A friend recently asked me, “Will Dragon Age blow me away?” Well, my review of Dragon Age has to start with this caveat: There is very little competition in the serious RPG genre these days.
I mean, on Xbox 360 there is Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as the forerunner. What else has there been? Two Worlds, which I haven’ . . .
Do you remember the kids’ book? It’s a simple little tale, but upon re-reading it in advance of seeing the film, I saw Max as a frowning, potentially angry little boy (in so far as you can read-in to the meaning of the images). The big screen version of Where The Wild Things Are takes that idea and runs with it: Max is an imaginat . . .

Although they’ve called it Worms 2: Armageddon, it shouldn’t be confused with either Wor . . .
Ghostbusters hit the screens when I was a pre-teen, and instantly became one of my all-time favourite films. Now, when I first heard about Ghostbusters: The Video Game, I wasn’t sure what to think — movie-related games are rarely very good. But when it was said that Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis would be penning the script t . . .
