Civilisation Revolution (XBox 360) Comment Bubble

Published: Wed, 13th Aug 12:00PM

This is one of the hardest reviews I have ever had to write. Not because the game is especially difficult to explain, or rubbish, but rather because dragging myself away from the 360 long enough to come to work and actually type something out has been very difficult indeed.

Arrow Kung Fu Panda Comment Bubble

Published: Mon, 7th Jul 12:00PM

It's a sad fact of life that most computer games based on films are, well a bit rubbish really. They tend to be fast-coded tie-ins aimed at getting some extra cash out of the parents of youngsters who fall in love with a particular character - after all who needs decent gameplay when you've got such an undiscerning market? With this in mind, I opened Kung Fu Panda with some trepidation. And that was even before I realised it starred the vocal talents of Jack Black who, for my money, is one of the most irritating actors working today.
