I love cars. Always have. My first “proper” job was working as warranty manager for a Japanese car firm in Dublin. The job was complete shit and was more like being an accountant, but I was in the motor industry, where I wanted to be and I loved it. The company itself was heavily involved in the World Rally Championship [...]
Life is a funny old thing. A lot of ups and downs revolving around doing something you probably don’t like for eight hours a day, five days a week in the hopes that you will have more ups and less downs. The Sims managed to take this exact process that most people do every day and turn it into one [...]
It must be an odd position to be in when it becomes clear that a game you have made has made an impact, changed a genre. I imagine it’s a combination of absolute elation mixed with a nagging trepidation of asking yourself “where do we go next.” This is the situation Naughty Dog found themselves in in late 2009 when [...]
This review is for the PS3 version of Battlefield 3. What do you think of when you think Battlefield? In the context of games that is. I think of massive maps, vehicles, hilarious carnage, and the ability to do what I please. This is mostly taken from the multiplayer modes of the previous games but the original Battlefield: Bad Company [...]
Tower Defence is a funny old genre, it has existed in a weird limbo where almost noone was willing to pay for it for well over a decade. Recently though, tower defence has been coming into it’s own when mixed when other genres like RPGs and third person action games. Our American pals can savour one such fusion with Double [...]
It’s hard to try and impress on people that when I began gaming on home computers it was absolutely dominated by small English studios. Some of them even managed to find success on the consoles which were mainly dominated by Japanese titles. Team 17 were one of the English titans during this period, mainly thanks to their Worms series and [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed anything other than the back of my eyelids or my bank balance. Both get a 1 out of 10 by the way. So considering I’m the resident car nut as Evan would describe me, I’ve decided to put my reviewing hat and driving gloves back on to put Turn 10’s latest effort, Forza [...]
Sony have gotten quite a bit of mileage with releasing side-games for some of their most popular franchises on the PSP. Syphon Filter, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, Resistance, Killzone are just some of the games that got off-shoots on the handheld. They aren’t stopping their either, two of the most hotly anticipated games on the PS Vita are from [...]
It can’t be easy putting a massive trilogy like Gears of War to bed. It has been Epic’s world for the better part of a decade and is second only to Halo when it comes to Xbox 360 exclusives so the stakes are pretty bloody high to make it something special. This won’t be the last time we’ll be seeing [...]
As an Irish person sitting on the Western edge of Europe it is probably no surprise that the sport of American football is something of an enigma to me. I can appreciate the vast spectacle and the generally horrible mistakes that are made during the Super Bowl but the stop-start nature of the game never had that much appeal to [...]
