Review

Dark Void is a new game from developer Airtight Games, trying to bring something new to the; "take cover, shoot bad guys over chest-high walls" games that have cropped up in recent years. They do this, by adding some fun flying sections to the game, and a verticle cover system. It's quite an interesting concept, but is it done well enough to be a good new franchise?

Hands On: Heavy Rain by Michael Black | 09-02-10

What’s most remarkable about Heavy Rain is that it’s remarkable before you’ve got the controller in your hands. The characters are captured to a higher level of detail than we’ve ever seen in a PS3 game. Every voice you hear, whether it’s someone you can talk to or just someone in a passing crowd, is coming from the lips of a virtual facsimile of the voice actor.

Darksiders by Michael Black | 02-02-10

The great thing about Darksiders having so many clear influences is you get to have what you love about a great swathe of games in one place; the visceral satisfaction from God of War, the balletic combat of Devil May Cry and the gadget fuelled exploration of Zelda. These don't get in the way of each other, are all done extremely well and all feature in Darksiders. You play the game wondering why nobody mixed those things before. It’s like witnessing the first time someone put peanut butter and jam together and om-nom-nomming all over it.
