Reviews

  • Buzz! Brain of Oz

    If you fancy yourself as an expert on Australiana, Buzz! Brain of Oz might be the go for you. Be careful, though, the questions do get rather obscure and tricky at times, and there's the odd brain stumper about the motherland in there too.

    Though definitely an improvement over its predecessor, this boxing game isn't without a few problems.

    With exciting new content across the board and plenty of it, Left 4 Dead 2 outdoes its predecessor and makes the zombie apocalypse an absolute blast.

    Assassin's Creed II is what you'd want an action sequel to be: bigger, better and more beautiful.

  • Ninja Blade

    This derivative action game is a bunch of silly, stylish fun.
