out of 5Call of Duty: Black Ops II review
As with so many long-running franchises, we found ourselves wondering what Black Ops II could bring to the party that hadn't already appeared in one of the other Call of Duty games. We wouldn't have been too surprised if it had been much of the same. ...

Gaming 5 out of 5Dishonored review
Let's get a couple of things of our chest straight away. Dishonored is a splendid, fantastic game that is worthy of awards, plaudits and it's own parade with floats and dancing girls and everything. However, every time we see or write the word it reminds...

Gaming 4 out of 5Alienware M17x R4 review
Alienware has been flying the flag for gamers for a while now. While its hardware isn’t exactly cheap, for those serious about PC gaming, it is one of the go-to brands. The M17x sits right at the top of the company’s line-up. With a 17-inch screen,...

World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria collector's edition pictures and hands-on
We had only just recovered from the joys of Diablo III and its over-the-top demon head USB key, when the World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria collector's edition turned up at Pocket-lint towers. Sadly there wasn't a mad USB key in sight - which is a...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Diablo III review
The mouse has to be without doubt one of the most boring pieces of technology available. It might be as useful an invention as the car or the railways, but rarely will we be doing backflips over a new piece of mouse-related hardware. Thanks to Diablo...

Diablo III collector's edition pictures and hands-on
Diablo III marks the return of one of the all-time great PC game series. Ten years in development, the game is now live and ticking along nicely on PCs the world over. It's available in several different versions, but for the true fan there can be only...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5The Walking Dead: The Game review
There have been no shortage of zombie games in the past couple of years. Whether poppin’ heads in House Of The Dead: Overkill or chainsaw-slashing the undead in Left For Dead 2, the premise is much the same: slash, hack, shoot, kill, repeat. So for...

SimCity screens and preview
It has been a long time since SimCity last made an appearance on PC. For most it is a game that has been sitting on the shelf collecting dust, or hidden away behind other newer and shinier games. SimCity comes from a time when graphics didn’t matter...

Gaming 5 out of 5Mass Effect 3 review
Wow. Mass Effect 3 is, as far as we can remember, the best third instalment of anything - movie, game, TV series, anything. Return of the Jedi? Nope. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King? Get out of here. Big Mommas: Like Father Like Son? You seriously...
