area5_11.jpg

One of my favourite games of all time has just been released on Xbox Live Arcade. For those who have never played Rez before, it is an on-rails shooter by Sega made in the same style as games like Panzer Dragoon. Your character flies through a wireframe world shooting down everyone and everything.
Although the game […]

If there is one FPS this year to have gotten me excited, it’s Ubisoft’s Far Cry 2. We all know the original PC release was a fantastic title that broke boundaries in terms of what we expected graphically from the FPS genre - huge draw distances, amazing use of colour and great gameplay to boot.
