Quantum Theory: Review

www.facebook.com/vuepointuk

The third person shooter is a genre that has become saturated with countless entries, so it takes something pretty spectacular in order to stand out in the crowd. Games like Gears of War, or Uncharted are the leading titles in the genre for their respective consoles, and both have set the benchmark for both gameplay and visuals. Unfortunately, Team Tachyon’s sci-fi shooter Quantum Theory cannot hope to keep up with its competitors. 

Blacksite: Area 51

Reviewing a game is much easier when the creator has done it for you. Harvey Smith of Midway Studios claimed that the game deserved every bad review it got, and got fired from the company soon after. According to him, the development schedule was ruined, meaning they never actually able to test the finished project properly. Unfortunately for the studio, firing the guy who pointed out problems, doesn’t make the problems go away, and by golly are there lots of them in Blacksite: Area 51.

Skyfall

After the success of Casino Royale, and the atrocity that was Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in Skyfall. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down. Was it to follow the route of the first? Or the crumble like the second? The truth is, it does neither. It actually blows Casino Royale out of the water, and is undoubtedly one of the best Bond films to date.

So which is better? - Asylum or City?

It's been a great few years for the caped crusader. Christopher Nolan has shown Batman in a new light with his Dark Knight trilogy, and has had some incredible responses. As for the video game world, we have had the Arkham games. First we had Arkham Asylum, then Arkham City. Both games were fantastic, with brilliant gameplay, story and presentation, but I now ask...which is better?

Marvel: Avengers Assemble

And so we’ve had it. The great clash of the year. Marvel’s response to The Dark Knight Rises. Marvel: Avengers Assemble is the blockbuster of Marvel Studios, bringing together some of the best loved Marvel superheroes to fight side-by-side and stop whatever wants to conquer earth next. Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye and Black Widow, all band together under Nick Fury in order to deliver some edge-of-your-seat action that you don’t want to miss.
