Here we go again people. It’s movie tie-in time. X-men Origins: Wolverine, which – like the film – covers the Wolverine back-story in some detail, with plenty of gore and over the top violence. If you like fighting combos Wolverine has them in droves, it’s just a shame the game...

Tut…sigh…groan…grumble…yawn. There are times when industrious perseverance and dedication to the written craft can quickly descend to craving the submission of the 5 aforementioned words as a full and printable description for a videogame review. And, unsurprisingly, the temptation to implement...

Another high-profile summer blockbuster from Hollywood gets the licensed videogame tie-in treatment as Activision and Z-Axis offer up X-Men: The Official Game for our collective ‘entertainment’.

Urban Chaos has slid unnoticed onto the gaming scene amid a deafening lack of fanfare; patiently twiddling its inventive first-person shooter thumbs while waiting for some form of consumer reaction. Thus far, it hasn’t really had any; slipping in and out of the ELSPA’s Top-20 All-Format chart within...
