  Hands-on: The Last of Us preview: Two cities explored in the hottest PS3 game of the year

  By Stuart Miles 17 May 2013

  The Last of Us is the latest PS3 exclusive game from Naughty Dog, the creators of the Uncharted series. It tells the story of Joel, a hardened man who has seen some action and Ellie a 14-year-old girl, who band together in a zombie-invested America to...

  God of War: Ascension review

  By Hunter Skipworth 11 March 2013

  God of War is a game about getting angry. It tasks you with laying waste to anyone in Ancient Greece, god, man or monster, who has done so much as even look at you funny. The series looked like it had come to an end with God of War III on PS3, as its...

  Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag preview

  By Hunter Skipworth 4 March 2013

  Without spoiling things, the end of Assassin’s Creed 3 was fairly definitive in the way it closed down the whole series, so when Ubisoft invited us to take a look at a new Assassin’s game, you can imagine our surprise. First up lets get the truly...

  Crysis 3 review

  By Hunter Skipworth 27 February 2013

  There is a reason why our Crysis 3 review is a touch late: we weren’t happy putting pen to paper before we had set eyes on the PC version of the game. It took a little longer, but we've finally had the game ticking along on our rig for a few days now....

  Tomb Raider (2013) review

  By Mike Lowe 25 February 2013

  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...

  Sony PS3 slim review

  By Ian Morris 15 February 2013

  The PS3 is dead, long live the PS4. Except the PS3 is so far from dead it's almost ridiculous. For one thing, there is a persistent rumour that when the PS4 launches, it will not be backwards compatible with PS3 games. That's not a hardship for most,...

  Garnet Red superslim PS3 pictures and hands-on

  By Rik Henderson 14 February 2013

  As Sony Computer Entertainment gears up to unveil the next generation of PlayStation, it is also doing some rather interesting things with the current. Not only can you now get a superslim PS3 - the third body shape in its six-year life - but a range...

  Tomb Raider hands-on preview: The first three hours of play

  By Mike Lowe 14 February 2013

  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...

  Dead Space 3 review

  By Hunter Skipworth 12 February 2013

  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...

  Aliens: Colonial Marines review

  By Mike Lowe 12 February 2013

  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:...

  Disney Infinity pictures and hands-on

  By Hunter Skipworth 28 January 2013

  First things first, let's get this out the way: Disney Infinity is not a Skylanders clone. Aside from the interactive figures, the game itself is an entirely different experience. Comparisons can obviously be made, but it's not until you see it in action...

  Call of Duty: Black Ops II review

  By Hunter Skipworth 15 November 2012

  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. ...

  Turtle Beach Ear Force Sierra pictures and hands-on

  By Hunter Skipworth 13 November 2012

  Turtle Beach has quite a reputation among gamers for being the go-to guy when it comes to headsets. They aren't cheap, but for serious game fanatics, the payout is usually worth it.  With Call of Duty: Black Ops II now hitting the shelves, Turtle Beach...

  PS3 Wonderbook: Book of Spells review

  By Rik Henderson 13 November 2012

  We have to be honest, when we first clapped eyes on the new official accessory for the Sony PlayStation 3, the Wonderbook, at E3 in June we weren’t immediately blown away. It is, after all, simply a 12-page hardback board book with a sequence of slightly...

  Dishonored review

  By Rik Henderson 12 October 2012

  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...
