It’s an age old question, who would win in a fight? A Spartan or a Samurai? An Apache or a Ninja? Ghandi or the Pope? Ok, the last one is yet to be tested, but the rest all have answers courtesy of Deadliest Warrior.

“Prepare to be justiceded!” – DeathSpank, Hero to the Downtrodden, Vanquisher of Evil and Defender of Justice From the moment I heard about DeathSpank, I knew I had to play it.

Things that have made today a good day, 1: Another game was sent to me to review! 2: I’m eating Bacon… The game sent to me this time is “Future Wars” for the PC. I had some issues with Windows Vista being amazing as usual but it’s all good. Considering I have never really played a strategy game, for the purposes of this review I brought over my...

Did you ever buy a game that you have been waiting a year or so for and then been severely disappointed? I have, it’s happened a few times to me. That’s why even though I was so badly looking forward to this game, I still felt anxious as I handed over £50 for my Limited Collectors Edition of the new Survival Horror, Action game “Alan Wake” but I have to...
