iOS app - Paper Monsters review

Paper Monsters, no, we are not talking about the solo album done by Depeche Mode, we’re talking about Paper Monsters for iOS. Yeah, I know, even way more hype. So what’s it all about? Well, think of Paper Monsters like a pop-up book of Mario dressed in a cardboard box suit (ummm…Paper Mario?). It’s just an awesome cardboard box dude that goes from purple pipes to purple pipes and collects silver and gold buttons and paperclips instead of coins. Yeah, this is nothing like Mario… — Our full review after the break!

PC - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim review

Ah Bethesda games, they’re always so special. Huge open worlds to explore and huge amounts of entertainment are in all of their games if you can deal with the large amount of bugs and issues those games were riddled with. And here we are at the fifth Elder Scrolls game, a series that has become ridiculously popular since its inception, and it really doesn’t get much better than this. Bethesda has made their newest trek into the snowy north of Skyrim it’s most memorable and effective yet with fantastic graphics, design and, as always, the best sidequests in the buisness bar none. Not only does Bethesda meet the huge bar they’ve set for their series, they’ve exceeded it by leaps and bounds. — Our full review after the break!

Xbox 360 - Modern Warfare 3 review

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Everyone knows it and just about everyone’s played at least one game in the series. Coming off the smash hits of just about every other Call of Duty game is the apparent finale to the Modern Warfare franchise. It’s interesting to see how little fanfare the game has released to, regardless of the fact that its still broke records on it’s release day. Oh no, wait… I know why no one’s talking about it… It’s because it’s story, competitive multiplayer and overall gameplay just isn’t very good at all. — Our full review after the break!

iOS - Gangstar Rio: City of Saints review

The official Grand Theft Auto game debuted on the iOS platform a while ago but Chinatown Wars only offered a top down gameplay style which just didn’t cut it for many GTA fans. As a result, many have turned to the Gangstar series by Gameloft as an alternate car jacking experience. How does the third iteration of the series perform? — Our full review after the break! 

PS3 - Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception review

Uncharted 2 had a profound impact on the way we view games on the PS3. Undoubtedly becoming one of Sony’s flagship titles based almost solely on this single game’s excellence, Uncharted 2 used it’s excellent visuals and amazing setpieces to really impress gamers and leaving one extremely long lasting impression. Now, it’s time for Uncharted 3 and this time it’s very much an iterative installment as opposed to the sweeping changes in the second. You’ve still got the great gameplay, movie style setpieces and witty banter that makes the series great but, alongside some general gameplay issues, it doesn’t leave you with the shock and awe that the second game so brillantly captured. — Our full review after the break!

3DS - Super Mario 3D Land review

Mario’s always been known for bringing something new to the table with every major release we’ve seen on a console. The handheld department however, has always sorta just stayed with the 2D formula. And with the exception of NSMB, Mario games in the sense of running and jumping, haven’t always been that prevalent on mobile systems like the GBA or DS. But with 3D Land, we’re now venturing into the third-dimension, in a game that is a mix between everything we’ve come to love from just about every major Mario game — from Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario Galaxy. But does it have an identity of its own, or is it just a culmination of old ideas slapped together for profit? — Our full review after the break!

Xbox 360 - Sonic Generations review

We’ve waited years, nearly a decade really, for a proper Sonic game to emerge since its glory days on the Genesis and Dreamcast. Sonic 4 and Colors both had their hearts in the right place but they couldn’t help fill the void we’ve been feeling since we last played Sonic Adventure 2. Well, SEGA has heard the incepid crying and complaining, stripped off the fat that’s been tying the franchise down for so long, and have finally crafted the ultimate Sonic experience. And if you feel like this couldn’t be true in the least would it convince you if I dared to say that perhaps Generations might be the BEST Sonic game ever made? — Our full review after the break!
