Battlefield 3, Battlefield 3, Butterfeels 3. Fuck me. Battlefield 3's not only copy of COD because of its storyline, gameplay style and settings, no no. It seems no matter what I say, nothing is going to colour the fan boy's opinion of BF3. BF3's fan base is just that, a base, neatly shielding the game from my fiery wrath with their ridiculous arguments. Screaming from the roof tops in a laughable prepubescent voice, "BF3 t00k wat COD d!d n mad3 !z b3tT3r". You know what no, no it didn't. Nor has Medal of Honour and speaking of it, nor has any of the other Call of Duty's or Duties however you what to spell it. Since COD4 the FPS has been saturated with the notion that 'If we kill one of the main characters off, that will be a shook to the system' unfortunately that has become as unexpected as the Sun rising in the fucking morning.

Raise shields, arm the phaser banks and plot a course to victory in Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter, the new science fiction empire building game from Kerberos Productions and Paradox Interactive. Sword of the Stars II is the sequel to the cult strategy favorite Sword of the Stars and continues the franchise emphasis on meaningful strategic choices, thrilling space combat and galactic conquest in a universe rich with personality and history.

Driver: San Francisco is the 5th installment (4th for PC) of Ubisoft Reflections Driver series, and continues the story of the series' main protagonist John Tanner from where it left off in Driv3r. Driver: San Francisco (DSF) returns to its roots by being a driving only game, losing the ability to go out on foot, though you will be leaving your car often through an interesting feature that I believe is unique to this game. It does however keep the previous games sandbox style of play and allows you to choose between playing various side missions, continuing the main story line or just simply driving around causing mayhem... because that's what all cops do, right? Lets see if this game can make up for its predecessor's abysmal ratings.

Paradox Interactive and Arrowhead Studios have exciting news for Magicka fans, straight from the Inn's Mouth: Everybody's favorite magical multiplayer massacre is taking on an all-new adventure in Magicka: The Stars are Left. Designed for players who love to craft the hundreds of different spells available in Magicka, this new campaign will pit up to four wizards at once against a horror-mystery inspired by the popular Cthulhu Mythos. The Stars are Left will boast a much requested feature from the players - a new adventure campaign, including several terrifying new enemies, bosses awakened from the depths of insanity, and several other miscellaneous Miskatonic minions. Other spoofs ending in "-craft" may or may not also be included.

You know I'm getting bloody fed up of completely disregarding a game because of its art style. I hear about a game like Gatling Gears, an idiosyncratic shooter from a bird's eye perspective, which doesn't sound that great; but interesting. Then for some bloody reason or another they whack a steam-punk art style in, I hate steam-punk. It's like if a man fell into a pile of pluming equipment then was paid a ridiculous amount of money because it became fashionable for some absurd reason.

Once upon a time, everything was well and fine. The baker baked his bread, the brewer brewed his ale. The children were playing outside and aunt Margaret was upstairs in the attic doing what she always does there. Nobody had a worry on their mind. Until the calamity. This catastrophe of epic proportions literally shredded the world as everyone knew it to pieces. An infestation of hostile creatures and the death of pretty much everyone else later, it is up to one hero to restore the world to it's former glory. This renegade of gun and sword is simply called: Kid.
