The first batch of Batman: Arkham City screenshots are live and have appeared on flicker. They're all in there, Batman, Two-Face, Harley Quinn and Catwoman. Purrrrrfect. Head over to there (here) for the rest.

Shank Review

The developer’s of Shank at Klei Entertainment may count themselves lucky that it’s the year 2010. Violence in video games just doesn’t seem to shock people anymore. Sure, every couple of years a ‘No Russian’ mission rares its contentious head but other than that, blood, guts, chainsaws to the face, gouging eyes and dismembering limbs just doesn’t provoke any kind of a reaction from people anymore. Violence is taken as the norm nowadays and has become as compulsory and indelible in games as the stalwart explosive red barrels and cheesy dialogue. I feel sorry for the Thrill Kills, Manhunts and ...

Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light Review

I can’t remember the last time Lara Croft satisfied me (not like that!). The Tomb Raider franchise and its iconic protagonist have been somewhat indifferent and apathetic over the last few years.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days Review

It’s something of a miracle that the Kane & Lynch franchise has managed a sequel. Given the acrimonious sh**storm that surrounded the original game following THAT now infamous Gamespot review, Eidos and IO Interactive have taken a real calculated risk with Dog Days. Dog Days is IO’s attempt to take charge of the franchise and justify its existence after a pretty average start compounded by contention and debate. The only debate Dog Days raises however is whether or not the developers should bother with a third Kane & Lynch, as the game fails to propel the franchise forward, sacrificing gameplay ...

TGL Move Hands-On Round-Up

Recently we had the opportunity to get hands-on with Sony's new Move controller. The device itself was surprisingly light, it'll be affordable and overall we were very impressed. We also think that you will all enjoy it and today we published 8 seperate articles. The articles were originally one large piece but we decided to break it all up and give each game the full attention it deserves. Although on the night some of the people there didn't even know what the Playstation plus was, hell, some never heard of the game Oblivion, we still had a blast and now ...
