Ace of Spades Review
Upon first glance, Ace of Spades looks brilliant. Team Fortress 2 and Minecraft combined with that retro look that’s doing so well these days? What maniacal videogaming Dr Frankenstein stitched those two things together and got away with it? Of…

Far Cry 3 Review
In one sentence: Brutal, visceral survival taking Far Cry back to its glory days with buckets of blood and adrenaline. Far Cry 3 is the story of Jason, a thrill-seeking rich kid kidnapped by twisted pirate warlord Vaas and plunged…
