The latest previews from allaboutgames.co.uk
Brink (Xbox 360)
20-Aug-09
Brink is a first person shooter from Splash Damage set in a declining utopian city, the initial planned design degenerating into the current violent conflict between the security forces and the resistance movement.As a player, you can create your character as a member of either of these factions and...
Tony Hawk: RIDE (Xbox 360)
20-Aug-09
Tony Hawk RIDE - The game that I've always been suspicious was just an excuse for an expensive controller. Having played it today, my fears aren't exactly alleviated. As noted everywhere, you control the game by standing on a small skateboard-like controller. You can accelerate by moving your foot t...
Hearts of Iron III (PC)
31-Jul-09
Paradox Interactive are known as a publisher with a big stable of strategy titles under their belt, but at heart they are a developer from Sweden, and Hearts of Iron is one of their own series. We rather liked the last one, Hearts of Iron II, when it came out in 2005, as well as its expansion, Dooms...
East India Company (PC)
23-Jul-09
The East India Company was created in 1600 and was initially founded to trade with the East Indies, but later traded with region as a whole, including China. Why is this important? Well, it's the setting for the latest title from strategy specialists Paradox Interactive. This real-time strategy game...
PDC World Championship Darts 2008 (Xbox 360)
22-Sep-08
Darts is one of those sports that some people won't acknowledge as actually being a sport. Wait, haven't we been here before? Ah, we have; we've already looked at World Championship Darts 2008 earlier this year when it was on PC, and we've also seen the PS2 and Wii versions of the game. Now Oxygen h...
Multiwinia (PC)
17-Sep-08
Darwinia is one of our favourite PC games here at allaboutgames.co.uk. We were so enchanted by an early version of the game we got involved with a "Darwinia Week" on the site ahead of the game's launch, to help raise the profile of the indie title. It culminated in this 9/10 review of the game, wher...
Mount & Blade (PC)
07-Aug-08
It's about time mounted combat featured in a video game. It was an important component of battles in the medieval period, and yet few RPGs or RTS titles set in the period actually feature you in control of a horse. Independent developer, TaleWorlds, have noticed this and are providing an RPG contain...
Codename Panzers: Cold War (PC)
17-Mar-08
There seems to be a general movement away from World War II games at the moment. The period has become somewhat overused in both the strategy and first-person shooter genres over the past few years and despite the fact that these games are still selling (and as the likes of Company of Heroes and Med...
PDC World Championship Darts 2008 (PC)
05-Jan-08
Darts is one of those sports that some people won't acknowledge as actually being a sport. Poker is another one of them, but while that may have had many games focussing on it - including Oxygen's sister series World Championship Poker - darts is rarely covered by the video games industry. Well, dev...
Jack Keane (PC)
27-Nov-07
Adventure games are few and far between these days. LucasArts, once one the stalwarts of the genre, have since moved on to making even more Star Wars games, as well as things like Thrillville: Off the Rails, leaving companies like Telltale Games to fill in the gaps with their Sam & Max series, w...
