PREVIEW: Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning

I like Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. I like it a lot. Now usually when I get a chance to preview a game when I come back to write about it, we usually go with the Death By Robots faithful of ‘what I think of the game, I will take you through step by step what I did’: “I created my character and then I launched the game and then I swung my sword about and then I spoke to an NPC”… that kind of thing. But not today, oh no.

The Real Reason the Next Console Generation is Exciting

I’ll never forget the conversation I had with the cashier in the game shop in the small, unremarkable town I grew up in. It was the dawn of the Xbox 360 era, and up until that point I had been a fence-sitter in the previous generation’s Xbox/PS2 war. As a result I had been rather non-committal as to which console to jump on board with for the next generation, but something was about to turn the tide.

REVIEW: Sonic Generations

Back in 1991 SEGA unleashed their new mascot, a speedy blue hedgehog named Sonic. Sonic sped onto the Megadrive and Master System, kicking Alex Kidd to the kerb – becoming one of the 16bit generations most favourite heroes. Unfortunately time has not been kind to one of my gaming heroes.

REVIEW: Football Manager 2012 (PC)

155 hours…

The game has been available for only 16 days now, and 6.5 of those days have been spent playing Football Manager 12… and it is for that reason that my review of the game comes somewhat belatedly.

[Editor's note - since writing this, which was admittedly a few weeks ago - sorry, Ed has racked up a total of 531 hours in 2.5 months...].
