  1. Rock Band

    Conclusion Rock Band is a game for everyone that will bring out the inner Rocker in anyone. Although the game is designed solely for fans of Rock music it manages to appeal to all genres through its generous range of songs and addictive nature. There is quite a challenging learning curve and the graphics are certainly underwhelming, although this becomes a distant memory while playing along to your favourite Rock classic. Is Rock Band worth parting with your hard earned... Read more

    Saints Row 2 delivers in a big way. The original Saints Row had the spotlight to itself when it was launched a little over two years ago. Since then many games, including Grand Theft Auto IV, have been released setting the bar even higher for Saints Row 2. The game is very much like its predecessor and once you realize how much fun you’re having, that turns out to be a very good thing. Read more

    If you're reading this and deciding whether to buy the PS3 or Xbox 360 version, I'll give you a small indication of my preference. Having played both versions of the game now side by side, there is absolutely no difference in terms of graphics, game play, number of times the console locked up and crashed, etc. The only real difference was that I found the 360 controller much more comfortable to use than the PS3 controller. Coupled with Xbox Live, I would certainly say... Read more

    SR2 is top game with good detail and game play its a shame it does not have auto lock or that you can't change to much of the controller to suit your self but they are just personal gripes. it is a game that will make you smile and it is clever in what you can do and how to play, lot to do and to see have fun if u get it, if you like GTA u should like this then even with the bugs it still top game, can't wait to see what else it has to offer Read more

    Saints Row 2 is an amazing game. Ranging from the soundtrack (Avenged Sevenfold and Lamb of God make driving down the street in a fast car while being chased by both cops and rival gang members a smash!) to the awesome Character editing (making a guy that looks something like the joker and running around with a powerful assault rifle is so fun.) to the amazing level designs (there is nothing like derailing a metro, watching it fly a couple hundred yards, crash into a car...
