Wandering around gloomy dungeons attacking endless waves of enemies should be the most tedious thing in the world, but in Diablo 3, it’s quite the opposite. Blizzard, with their years of MMO experience, know exactly how to appeal to the obsessive compulsive gamer. By constantly rewarding you with loot...

Thanks to Square Enix we’ve all had the chance to play a whopping 1.7GB demo of the soon-to-be-released Final Fantasy XIII-2.

Admit it, the PS2 launch lineup sucked.

However, one bright beacon really shone above the rest; Tekken...
Sometimes reviewers can’t see the forest for the trees. When I finished Batman: Arkham City, I immediately cataloged what I thought it did wrong. It tossed in too many villains and didn’t flesh them out, it clearly tried to replicate the Scarecrow stuff from the first game and didn’t do it...
