Jack Keane
PC Review
PC - Jack Keane - Jack Keane To say this is influenced by Monkey Island (classic PC adventure series) would be something of an understatement. It apes that point ’n click game in terms of tone, location and humour. Fortunately, it has enough charm and wit of its own to be an entertaining and engaging adventure aimed at gamers new to adventure games. The character of Jack Keane is likeable but not a patch on Monkey Island’s Guybrush Threepwood. Fans of the ...

Jade Empire: Special Edition
PC Review
Were trying desperately to replenish our chi before our scantily-clad female character wades back into kung fu combat with a flaming horse demon. Of course, thats pretty much par for the course in Jade Empire, BioWares latest role-playing epic in which the traditional fantasy trappings have been replaced with a mythical Chinese setting. But being a port of a two-year-old Xbox title, is this a case of glorious reincarnation or ageing master? The first act introduces you to the controls and the ...

Jaws Unleashed
PC Review
Cards on the table. This is the most awesome bad game weve had in the office in ages. Everything you might want to do as Jaws is here, from bellyflopping lone jet-ski riders to launching yourself onto a beach and thrashing your 30-foot mass towards delicious onshore humans. We didnt even think it was possible for a game that encourages the devouring of entire pods of dolphins to be bad. Somehow, we were ...

Joint Task Force
PC Review
Real-time strategy games tend to follow a predictable pattern: build your HQ and support buildings, mine resources, gather an army and steamroll the enemy. If that's what you expect from an RTS, you won't find it in Joint Task Force. You don't build an HQ; you seize a vacant building. Need a runway for incoming supplies, troops and vehicles? Oust the local guerillas and hold it. No time to build elaborate defenses or amass an overwhelming force; the local thugs force you into action. It's ...

Juiced
PC Review
Racing for 'pink slips' might not sound terribly dangerous or macho, but Juiced's take on street racing offers far more thrills and spills than EA's comparatively safe Need For Speed Underground series, on which Juiced is clearly based. Great, right? Thrills and spills... that's what we want. We want a game in which we can gamble away our winnings and lose the cars we've modified and raced for hours on end... don't we?We've been mollycoddled by our games in recent years, lulled into thinking ...

Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights
PC Review
Sept 18, 2007 Bigger, better and more fiercely contested than any race Juiced 2 can muster will be the battle for supremacy between it and Need for Speed: ProStreet. EA's NFS juggernaut had the edge the last time these heavyweights met, but two years later THQ's street racer sequel is pumped up, primed and ready to rock. Perhaps more importantly, it's sneaked out ahead of its bitter rival. This headstart could turn out to be massive given the growing apathy towards US-centric street racing ...

Just Cause
PC Review
Daddy, where do cheap bananas come from? Well shucks, Billy! Dont you remember the days after World War II, when the CIA liked to sneak into Latin American countries, assassinate elected leaders and install hand-picked puppet tyrants so corporations like the United Fruit Company could move in and rape the land and people? You can be part of that rich history in Just Cause, where youll play Rico Rodriguez, a CIA agent sent to initiate regime change in a paradise island overrun with power-hungry ...
