I have to say that I like Enslaved. Its a fun, challenging, addictive game. But to begin with, I didn’t like it. The first level is of course the training level. You’re a prisoner aboard a slave ship approaching earth’s atmosphere, when one of the other prisoners managers to escape her pod, hack into the ships computer system and set if for self-destruct.

I’m not really a sports fan. I have no allegiance to any team or sport. To be perfectly honest, I really don’t understand a lot of sports, nor do I care to. I do on the other hand enjoy playing games. being a passive supporter watching the game on a TV screen seems dull and lifeless. Who cares if one team just score a goal? It had nothing to do with me. If on the other hand, I had scored that goal, now that would be something. Even if it was just by using a combination of thumbs and fingers on the XBox controller. And if you want the total sports experience, EA seems to have that tied up. Head out onto the ice in NHL 11 and you almost feel like you’re part of a televised game of some weirdly popular sport.

If you’ve played the original Dead Rising and for some inexplicable reason didn’t enjoy it then stop reading. Stop reading right now. Go and play with your My Little Pony collection because you’re not going to like Dead Rising 2. Just like the original, Dead Rising 2 (DR2) is a fun and addictive game that essentially sets you on an adventure story with masses of never ending zombies wanting to tear your flesh from your still warm body. It’s so much alike the original, that fans of the series should have no trouble transitioning to DR2. It’s been a while, and I didn’t get that far into the original because of the issues with not having a HD TV. But with DR2 I was instantly in familiar territory. Access to and from your safe haven is via an air-duct, and you have help of a lady via a walkie talkie, but now rather than just a mall, you have a Fortune City, a shopping and entertainment complex, complete with Casino.

I would consider myself, at least on a certain level, an average gamer. Sure I probably play a few more games that the average gamer, and probably play a lot longer and more frequently than the average gamer. However, I certainly wouldn’t consider myself a hardcore gamer. I don’t try and 1k every game in my collection, I’m not at level 10 prestige for Modern Warfare 2 (and nor will I ever be), but I do enjoy playing a variety of games. Some I can jump right in and complete in a week, others, like RUSE take a while longer. RUSE is a strategy game that demands a long and fulfilling relationship. I doesn’t want me to bang away at it all night. It wants me to take things slowly, discover how things work, and enjoy its company. As such, I feel a little cheap writing a review this early in our relationship. I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface, but because this is a game that I’m going to be playing over the course of the rest of the year, but I can’t really wait till Christmas to write my review, so here we are.

H.A.W.X.2 is obviously the sequel to Ubisoft’s initial foray into the combat flight sim arena. It’s also handily set in the same Tom Clancy universe as Ghost Recon Future Soldier. This is all nice and well, but essentially means little to me, as I never played the original H.A.W.X., nor have I played any combat flight sim on my XBox. But new experiences are something I try and embrace, and the Tom Clancy brand is usually pretty solid, so I approach H.A.W.X.2 with a degree of eager expectation. It delivers on my expectations, at least initially. The graphics an cut scenes are all beautifully relaised, and the introductory mission is a walk in the park. Even the later training mission isn’t too hard for this rookie. Then Ubisoft decide to mix things up a bit and you get to fly a spy drone looking for a downed US pilot. This leads to a mission reminiscent of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare where you get to man the guns on a flying fortress and rain terror down upon your enemy as the pilot and his rescue team hoof it overland, being chased by the nasty terrorists.
