Welcome to Pandora! Regular-looking Sam here to give you the lowdown on the new sandbox-gunfest that is Borderlands 2. First things first, this game has more guns than you can ever imagine. Literally, try and think about how many guns that is. No, there’s more. Everything killed...

  So it’s a new year for those of us at uni, and as such, we’ll all be looking for a new game to pass the time. Well, if you’re embarking on your second year, I’ve got a right treat for you!     We are all familiar with the popular Where’s Wally book...

  This summer’s E3 conference and Gamescom showed off some great games. Admittedly, most of the demos shown were less game play and more straight up plays.  At E3 at least the developers demoing these games were taking on the role of digital actors to best showcase their games’...

  “Holy sequel, Batman!”   Alright, alright. We know this one is a bit late but the freshers among you will soon learn that being a third year is less fun than being run over by a bus. Remember though, the January sales are soon upon us, so if you’re still...

  Rage is usually a term that brings to mind violent, uncontrollable anger. Like when you get killed by a 12 year old camping on Call of Duty, or when you go to Subway only to find out they are out of Hearty Italian. Luckily, though, the video game ‘Rage’, developed by id...

  For those who’ve had their head in the sand(box!) for the last year, Minecraft is an indie video game released in early 2009 on both PCs and Macs (but let’s not get in to that debate), with a Xbox 360 version currently under development.   Whilst still in its beta...

  The first two Gears of War games were phenomenal; the series has taken its role as a must-have alongside Call of Duty and Halo. Gears 1′s online play was groundbreaking and Gears 2 had great potential and stunning visuals. Sadly, it suffered immensely from every gamers pet hate;...

  Eidos’s augmented reality…   I have a confession to make, dear readers. No, I have not committed adultery at university (which is something that we here at Trendflux seem to encourage). My confession is that I’ve never played the original Deus Ex. Cue gasps. I always...

  Summer Games make me feel fine…   Summer time isn’t enjoyed as much by the gaming community as say… the bikini-wearing female variety. Admittedly, you can play DS or PSP outside in the sun but it mid-way through a game of Zelda, not only may you be affected by sun...

  It is really hard to pigeonhole Child of Eden into any particular genre. I guess you could call it a rhythm-based action game, or a synesthetic on-rails shooter, or … My point is, unless you’ve played a game like Rez on the Dreamcast, this is going to be a brand new...

  Visuals so good they’ll make you Cry-tek… So here we are then. Crytek’s first foray on to consoles with a sequel to one of the most talked about PC games of the last decade – Crysis 2. For the most part Crytek have found success here, if by success you mean the...

  The first two Gears of War games were phenomenal; the series has taken its role as a must-have alongside Call of Duty and Halo. Gears 1’s online play was groundbreaking and Gears 2 had great potential and stunning visuals. Sadly, it suffered immensely from every gamers pet hate;...

  So what is Mortal Kombat? It’s the VHS that your mum put up on the shelf because it was ‘too violent’; it’s the kid sat at the back of the classroom that would rather throw pencils at the teacher’s head than do sums. Why? Because it can.     Mortal Kombat saw...
