Call Of Duty: Ghosts represents everything that is wrong in the games industry

Art/Call of Duty/Call of Duty: Ghosts/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. Getting this out of the way from the outset: I haven’t played Call Of Duty: Ghosts. There’s no review that’s going to go live on Digitally Downloaded once the embargo lifts, and I’ve got no inclination to buy the game. I’ve played previous Call Of Duty…

Review by Matt S. Back when the Wii was the bee’s knees, Wii Fit was a revelation. For a relatively small investment in a balance board consumers got access to a fun little package of fitness minigames that genuinely offered a basic fitness regime that could help people lose weight…

Europa Universalis/Europa Universalis IV/expansion/expansion pack/The Conquest of Paradise

Europa Universalis IV is without a doubt one of the finest strategy games we’ve played in some time. It’s a game that essentially offers endless depth, which is why it’s so impressive that there’s even more to come via the first (comprehensive) expansion pack. We’ve done two reviews of Europa…

Review by Andrew M. I didn’t really know what to expect when loading up Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate for the first time. With this being my first taste of the uber-popular Castlevania series, I was pleasantly surprised and taken back to the side scrolling adventures I…

Review by Max S. Silent Valley: Mystery Mansion HD is a video game. A point-and-click adventure game, to be precise. And that’s about all there is to say about it. It’s a video game that I installed on my iPad and played for a few minutes and didn’t dislike. Then…

Review by Harvard L. Most fishing games fall into one of two categories. On one side there are sport fishing games, which take liberties from reality to ramp up the excitement of fishing by adding time limits and high scores to chase. On the other side of the spectrum are…

Review by Matt S. As much as the traditionalists would hate me for saying this, there are times where I would prefer to play a game using a nice, big touch screen. There are certain times where a human’s ability to directly interact with an object will provide superior precision…

Review by Chris I. With the console release of Batman: Arkham Origins just behind us, I stumbled across the iOS version of the title, noticed that it was a free download and decided to give it a go. Without any knowledge of the game prior to the download, I went…

Review by Matt S. Straight Right deserves recognition for being the best developer in the industry when it comes to porting games to the Wii U. Its port of Mass Effect 3 was a tragic tale; despite producing the finest version of one of the finest games of the generation…

Opinion by Matt S. It’s been a long time since I cared about a big game release on the PlayStation Vita. Reading that sentence you might assume that I’m not playing the console any longer, but that couldn’t be further from the truth; if anything the Vita is my most…
