Splinter Cell: Conviction Preview by Josh Wilson | 30-06-09

Review

Sam Fisher is back, and he is pissed. Not in the normal ‘terrorists are threatening the world, I had best utilise my super stealth skills and government gadgetry to save the day’ sort of way. No, this time it is personal. About as personal as it gets; Sam has gone rogue, leaving behind his government sanctioned routes to take to the streets, find the killer of his daughter and teach them a lesson. Probably involving his fists, and maybe even a car battery and their testicles.

Brutal Legend Preview by Brian Ashford | 25-06-09

Have you have ever looked at the surreal landscapes adorning the covers of classic heavy metal albums? If so then you will have some idea what to expect from Brutal Legend; set amongst fantasy grasslands and mountain ranges scored with deep chasms glowing with the fires of hell. Skeletons and demons stalk these plains, taking and enslaving all humans they can find. Standard procedure in such fantasy lands requires a fantasy saviour. However our hero is no barbarian in a loincloth, and no elf with a whistle can hold back this rising darkness. No, Brutal Legend is the song of a roadie, his only weapons? A pair of axes; one battleaxe and his guitar!

Champions Online Closed Beta Impressions by Joel Spencer | 25-06-09

Cryptic Studios bucked the Superhero movie game curse somewhat in 2004 by releasing a MMORPG based around the lives of Superheros rather than one or two in particular. Despite a few teething problems revolving around players creating in game avatars that infringed on Marvel and DC Comic's characters, the game was a success. However Cryptic Studios have now handed the reigns over to NC Soft and have licensed the Champions rule set for an entirely new MMORPG.

Assassin's Creed II: First Impressions by Dave Cook | 22-06-09

What a difference time makes. When the first trailer of Ubisoft Montreal's Assassin's Creed was unveiled in 2007, gamers the world over salivated at the prospect of an immersive, sprawling stealth epic the likes of which hadn't been seen since Hideo Kojima first graced us with Metal Gear Solid.
