PC Review
by Andrew Berry
Since Half-Life 2 was officially released on November 16th 2004, all other FPS games have become a blur. The original Half-Life grossed eight million sales and collected over 50 âgame of the yearâ titles. The simple combination of story telling and action was highly addictive and set a new benchmark for all FPS titles that followed. Due to strong support amongst the online community, the tactical shooter âCounter Strikeâ was born as a half-life modification. Counter Strike was, at one time, the most played online game. Other âmodsâ also spawned from the Half-Life engine, further proving how versatile the engine could be.
Those are some incredibly high standards to live up to. After five long years in development Half-Life 2 really had to be something special. Thankfully, it... Read On |

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
PlayStation 2 review
by Hillelman
You are probably already playing this game. If you arenât then you certainly should be. It took me a while to get to this one because I was busy with other games and stuff (yeah it is a tough life), but now I can safely report what anyone else who has played it will likely tell you; Grand Theft Auto- San Andreas is a phenomenally great game....

Drift-a-mania!
by Mugwai
It's been 18 years since the inception of the original arcade classic "Outrun", and Sega have decided if George "Mc Beardy" Lucas can churn out another sequel long after our pubescent era has come and gone, why can't they? Now I'm sure you're asking, is this sequel relevant?, is it a fun, worthwhile racer? , and can it really compete with it's contemporary arcade racers (Burnout3). Yes, hell yes and hmmm (note: stroke chin when saying hmmm).... Read On |

WWE Smackdown vs. Raw
PlayStation 2 Review
by Hillelman
While the first few games in the Smackdown series (which began on the original Playstation) always looked flashy, their gameplay often did very little for me. But the games have continued to slowly improve, to the point where now I believe they fully deserve their massive popularity. Last yearâs Smackdown Here Comes The Pain is held in very high regard by many gamers, especially those who are also wrestling fans. So this yearâs effort - Smackdown vs. Raw has some pretty big âwrasslinâ boots to fill.... Read On |

If, like this reviewer, you purchased X-Box prior to the release of the much improved controller S and have been lumbered with the big black housebrick original controller (also known as Duke, man they love their PCP at Microsoft), then you will definitely want for the superior condensed version. Once you do upgrade, itâs impossible to go back.... Read On |

Halo 2. Xbox Review
Hype this
by Hillelman
Halo was the first game I played on my (then) shiny new Xbox system. I was seriously impressed. The graphics were amazing for the time. The game was so much fun; the funky physics engine, cruising around in the warthog, lobbing grenades...awesome stuff! I played it through twice in a row, on the harder difficulty the second time through. It was a beauty. Now here we are with the second Halo game. Can it match up to the thrill of the first? ...

Although it is nice to have all of the classic Mario platform games available on the GBA, many veteran gamers have already played those titles to death in their original incarnations.
