By Richard ‘FiveStarZA’ Martin There wasn’t a whole lot of mystery surrounding the official announcement of the latest instalment in the Battlefield franchise. An announcement clouded by leaked information and video footage. We knew what the premise of the game would be: Cops vs. Robbers. As a long time fan of the franchise, I had my doubts as to how…
Zombiegamer go hands-on with Evolve. Anyone who played the Left for Dead games will tell you Turtle Rock know a thing or two about co-op games. Evolve, from what we experienced, takes the cooperative theme to new heights. Simply put, Evolve is a mecca of a cooperative game! Four players play as the Hunters while one player assumes the role…
There’s something so sexy about America in the sixties. The middle class man prospered in a thriving economy, the race was on to get man to the moon, and the soundtrack to the era had the world swinging to the American tune. It was not all a perfect bliss though – the US goverment were steeped in the cold-war, acutely…
We recently were fortunate enough to preview some of Capcom’s upcoming titles at SterKinekor. I understand why Capcom might have wanted to shake things up a bit when it comes to the Lost Planet series. While the series started off well, it has faded somewhat, got lost a little between the seasonal title releases, the type that will have every…

That first shot of a Xenomorph took me right back to the eighties and the impact the Aliens film franchise had…
Tomb Raider is another series that was in desperate need of a reinvention. Crystal Dynamics chose to take us back to where Lara’s story began. From what we’ve seen, the reinvention is not only poised to win favour with fans of old, but should win over masses of new fans – I have never been as impressed with a Tomb…
I think the best thing that could have happened to the Devil May Cry was being tasked to Ninja Theory to build the new game. While Hideki Kamiya’s wonderfully excessive design is still one of the most celebrated ‘hack n’ slash’ series, the later titles were becoming a bit stagnant. The series represented everything that was great about the genre…

The preview code included Chris’, Leon’s and Jake’s campaigns as well as the first three Mercenaries stages.
