AppsAPP OF THE DAY: Grand Theft Auto 3
We can't believe it has been 10 years since the joys of Grand Theft Auto 3 graced our PlayStation 2. The ground breaking title brought the idea of open world gaming to consoles and its quality voice acting and edgy story showed us how cinematic a game...

Gaming 4 out of 5L.A. Noire review
For once, you can believe the hype. L.A. Noire is a revolution in interactive entertainment (or video games, as us less high-falutin’ types like to call it) and a major step forwards for games as a narrative artform. Both aesthetically and technically,...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Red Dead Redemption - PS3 review
There has been a lot of talk over the last few years about games as the interactive equivalent of movies or TV, and there's no question that we're getting closer to a stage where there's some substance to the claim. Uncharted 2, for instance, wasn't just...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - Nintendo DS review
With MadWorld, House of the Dead: Overkill, and now Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Nintendo seem intent on shaking off that "kids and families" image that the Wii/DS console generation has initiated. What you need to get out of your head right from...

Gaming 4 out of 5Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned - Xbox 360 review
While the idea of PC based add-ons for your favourite games may be as old as the hills, extra content for console titles is still in its infancy. It’s down to those talented folk at Rockstar who seem intent on bringing the option right to the fore,...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Grand Theft Auto IV - PC review
There’s absolutely little doubt whatsoever that Grand Theft Auto IV is one of the very best gaming experiences currently available. The tale of Niko Bellic, and his drop into the murky underworld of Liberty City, was enough all on it’s own to be an...

Gaming 4 out of 5Midnight Club: Los Angeles - PS3 review
If the likes of Burnout Paradise, and now Midnight Club: Los Angeles are to be the future, it seems traditional racing titles are out. And in their place are the kind of freeform titles that once upon a time were almost the sole home of the action/adventure...

Gaming 5 out of 5Grand Theft Auto IV - Xbox 360 review
How on earth can Grand Theft Auto IV live up to the hype? With the series so adored by gamers all around the world, Niko’s trip to Liberty City has been high up on every gamer’s radar since, well, since Rockstar announced its arrival on the next-gen...

Gaming 2.5 out of 5Rockstar Table Tennis – Wii review
The big potential pitfall for the Wii has always been that development teams will merely try and port their already much loved titles from other formats. Might not sound too bad in theory, but who wants to play the same old games with the added bonus...

Gaming 4 out of 5The Warriors - PSP review
Ah, this game takes us back. The Warriors started out as a 1979 Walter Hill film about a group of misfits running riot on Coney Island. Despite its poor box office performance, the film gained cult status thanks to huge DVD sales. Ever seeking new ways...

Gaming 3.5 out of 5Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories - PSP review
In our ever so humble opinion, Vice City is still the best GTA bar none. The 80s soundtrack, the first sighting of 3D GTA bikes and glorious dialogue all adds up to a title that’ll go down in history as one of the best ever. With Rockstar’s money...

Gaming 3.5 out of 5Canis Canem Edit - PS2 review
Courting controversy like it's going out of fashion, Canis Canem Edit, or otherwise known as Bully, is the latest title from the makers of Grand Theft Auto. This time, instead of stealing cars it's bullying kids, feeding the "all video games are evil"...

Gaming 3.5 out of 5Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories - PS2 review
GTA can only be described a major cultural phenomenon. Barely anyone even moderately up to date with modern pop culture knows about the stealing cars, murdering prostitutes, and attacking random passers-by with a conveniently placed chainsaw. But what...

Gaming 4 out of 5Table Tennis - Xbox360 review
When the creator of Grand Theft Auto and Max Payne decides to recreate Table Tennis for currently the most powerful console on the market you've got to question whether someone has lost their marbles. I mean ping pong? Come on. That was until we played...

Gaming 4.5 out of 5Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Liberty City Stories - PSP review
GTA might have won numerous accolades, been nominated for our very own Fluffies and sold over 1.5 million copies on the PlayStation 2, but can the success continue on Sony’s new handheld games console the PSP? We lock ourselves in a room for a whole...
