Syndicate is a reboot of the classic 1993 game made by Bullfrog productions on the Amiga which many people will fondly remember.
This reboot is a First person shooter with an emphasis on co-op play. The plot remains true to the original universe set in 2069 with the population all having Dart 6 chips imbedded into their brains which enables them to control the digital world around them. Personal Information and money is also facilitated with these chips but the syndicates that feed the data begin a war set on greed …

After a long wait and an extensive PR campaign Battlefield 3 is finally here. With over 5 million copies sold and 10 million copies shipped it has done pretty well for itself but the game hasn’t been without a few launch hiccups.

It’s hard to talk about Battlefield 3 and not compare it to the Call of Duty Modern Warfare series. Both are set in the modern times, are set in similar locations and the single player campaigns are pretty much the same but when you get into the multiplayer Battlefield …

How do you make the sequel to the greatest super-hero video game of all time? Well that’s was the question on the mind of many when UK developer Rocksteady scored big with the 2009 smash Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Where Rocksteady succeeded with Arkham Asylum was to make you actually feel like Batman – The World’s Greatest Detective (TM). My Game Of The Year for 2009, mixed stealth, puzzles, exploration, gadgetry and being a badass together superbly.
I therefore had massive hopes for the sequel, Arkham City when it was announced as surely …

The Mark of The Assassin DLC for Dragon Age 2 has finally arrived bringing with it fresh new areas to explore along with a very well written and fresh storyline that makes a welcome part of the game.
Like the previous DLC pack for Dragon Age 2 you will find the questline waiting for you in Hawkes house and once selected the story will begin with a chat taking place between Varric and the Chantry Seeker much like the main plot of the game
Not giving away too many spoilers the story …

The bar was set incredibly high in the original game of the series Demons Souls, a game which is incredibly hard and frustrating and will test the mental aptitude of even the most hardcore gamer.
With lush graphics and a sense of loneliness that no other game can match Dark Souls is the spiritual successor brought to us by From Software.

Dark Souls is an experience that will not be to the taste of the majority of gamers out there. It is an incredibly tough and unforgiving game. Make no mistake you …

With the start of a new football season upon us it’s soon time for the hopes and dreams we’ve been holding onto all summer long to be crushed by the realisation that our beloved team aren’t quite the worldbeaters we’d like them to be. But thankfully it’s also time for EA to release the latest yearly update in the FIFA franchise, so is the game more like Barcelona or Barnet? Read on to find out…

I must admit that I am guilty of being a gaming snob.
My first thought upon seeing screen shots of Burnout Crash was how is a top down arcade release driving game going to deliver an experience that translates to fans of Burnout Paradise and Need for Speed? You are lacking the spectacular car models we love, high speed chases, and free roam ability. What are we going to get from this title? Well Criterion Games has …

Playable on the show floor at the eurogamer expo was Operation Guillotine, a brillaint single-player  mission taken from Battlefield 3 set on the outskirts of Tehran. You play as Sgt Henry Blackburn of the 1st recon marines and our mission is to provide back up to the assault on a apartment block being used as an enemy base. After a lot of talking on the radio the order comes in and you find yourself having to leg it down a hill and under a bomb-blasted overpass as enemy fire rains …

The first thing about F1 2011 you may notice is that the car handling has received attention. Even a Driving Sim noob like me can play it and not spin out at every corner. Of course there are plenty of variations of difficulty you can choose ranging from easy to hard but you can also customise your settings like auto break off/on etc…
So these setting are very reminiscent of Dirt 3 then but this is a F1 simulator and it does a superb job. From when you first start the …
