Splinter Cell Conviction: It Lost My Mind, but Won My Heart

Rodent’s resident incomprehensible Irishman, gogol1000, tests Splinter Cell’s conviction. (Note: this is a review of the single player campaign in Splinter Cell Conviction. The co-op campaign, and various co-op and competitive multiplayer game types aren’t covered.) Sam Fisher’s latest is an odd one. In days of yore Splinter Cell was an out and out stealth [...]

Rodent?

Bless my Sainted trousers, a review!

While I’ve not resorted to going through the bins like some Rodent reprobates, my late adoption of the Xbox means I missed most of the classics the first time round and can now grab them up for mere pennies. I’d heard Saints Row was “bitchin’, yo” and four quid is too good to pass up, [...]

Going through the bins – Mirror’s Edge

In the future, both bins and bargains are outlawed and I am forced to jump across rooftops in search of empty thrills. I am utterly miserable, and Resident Evil 8 is going to require that I take out a loan against the miniscule coffin I laughably call a home. The streets are nice and [...]

Zeus, God of Gods, and Kratos, Spartan warrior, agree to hold peace talks on neutral territory – Hell – in front of a special delegation comprising Satan, Barack Obama and Robin Cousins. They arrive at the River Styx and jump onto the ferry. Ferryman: Alright gents, where too? Zeus: Hades please, Mohammed Karzai’s residence. Ferryman: [...]

Going through the bins – 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

You can find me in da club! By which I mean you can find me by the bins. 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand (Xbox 360) Nothing is more important to 50 Cent than money. Making money, either through his popularity in the “rap game” or by hustling, whatever that entails, is his prime goal in [...]

Bladder of Steel

It started with a text message: “Fancy having a go at the Endless Setlist on Easter Monday? We’ll go for the Bladder of Steel achievement. 8am start so we can be finished nice and early.” Thus spake Mat Harding, drummer with Penzance thrash punk pink latex combo Bugga, and Xbox 360 achievements hunter extraordinaire. Well [...]
