The Biggie: Look, I know you are still trying to get that Platinum trophy or 1000 Achievement Points in Assassin’s Creed III but listen, there are more games coming out this year. We are right in the middle of the holiday schedule. I bet you didn’t even know Need For Speed: Most Wanted…
Jonathan Soltan analyses the gaming industry as it stands. With the recent announcement that the original Mass Effect will be released on the PS3, I started thinking how the 360 doesn’t have all that many exclusives. With the exception of Gears of War and Halo, there are no other huge franchises. This, in turn,…
Gaming Editor Fergal Carroll tells us why he won’t be purchasing the latest Resi installment. Resident Evil is one of the most recognisable video game franchises still around today.

Playing the demo for about half an hour did nothing to change this opinion. Yes,…
Gaming editor Fergal Carroll serves up men in shorts, pandas and indie darlings for this week’s gaming menu. The Biggie(s): The biggest game that is being released this side of the pond this week is the one and only FIFA 13. If you listened to me last time and brushed up on your mad FIFA…
