  • (originally written by me on TA) Released to little or no fanfare in January 2011, this game probably passed you by. Critically panned with a Metacritic rating of 43 it soon fell into the bargain basement section. I grabbed it for £5 ($8) in July purely to boost my beandive stats so didn't expect much anyway. The signs aren't good when you start the game up....

  • (originally posted by me on TA) Midway Arcade Origins is a funny title. It follows the vogue for retro compilations such as SEGA Mega Drive Ultimate Collection and Namco Museum Collection, but rather than being strictly Midway, there's some Atari stuff in there too. The TA ratio of 1.46 belies the challenge contained therein. Each of the 31 individual games on the...

  • On the face of it, this isn’t even a game as you (eventually) reach it via the Apps tab/blade/dashboard horror. But it has 400Gs attached and you can whore it for great justice, so it’s a game of sorts. It’s a freemium effort in the same vein as Happy Wars or that new Spartacus thing. Unlike those two, it doesn’t involve any online shenanigans but it does have a...

  • (originally posted by me on TA) Charlie Murder is the latest XBLA release from Ska Studios, the same people that brought us the Dishwasher games. I never played those so had no prior expectations as to what to expect from this. In fact Microsoft’s imminent change to local currency instead of MSP and the crappy exchange rates they’re giving us, meant that I played this...

  • (originally posted by me on TA) Chariot is the latest freebie courtesy of Games With Gold on Xbox One (unless you're reading this after the event and had to pay for it). It's a puzzle platformer that brings to mind Spelunky in terms of the exploration aspect and Terraria with regards the terrain you drag/push your titular chariot through. If you lose sight of your...

  • (originally posted by me on TA) It would be far too easy to dismiss Blur as Wipeout Kart except with real cars in real world locations. Indeed on the basis of the multiplayer beta many will have written it off and maybe bought Split/Second around the same time instead. This was the first racing game from the sadly departed premier British developer since the Microsoft deal...

  • This entry in the Assassin's Creed series was simply a way for the owners of the last-gen consoles to get one more game in the series before having to be forced to get a next-gen console to satisfy their craving of the assassination, exploration & stealth that we all have come to love from the Assassin's Creed series. While to me it felt a bit rushed, the way the story...

  • Есть 1 баг периодически возникающий. Порой кинект начинает плохо распознавать и засчитывать упражнения, хотя выполняю идеально. Помогает перезапуск игры. В остальном нет нареканий. Отличное приложение. Ачивменты, фитпоинты. Все это прекрасно мотивирует добиваться лучших результатов.

  • The best out of the Farcry series, loved how they put references towards the awesome films of the 1980's: Terminator, Terminator 2:Judgement day, Predator, robocop, and Evil Dead. The most badass gun on the game is definitely the Terror 4000.The free roaming system on this game is amazing, with the cybernetic animals, Garissons, cyber enemies and the blood dragons.

  • July 2013 saw HalfBrick Studios releasing an updated version of their already wildly popular Fruit Ninja series. Adding multi-player and arcade scoring, as well as many player generated features, meant that the great game got even better. The adjustment of settings, the improved graphics and sensitivity and the updated Sensei's Swag section allowed a new alternative to...

  • Fruit Ninja from Halfbrick Studios came to Windows Phone 7 in December 2010, and although the Windows Phone user base was smaller than Android and iPhone, this version was universally accepted and became the go to norm for WP owners. The classic katana slasher that was already popular entered this format late, but was loved just as much. Carving your way through...

  • The iconic and highly addictive Fruit Ninja came was finally ported to Windows 8 OS back in October 2012, and using either a tablet with touch or your mouse, you could let your katana swing wildly at poor defenseless fruit again! The gameplay options that made this game a hit including Classic mode, where you simply try to get to the highest total,...

  • From the developer: "Battlewagon is a game where you send a wagon ...... into battle!! Vanquish the four Barons who have stolen your kingdom. Use the best medieval technology ever created -- the Battlewagon! You must destroy the Baron's fortifications with your trusty wagon, some amazing upgrades and a few bombs! Battlewagon features hours of...

  • Asphalt 5 for Windows Phone is a short and sweet Need for Speed -esque pocket racer that allows you the player to race, upgrade, and customize some of the worlds finest cars. The game features several real world locations stylized to fit the racing design, including Rome and Athens, among others, all with unique landmarks and visuals representative of each location. The...

  • Parking Mania is a sort of strategy simulation, where you are tasked to park various vehicles on 200 different levels varying mostly in small cities, rural farms, and occasional beachside roads. The top-down view allows you to perceive your vehicle completely, letting you manipulate the vehicle into varying difficulty parking positions. The crash sensor can be...

  • Forza Horizon series has been new addition to the juggernaut that is Forza, being compared to the less realistic Need for Speed series. Forza games are similar to Gran Turismo, where accuracy and real simulation are treated with high regard. Horizon games fit the market that Forza creators new they were missing. After a few years and great success with Horizons...

  • Luckily this gem was Free for me via the Xbox Games For Gold promotion. After playing it, I would happily pay $19.99 for it. Very fun fulfilling game which has a simple style to movements that makes it easy to navigate through the games terrain. The story is nicely set and the characters you pick up along the way all have their own appeal about them. If you are after...

  • This game is a virtual pinball game. You can get different themed games which include missions.The leader board lets see how you compare over your friends score.

  • As far as visual novels go, this one isn't an exception to our expectations. Navigation through the story is simple, you use the LT and RT to select positive or negative to certain story triggers. Thankfully, the developers either noticed that there are some English speakers taking part in their titles or they recruited new staff because many menus are...

  • Ori & The Blind Forest is one of the best games on the Xbox One so far. It's a visually stunning game with a touching story & challenging, but rewarding, gameplay. If you own an Xbox One, it's your duty to pick up this game & reward Microsoft for funding such a neat game. Here's hoping Ori becomes a franchise!

  • I haven't played any other rainbow six game until the first release and this game really stepped up the graphics and the Ranking system. I loved every part of this game. Terrorist Hunt was fun and amazing. Co-op lets you play with a fried in the story which is needed for Realistic Difficulty. They had nice sized multplayer maps which I liked. Definitely A fun...

  • Now that the servers are down for this game, the achievements are partly unobtainable. With that stated it is a fun game to play a slew of arcade classics. The games are challenging which is a plus. There are really only a handful of different achievement types and it's mostly just "do this", "now do it some more", "now do it more than that", "now do it so much that you hate...

  • A visual Novel about a person that spends all of their time sending Twitter messages and taking pictures. Occasionally this person will participate in robot fighting and I assume, takes some notes about them. And maybe even save the world with their robot knowledge. Oddly enough, this game doesn’t seem to have dramatically overt romantic overtones...

  • It reminds me a lot of ABP on PC. I would say a must buy for First Person Shoot something the not about World War it good ol Cops and Robbers.

  • I like how simple yet fun completing the courses can be but man they get hard so a guide is helpful.
