Alien Swarm: Awesomeness Evolved

If you haven't already got Alien Swarm then I'm going to assume you have you head buried so deep in the sand that you can see the Earth's core. Alien Swarm is a free Source Engine adaptation of the original UT2K4 mod which was developed but the UT2K4 developers, Valve simply hired them and set them ...more

Last thursday the Xeta crew and I embarked on an epic journey across NZ to xLan in Auckland...which turned out with me drinking from 5am until I fell asleep. It was awesome. I was to meet my brother Mega and mate Chro in Auckland and stay with them and finally return back with them instead of ...more

Metro 2033: Impressions

Recently I started up in some post-apocalyptic action in Metro 2033. After having a fit of errors loading for the first time that required me to dick around with display settings and update various DirectX things I managed to get into the game without it loading as a plain black screen. To start I have to quote ...more

Mount and Blade

Yes, I know....this game was released 2 years ago...sue me. I was advised to get Mount and Blade by Budda simply cause "It is awesome"...so I got it.

Shatter on Steam

It all started with Breakout in 1976 created by Atari and was followed by the cult hit Arkanoid by Taito in 1976. I all the time since then so many clones have been made that it’s just unbelievable, such a simple concept of a game derived from Pong. Now we have Shatter by Sidhe a Wellington ...more

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – Review

As you know I played the Bad Company 2 BETA and both loved and hated it at the same time. I preordered the limited edition of the full game and upon getting it I found that my Single Player save games would crash on load and that I couldn't join multiplayer servers due to the ...more

Mass Effect 2: Review

As most of you know by now, I love me a good RPG and I hate me a bad console to PC port. The original Mass Effect had me raging due to its console-ish feel and its supreme bugginess that basically made the game completely unplayable unfortunately. But dammit, I'm a sucker for torture...so I got ...more

Battlefield Bad Company 2: Impressions

Thankfully the beta for BFBC2 is easily joinable with free keys floating about left right and centre...But I have to say thanks to 28thMB|Morph for giving me a heads up on where to get them from GPForums.

Star Ocean: The Second Story

Seeing as the current gaming industry fails and that I'm trying to get funds for Global Agenda, I decided to play games that I used to love...so I picked up Star Ocean and Guild Wars. The former marks one of the best RPG's ever made that even spawned an anime, the latter you all know about ...more

Overlord – Too Dumb to be Good

Recently I've spent alot of my time on a relatively mediocre game called Overlord. While it has many features of what makes a good game, it's riddled with so many shortcomings that you'll end up feeling extremely unsatisfied before you reach the end of the game. The guilty pleasure of raiding anything in sight may ...more
