A Look At Some Of The Changes In This Years Madden NFL 13 Despite being from the UK since the days of my good ol Sega Mega Drive I have had a love for the Madden NFL series. The more modern Madden games offer such a fantastic simulation approach to the sport that it can seem a little overwhelming to new comers. But I actually think that Madden NFL 13 does a great job in introducing you to the way of the NF ...

Forza Horizon Could This Be The Best Forza Yet? It 's crazy to think that this is the fifth installment in the Forza series. I guess you could now call it a franchise. Forza Horizon, however, is more than just the fifth game in the series. While it will have some features that fans of the series have come to love, in many ways Forza Horizon is somewhat of a spin off rather than a direct sequel to Forza 4. T ...

FIFA 13 Improvements As a long time fan of the Fifa series of video games dating way back to the Mega Drive days and Fifa 13 scores a goal. Fifa 2004 introduced something that we take for granted these days and that is the career/manager mode. I look forward to this each year. Fifa 13 by far is the best career mode in a Fifa game to date and I wanted to share with you a few of the things that I love this ye ...

Halo 4 and Borderlands 2 Fail To Frag Black Ops 2 For fans of first person shooters, 2012 has been a busy year, with the release of Black Ops 2, Halo 4, and Borderlands 2. In the span of a few months, we have gone from dusty Pandora and its cast of crazy characters in Borderlands 2 to the lead-ridden cities of Black Ops 2 and, of course, back to the futuristic, alien worlds of Halo 4. I love all of these ga ...

Dishonored by Jason Bourne Dishonored has taken many of us by surprise this year. It really has not had a whole lot of hype which really is a crying shame because more people need to play this game. Some of the guys who worked on Dishonored worked on the amazing Bioshock 2 and it does kind of show in both Dishonored game play and the setting. Dishonored has been pigeon holed as a stealth game and I is a dis ...

by Jason Bourne UK Game Developers Being a gamer from the UK as I was growing up I had no internet or anything like that back in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. I just ignorantly assumed that the majority of games that I was playing on my consoles at the time were either made in Japan or America. Little did I know that this little island that I live on was home to some of the very best video game developers on ...

Castle Crashers Weapons Castle Crashers, when it was first released on the Xbox 360 in 2008, became this huge cult hit, with its Castle Crashers Characters and some over the top Castle Crasher Weapons. Castle Crashers for PS3  was released a couple of years later along with Castle Crashers for PC, and, boy, did it made the game even bigger.

  Yes, you read that right, and I am not being sarcastic. A little while ago, I finished LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, a hundred percent completion. This is easily the best gaming experience I have had this year. Possibly the best one I have had this generation. Wondering why I am holding this game in such high regard? Well, after playing the whole game in two player mode with my son, I will tell you ...

"I can’t believe it. I survived the onslaught. By far this was the heaviest firefight I’ve been in. I don’t know if it was my fast reflexes and instinct that got me through it or dumb luck. I don’t know that I even care. I got more kills than I had expected, and there’s plenty of loot to sift through. Still, things aren’t all good. I don’t have to look at my health meter to know that I’m hurt. My vision is ...

    Female characters in video games have increasingly taken on a more dominant and commanding role. It’s hard to imagine now, a good RPG, Action Adventure, or shoot-em up game without a female character. Long gone are the days of Super Mario where you had to save the princess. The proverbial princess has now come into her own and needs no saving. In any fighting game I have ever played I have alw ...

    Tom Clancy’s name has been put to many very well received games over the years. Many people even non gamers, have had their head turned by the fact that his name is on a game. Ghost Recon Future Soldier is actually the fifth game in the Ghost Recon series, and in some ways it is trying to go back to the series' roots. You see, the very first Ghost Recon game was also the first Tom Clancy game ...

Assassins Creed 3: For Better or Worse Ubisoft’s Assassins Creed series seems to be like the marmite of video games, you either love it or you hate it.

So far the preview videos have shown for some exciting game play moments, but will it be enough ...

Halo 4 Master Chief is back! When it comes to icons on the Xbox 360 there is one guy that probably comes to most gamers’ minds, and that guy is John-117 better known as Master Chief. Halo really kicked the Xbox off when it was first released, and each release has been met with great excitement from the fans. Halo 3 was a fitting end to that part of the Halo story, and Halo 4 is going to be the start of some ...

  Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 While there is no doubt that many gamers buy each and every Call of Duty game mainly for the multi player experience they are going to get, there has always been a single player story mode to play along side as well. With the more recent Call of Duty games it’s unusual to hear gamers say that they completely ignore the single player campaign. Black Ops 2, however, looks to c ...

Original XCOM Game Footage: XCOM was a much loved sci-fi strategy game that was first released back in 1994. This really is not just a reboot, but more of a re-imagining. 2K games are actually working on two games under the XCOM name, but they are both set in different universes. The other XCOM game is just a first person shooter, and nothing like the 1994 strategy game. When this first person shooter was f ...

A series that many feel had lost its way over the years, certainly came back with a bang when it was rebooted just a little while ago. Medal of Honor was once the big dog in terms of shooters ...
