To begin with there is the story, an expansive near future "

Just Cause 2

"Here at SquareGo we love games with strong narratives, unique storytelling techniques and groundbreaking mechanics. That said, sometimes we just love some mighty big explosions too. Just Cause 2 is all about having fun, it's a sandbox of chaos where"

Dark Void Preview

"The first thing that’s unlikeable about the Dark Void demo (available on PSN and XBLA now) is that the UI text is huge, but also thin enough in places it’s hard to read despite its size: You get the impression the demo is chapter 6 of"

Bayonetta

"Wow. There are very few games that can leave you speechless and perhaps a little confused upon completion but Bayonetta is certainly one of them. Once you've hacked and slashed your way through the game you'll have massacred hundreds of angels,"

Overlord 2

"Charm, it's a difficult concept, what can be hilarious, entertaining and absorbing to one person, can be irritating and off-putting to others. Overlord 2 is a game that desperately wants to be charming, the only problem is that it relies so heavily"

Preview: Alien Versus Predator 3

"Alien and Predator, those iconic symbols of hideous, gore-splattered violence are to receive a next gen overhaul, from original series developer Rebellion. Promising us mere mortals another instalment of face hugging, smart gunning, spine-tearing"

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Preview

"

Games based on comic books are always welcomed by the fans, but unfortunately their quality is often patchy at best. For every Spider-Man 2, there's an Iron Man, and for every Marvel vs. Capcom a Superman 64, the latter regularly hailed as one of"

Mass Effect 2

"Choose life, choose a class, choose stealth, choose diplomacy, choose garish yellow armour with matching helmet, choose a forking big gun, choose to sleep with blue women, choose your future.  Mass Effect remains one of the finest forays into"

"When Prototype first surfaced, it looked great but seemed a little too close to the increasingly common 'guy with superpowers has to save the day while making lots of karma choices' template. Thankfully, the development time has been used wisely and"
