5/5

Perhaps the best thing about Mass Effect 3 is that Bioware has gone into it with all guns blazing. Like Gears of War 3 it’s been designed as a grand finale to a story that has kept gamers gripped for the best part of five years, and like Gears of War 3 it doesn’t take…

4/5

If your idea of an engaging fantasy role-play game is to spend several hours in an open-world environment gradually increasing your skills and armour in a leisurely fashion by picking off moderately threatening monsters, then you’ll find Dark Souls a chilling shock to the system – this is no Skyrim.

No prizes for guessing who’s going to be crowned Formula One champion this year – but if you fancy the idea of rewriting the Grand Prix leaderboard yourself, you can do it on Windows PC, Xbox 360 or Sony PlayStation 3 with Codemasters’ latest take on the world’s most famous race circuits. Last year was…

Here’s the key question about Rockstar’s quite staggering L.A. Noire: just how much of a game is it? There’s little doubt that it makes a fascinating piece of work to watch, but whether a game is the right medium for it is a broader question. ThrillerFirst, let’s look at what you get. L.A. Noire is…
