Haze, Finally on it's way

After a number of date changes and disappointed gamers, Haze has finally been given a release date it intends to stick to.Due for release this May, the game, set in the ear 2048 follows a newly enlisted soldier looking to battle the forces of evil.

In the future, worlds governments have outsourced military operations to Private Military Corporations, whom are currently engaged in combat with a rebel group known as the Promise Hand. All appears to be in order, good vs evil and all that, but under closer observation things are not as they seem.

So, far early word is good and developers, Free Radicals, have a proven track record. So, you can forgive me for being excited.

REVIEW: Kingdom Under Fire: CoD

Developer: Blueside | Publisher: Microsoft | Format: 360

Reviewer: Craig J Gallagher The Kingdom of Fire franchise has remained an unsung hero for the original Xbox console. It managed to continuously impress by taking the tired hack and slash formula of old and mix in a compelling real time strategy element. While never receiving the acclaim or sales it deserved, the series did develop a cult following. 

Lego Batman: The Videogame

The release this Summer of The Dark Knight has ensured that there is an array of Bat related merchandise hitting stores over the coming months. Perhaps most tantalising of all is Lego Batman. After the huge success of the Lego Star Wars, it was only inevitable that we would see more titles immortalised in the famous blocks.

Read on for a look at some screen shots from the still in development title.

Lost the game trailer

Given the success of the TV show it was inevitable that someone would release a spin off game, which will soon be with us thanks to Ubisoft. The game promises to delve further into the mythos of the island and offer some answers. So far the game looks quite decent, and will undoubtedly please fans of the show.

The game is scheduled for release in Ireland on the 29th of this month on all the major consoles.

REVIEW: Soldier of Fortune: Payback

Developer: Cauldron | Publisher: Activision | Format: PS3

Reviewer: Craig J Gallagher After 2002s Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix the franchise seemed to go MIA, which was surprising given that both games were highly enjoyable and sold decently. Payback appeared out of nowhere and unfortunately for the franchise it should have stayed MIA, as the games seems to have forgotten what made the franchise so much fun and embraced all that is wrong with FPS.
