Dark 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

Bayonetta Review - Xbox 360

(First Published January 8th 2010 at Ace Gamez) - If I had to pick just one word from the English language to describe Bayonetta, it would be “dizzying”. Platinum Games has pulled out every trick from the game developer’s playbook to ensure that each enemy encounter, platforming section and boss battle leaves you on the edge of your seat with… Continue

Lego Rock Band Review - Xbox 360



(First Published at Ace Gamez) Alright I’ll admit it. I genuinely thought Harry Potter was next in line for an extreme plastic makeover, so you can add me to the ranks of gamers who were genuinely surprised when publisher Warner Bros. announced Lego Rock Band earlier this year. It seemed like an odd direction for the series, but after spending some time with the game, the pairing really does… Continue

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. But rather than champion these studios, the typical reaction is one of scepticism from gamers who feel burned by a lacklustre title or by promises the developer failed to keep. Just look at Sega which,… Continue

Tekken 6 Review - Xbox 360

(Originally published at Ace Gamez) Summarising the entire back story of the Tekken series is a massive task thanks to the fact that we never really know which character’s ending is considered canon. Plus, the whole ‘daddy issues’ chess game of power between the Mishima bloodline has more twists, turns and double entendres than an interview with Hideo Kojima. It is seriously convoluted and, at times,… Continue
