Point and click adventure fans are waiting for A Vampyre Story since 2004 when the game was first announced as the resurrection of the adventure genre.

It’s been a long while since I’ve played a good game based on the James Bond movie franchise and this year’s TreyArch title published by Activision, Quantum of Solace seemed to be The Game – at least that was the impression I’ve had after playing the super-cool but way too short QoS demo on my [...]

Just imagine: you can barely hear the tens of thousands of supporters chanting your name – the sound your heart beating makes, like the loudest drum in the world, that sound is everything you hear.

There are basically just two games battling for the number one spot as the best football management game and the battle was always won by Sports Interactive’s Football Manager. However, Electronic Arts managed to bring us some huge surprises recently, culminating with an almost flawless version of their football simulation game, as you can see [...]

For me, the original Fallout game and its sequel represented some of the better things that happened during my “gamer” days. For me, these two titles represented the best two RPG games I have ever played (yes, better than Diablo or any other game you can think about). For me, Fallout deserved to be placed [...]

The Sims is one of the most successful game franchises ever created but that’s not enough for Electronic Arts: new games slightly based on the Sims concept are being developed and, God help us – a Sims movie will hit the cinemas in the future!

The highly controversial sandbox game developed by Rockstar initially for the PlayStation 2 has found its way, after a two years long wait, on PC systems.

During the last few years, the battle between Electronic Arts and Konami for the title of the best football simulation game was won by the latter and FIFA never seemed to at least have the desire of improvement. However, this year we were pleasantly surprised to see that Electronic Arts did a wonderful job with [...]
