Tekken Tag Tournament 2 review: Another Tekken, another hit
Tekken is one of the leading series in the fighting game genre for over a decade now, and when we played its latest entry, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, we were treated to new characters, new combos, enhanced graphics and lots of new modes that really give the game extra value.

Sleeping Dogs review: Do Triad at home
They say you should let sleeping dogs lie, and for the most part this is good advice. But when it comes to Square Enix’s Sleeping Dogs, the new open-world cop drama action game, it is best to grab these dogs by their collars and shake them till they wake up (please don’t try it on actual slumbering hounds).

Lollipop Chainsaw review: Might satisfy your sweet tooth, but not your thirst for action
Lollipops and chainsaws don’t usually go well together; one brings up gleeful imageries of cute, childish things, while the other is a tool of destruction, gore and violence (I’ll let you figure out which one is which).

NeverDead review: Being an immortal isn’t all that grand
It’s not easy being an Immortal in an ever changing world. Being safe from death and old age might be nice for the first hundred years, but watching everything you know and love disappear in the mists of time isn’t a something you can easily live with. If you have any doubt, just ask Bryce – NeverDead’s undying protagonist,...
