I don’t wear glasses… although I probably should. Maybe even for driving – watch out people of Kent! Every day I sit at my computer and either write things for the website you now currently find yourself viewing, or editing articles and images, or producing the witty, charismatic enigma that resides in TheGameJar’s soc...

Motocross Madness is a new arcade title on the Xbox Live marketplace. You take to many types of motorbikes across many different landscapes, from the pyramids of Egypt to the deserts of Australia, then to the snowy hills of Iceland. Take your Xbox Live avatar out of its comfort zone and onto the track. Motocross Madnes... Read More »
If you’re looking for a Trials style game to play and you don’t own a Xbox 360, there aren’t many options. Fortunately, Urban Trials Freestyle looks to bring a similar experience to the PS3, and mostly succeeds. The fundamentals of the Trials experience are fully realized in Urban Trials Freestyle. Yo...

As a console the WiiU is a technical oddity. Everything about the latest Nintendo offering seems baffling, be it the controller, the timing of its release, or even the user interface. But we’ve learned the hard way to not underestimate the power of those crazy, sexy Japanese visionaries, and so a few months after the r... Read More »
Far Cry 3 was a ruddy great game, wasn’t it? Now, if only some bright spark could combine those mechanics with the same cheese and retro nostalgia people in their mid-twenties project onto the 1980s. The effort would hopefully create the world’s greatest, most amazingly self-deprecating but ultimately delightful videog... Read More »
Comic books and games have always had in my mind a rocky relationship. So many games have offered great promise, with the chance to control some of my favourite characters. Alas so few have delivered on these promises and instead we have had a mixed bag of lacklustre games. Yet in recent years we’ve had the pleas... Read More »
Have you ever played Pac-Man? Okay, okay, sure, but have you ever played Pac-Man… on a phone? Pac-Man Tournaments landed on Google Play not long ago and it’s full of that great taste you crave. Despite his ubiquity on other platforms, a decent Pac-Man title was hard to come across on Android devices. Google... Read More »
If anyone on the internet can remember longer than a week ago you will be aware of the original Dead Island’s dramatic and touching trailer. A slow motion rewind of a young family getting mauled by zombies in their hotel room, set against a gentle piano tune. It had the internet in an up-roar and I (as many) coul... Read More »
The fine French folks over at Nadeo sure do make some interesting games, the most recognizable of those being Trackmania and Trackmania 2. I’ve spent a lot of time playing both of those over the years; the simple yet polished time trial based driving is addicting and rewarding. Add a nearly limitless amount of ne... Read More »
Darkstalkers – the much loved fighter from Capcom has not been seen for many years, lying asleep like the proverbial sleeping giant. Now though it has returned, stirring once more from its slumber, set to start the fight afresh on XBLA and PSN. Yet will its return, in the form of Darkstalkers Resurrection, be any... Read More »
One of the most unfairly maligned titles of the GameCube era (that isn’t Custom Robo) is back… AND THIS TIME, IT’S PERSONAL! Or…actually, that’s not quite accurate. Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon is the 3DS follow up to the GameCube launch title – Luigi’s Mansion, that seemed to only exist for people to get mad... Read More »
It’s very rare these days that you find yourself experiencing something completely new when it comes to video games. You play a shooter and it’s much like the one you played a couple of months back – it might be a bit shinier but apart from that it’s pretty much the same. Same with platformers, with most genres o... Read More »
When I was asked if I’d review the latest Naruto Shippuden game I said yes… but felt a little trepidation. I’ve seen people talking about and I’ve even seen clips of the TV show, with the young boy in an orange track suit and yellow spiky hair. Yet if I’m honest that’s about all I kn... Read More »
The Walking Dead franchise is something special to me, mainly when it first started out as a comic. Sure, I love mostly anything zombie related to an extent but the enjoyment I got out of the original comic book series came from the brilliant characters and the harsh reality of their situation from day to day. Fast for... Read More »
Gears of War never really sank in with me. I played all of them, but by the time I got to a Tears for Fears cover, warbled over some slow motion explosions, I thought that it was high time I give it a rest. With the sheer popularity of the series it’s no surprise to see a fourth title appear, this time in the hands of ... Read More »
I would like to begin this review by making one thing perfectly clear: I am terrible at this game. This isn’t the game’s fault, though! Rhythm Destruction, developed by Curious Panda released just recently onto Desura (the game is currently PC only, but the developer is considering mobile ports), looks to be a standard... Read More »
Columbia is a pretty messed up place. From the moment Bioshock Infinite begins, it’s clear just how brainwashed the residents are and how the teachings of the prophet, Comstock, effect their ideals and beliefs. The city is segregated by race, with white supremacy leading the charge. You’re very quickly asked to make a ... Read More »
Once again we join Kratos on another quest for vengeance within the realms of Greek mythology in God of War Ascension. Does this origins tale live up to the brutal trilogy made before it, where the Ghost of Sparta sought revenge upon the Gods? The answer is both yes and no. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as one or th... Read More »
