OverThere's Reviews - Feeding Frenzy
Nature hardly serves as a fun backdrop for games. I mean, just look at previous flops such as Cabela Big Time Hunting, or Africa. But Feeding Frenzy...man, that's a rare exception, or so I hear. I know PopCap are the big daddy of casual PC games for everyone, but can they really take the idea of fish eating fish, and turn into something fun? Well, they succeded with a book-reading worm and a cannon thatshoots balls into other balls, but, they perhaps have gone too far this time and cannot create a great game out of such a dull premise.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney [iPhone]
I wouldn't have expected a game like Law and Order and Diagnosis Murder to hit our shelves at any time in history. Hell, if it was released, I wouldn't have expected it to be entertaining either. As far as "Unlikely ideas for games" go ,Defense attorney sim probably would have got to the top. However, if what the general nerdsphere says is true, Capcom have a hell of a game on their hands. However, should I believe this hype? There's only one way I, and you, can find out. Read on. Read More

To The Point Reviews - PSN
Ok, So i've noticed that there are two types of people that read reviews. Some love to look at every detail that really scrutinises every aspect, while others just scroll to the bottom and look at the score. So today I'm gonna review a few PSN titles very minimially, so you can basically just make up your own mind about them. These will not replace normal reviews, just something I want to try, tell me what you think. Read More

Red Faction Guerilla
The game places you in the shoes of Alec mason, a mining engineer going to mars to look for an honest living, but some things happen and you wind up joining the Red Faction, the rebel force for the freedom of mars from the oppressive EDF. This game takes place a few decades later than the previous entries, and as such it is a different Red Faction, newly formed. Through terra-forming you can now breathe on mars, and have cars and things so it creates an open-world playground atmosphere. Read More

Frontlines Fuels of war
I seem to have found myself with another FPS game, which, although certainly does have it’s merits, doesn’t quite do enough to make is a widely respected game, and although it is no way a bad game, the FPS game is so competitive now, that you have to have some unique feature or features with your game to entice the gaming market, and whereas this game certainly dos have some well made new ideas, they just aren’t quite developed enough, and are let down by some poor development decisions.

No One Lives Forever 2 - Revew
When I look back over my relatively short time as a gamer, there are a bunch of games I hold fond memories of, and every now and then I have an overwhelming sense of nostalgia towards a particular game and have to play through it again just to relive all the memories. Of course, over time as these games get older, the quality of them deteriorates to some extent, but there are some which still hold out as true gems which are more fun and polished than a bunch of newer games on the market right now; and No One Lives Forever 2 is one of these.

Wii Sports Resort - Review
Well here I am, reviewing my first Wii game, and I have to say, I have been quite pleasantly surprised. I have always understood that the Wii is a family console, with only some minor exceptions within its gaming catalogue to challenge this fact, and so I did not scorn the Wii, but nor was I interested in it. However, due to a series of unforeseeable events, my family now owns one, so I felt obliged to go and see what all the fuss is about. Read More

Halo 3 ODST - Review
As I sit by my desk, writing this review, I find myself looking through our forum’s various comments concerning the Halo series, and in particular, Halo ODST did not bode well with the majority. In honesty, this confuses me quite a lot, whereas for sure, Halo is not an absolutely amazing, perfectly designed game, but neither, like most accusations suggest, is it just Bungie rolling out the same old shit time and time again, purely designed to dig into the bank accounts of the never swaying fan base.
