The story revolves around two swords, Soul Edge and Soul Calibur. Soul Edge started off as a normal sword forged by man until after years of bloodshed and battle, it gained a soul of its own. Then someone forged a sword to counteract its effects, Soul Calibur. Now that the fluff is out of the way I can finally get into how the game plays.

UEFA Euro 2008 Review
By Matt Kramer 22 July 2008 at 10:50 pm and have No Comments

Winter 2008 are you ready for the plague?

One of the “lucky” few apparently immune to the sickness, you, unfortunately, are also trapped in a city crawling with packs of the bloodthirsty infected. Alone, you’re dead. But together with a handful of fellow survivors, you might just fight your way to safety!”

Assassins Creed: Review
By Falseywoo 21 January 2008 at 1:20 pm and have No Comments

When Assassins Creed was announced way back at E3 2006, It set the gaming world on fire and the hype was unbelievable. Just the idea of playing as an assassin going about his daily business was enough to drive most people (myself included) completely insane with glee. Some time has passed since then and we finally have a shiny new copy of AC in our hands, but does it meet all these wild expectations?
