Mass Effect 3 PC Review
This latest release from EA/BioWare is the final entry in their trilogy of sci-fi action RPGs, putting you in a dire situation: rally the troops to save Earth at all costs. There was a lot of hype surrounding the final act of what has been a vast and highly-customizable story-telling experience, and the reception among many hardcore fans has been less than stellar. Even people that haven't played the game have probably heard about all the nerd rage going on over Mass Effect 3's ending...
If you want to cut through all the crap and find out whether or not the rest of ME3 is worth playing, come check out Will's spoiler-free take on the first blockbuster game release of 2012.

Batman: Arkham City PC Review
Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to 2009’s smash-hit action game Batman: Arkham Asylum. As the name suggests, you will be reprising your role as the Caped Crusader and going against an even larger 'prison' filled with Gotham's criminals and villains. A textbook example on how to do a proper sequel, Arkham City takes what worked in the original, excised or improved upon what didn’t, and elevated everything to an even greater scope. The PC version suffered from a few months of delay, but in that time, Rocksteady worked closely to NVIDIA to implement some familiar technologies from the last game, such as PhysX and 3D Vision, along with new DirectX 11 optimizations. But how well was the whole package executed? Read on to find out!

Saints Row: The Third PC Review
Saints Row is one of most unique series of games to build upon the open-world action template forged by Grand Theft Auto, and has met with plenty of critical and commercial success since it began on consoles back in 2006. This latest iteration, titled Saints Row: The Third promises the most outlandish fun and freedom of customization of them all, and in a much more PC-friendly package than its predecessor. Does it live up to those expectations and, more importantly, is it worth the price of admission? Find out in Will's latest review!

The game's coming out on XBLA and PSN in a matter of weeks, but for now, Luke chats with the developer about its predecessors Mashed and Micro Machines, how difficult it can be to get an indie game published, the closure of Codemasters' Guildford branch, and more!

Dead Island PC Review
Despite the fact that it's not lived up to expectations set by its beautiful announce trailer from earlier this year, open-world zombie beat-'em-up Dead Island has finally arrived. It makes no apologies, however, and in fact is very unlike most other games set during an outbreak of the seemingly undead. Its focus on melee combat fought using anything you can find laying around is in direct opposition to the norm, which dictates the player be given ample supplies of firearms and ammunition with which to defend himself. This up-close-and-personal style of survival mixed with various RPG elements is the crux of Techland’s design gambit, but did it pay off? Find out in today's review!

Driver: San Francisco Review*
Developed by the original creators of the franchise, Driver: San Francisco is the sixth entry in the series of action games with a heavy emphasis on burning rubber and catching bad guys. Following the third game's abysmal sales performance and universally poor reception by critics, both Ubisoft and Reflections Interactive have no doubt been aching to recreate the success that the first game in the series enjoyed. But did they succeed? Read on!
