OXCGN’s Resident Evil: Revelations Review

Is a port of a 3DS game a revelation?

resident-evil-revelations-oxcgn1Not since Dead Space when it was released in 2008 have I so enjoyed meticulously traversing the innards of a derelict ship in search of answers whilst raising ever more questions.

Slowly wandering isolated corridors, entering every new room with a sense of dread that behind any corner, inside any object or air vent, a grotesque creature could emerge.

OXCGN’s Metal Gear Rising: Jetstream DLC Review

OXCGN’s Metal Gear Rising: Jetstream DLC Review

Sam I am

Jetstream_oxcgn1Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was no walk in the park when it came to difficulty.

Those enthusiasts who love a challenge certainly got their money’s worth in the 4-6 hour run of the game and whilst Jetstream Sam only sits at roughly an hour long, it surely won’t disappoint.

As the title of the DLC suggests, roles are swapped and you’re put in the mechanical suit of Jetstream Sam, the suave Brazilian powe house with a certain flare when it comes to combat.

OXCGN’s Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Review

OXCGN’s Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Review

Shot Down, or a Blaze of Glory?

gunslinger_oxcgn1.5I once heard that more cowboys were killed in the movies than there were actual cowboys in real history.

If that is so, the downloadable Ubisoft game Call of Juarez: Gunslinger has probably quadrupled the number of dead cowboys in the mythological Wild Wild West.

After the unfortunate detour that was Call of Juarez: The Cartel, this game has gone back to where the series belongs…in the cliché riddled frontier of America in the late 1800′s.

There are certain periods of history that are just perfect for video games, and the Wild West is one of them.

gunslinger_oxcgn1The big change to the series this time is that it is a downloadable on Steam, Xbox Live Arcade, and the Playstation Network…and is a lot cheaper.

Does that mean that Ubisoft have skimped on the quality of the title, looking to make easy dough?

OXCGN’s Star Trek: The Video Game Review

Dammit Jim, I’m a movie tie-in, not an innovative game!

Star Trek cover artHollywood seems to be stuffing us full of sequels, prequels and re-boots these days. Most of them are terrible, but once in a while a good one sneaks through. Star Trek was one such successful re-boot, and now we have the sequel rapidly approaching.

Simply titled Star Trek: The Video Game, the game was released as a tie in to the new movie, Star Trek: Into Darkness.  It is set sometime between the two movies and promised a whole lot for Star Trek fans. It promised, but did it deliver?

Well the uninspired title gives you a hint, unfortunately.
