Sam & Max Episode 6 Bright Side of the Moon Review

Eight months ago the great dog-rabbit duo of Sam and Max returned to thrill gamers with 6 episodes of Season 1. The first episode, Culture Shock, started off quite well, with the 2nd episode remaining fresh. The 3rd and 4th episodes hit the borderline of boredom through repetition. The games were still quite enjoyable but you ended up visiting the same locations and interacting with the same characters and solving the same sort of puzzles. Things picked up once again with the 5th episode and the first season of the return of Sam and Max ends on a high note with episode 6: Bright Side of the Moon. In... (more...)

Resident Evil 4 Review

Anyone who loves a shooter game will have a thing for the Resident Evil series. It has been around from quite a long time and has spawned a movie series to starring Milla Jovovich. Background: Resident Evil was first released on the GameCube in 2002 and was later ported to the PS2. And now the game will hit the PC. As the game is a port, some parts may be a little hard to control. Graphics: For a PC game, if not great, the graphics of Resident Evil are good. The environments may seem a little untidy and unreal sometimes, but the characters and the weapons look quite real when you play. The blood... (more...)

Racing Simulation 3 Review

There are maybe twenty or thirty people in the entire world that can drive F1 cars well. For the rest of us, there are simulations like RS3, where you get to race a F1 monster on 16 demanding circuits. Racing Simulation 3 is not officially licensed and so you will not find any real-world tracks or drivers. However most of the tracks are the same in layout as the original tracks, for e.g. the New Zealand track is actually Albert Park in Australia. As in most simulations, you have the options to fiddle with your car…change the gear ratios, tires, angles… Single player has the normal options... (more...)

Psychonauts Review

Brain Damage Psychonauts is one of the most eclectic games that has ever been released. Tim Schafer, the tripster behind Grim Fandago, is the man behind the art direction of Psychonauts. The landscapes, the terrain and the entire games feel are miles ahead in terms of imagination and gameplay than any of the recent crop of recycled titles.

Young odd shaped creatures are being trained by Coach Oleander, who has two eyes of varying colours. Raz aka Rasputin, is a runaway who has infiltrated... (more...)
