Review | Medal of Honor Multiplayer Beta
Kabul and wireless.
In all their interviews regarding Medal of Honor, the folks at DICE have been adamant that just because they've been brought in to create the multiplayer component doesn't mean it's going to be a clone of Bad Company 2. While that may be technically true, you'd be forgiven for thinking the two games were twins, at least.

Feature | Eurogamer's Best of E3 2010
Game of the Show, Best Tech, Best Publisher, more.
It began, as ever, with a leak. With just hours to go until Microsoft's absurdly lavish and conceptually loopy launch event for Project Natal, suddenly the name Kinect was out there, and images of a new, black Xbox 360 unit were proliferating across the net. So close and yet so far: these days, even on a sleepy LA Sunday, you just can't stop E3 jumping the starter's gun.

Review | Killzone 2
Hardcore uproar.
It's easy to be blinded by the sideshow with Killzone 2. Any platform exclusive is going to attract the wrong sort of attention in the current console climate, and when the game in question is the sequel to a poorly received last-gen title, the stakes are raised even higher. Sitting down to evaluate it, you can feel the clutter hovering over your shoulder. Texture maps are scrutinised for the slightest flaw, frame rates obsessed over, AI team-mates subjected to Mensa tests.

Review | King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame
Round table discussion.
It's the 5th Century. Or maybe it's the 6th. Nobody can really be sure, and it doesn't matter - the legendary tales of King Arthur might as well have taken place in another universe. Wizards, warriors made of supernatural gas and magical swords knocking about - it's a rich, slightly stuffy slice of unhistory that's been completely owned and dominated for 35 years by a Monty Python movie. At least, in this moron's head - you might be more educated.

Review | Mass Effect 2: Overlord
Good lord.
Overlord, the latest and largest of the Mass Effect DLC packs, is a mixed bag in the best possible way. It's a medium-sized adventure that never lets one gameplay element dominate for too long, leavening the expected duck-and-cover combat with openworld exploration and a dash of environmental puzzling, all wrapped up in a story that builds to a satisfying and pathos-heavy finale. It is almost exactly what you want from a low-priced downloadable add-on.

Review | inFamous 2
Lightning strikes twice.
InFamous was a decent open world superhero game with just one problem: the superhero himself. Cole McGrath is a fine enough name if you're a guy who mows other peoples' lawns for a living, but it lacks a little spark when you transport it the world-saving business - and the face behind it wasn't much better either.
