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: The Cursed Crusade

Ever since playing the original Assassin’s Creed, I have become a little obsessed with the Templars and their order – reading books of fiction and watching documentaries on the History Channel. I love the whole idea of the Crusades and this Holy order, so when The Cursed Crusade flew threw my letterbox I was trembling with anticipation. Yet could this game’s title be a little more apt than most…
