Dave Cook posted a blog postDark Void Review - Xbox 360
First Published 16th January here at Ace Gamez – Fusing several game mechanics together into one title rarely pays off, as shown by the tirade of awful driving sections in shoot-em-ups over the years. The majority of these sections really water down the overall package and you are often left wondering why the developer bothered with them at all. Taking this into consideration, Dark…See More

Assassin's Creed II Review - Xbox 360
(First Published at Ace Gamez) Admitting you were wrong takes a lot of guts in this industry. Any developer willing to throw its hands up and come clean about its shortcomings is to be applauded.
