Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend, Desktop Computer

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend is the seventh instalment of the hugely popular series that has seen various movies and merchandise spin-offs resulting from the successful games. This time Lara is searching for a South American relic, but everything changes dramatically when she comes across a deadly character from her past - the peroxide-blonde, tattooed Amanda Evert - and then finds herself in a dangerous pursuit to find one of history's most famous artefacts. Her new quest will bring her to ancient realms that guard Secrets of the Past, so get ready for some interesting revelations. Graphically, Ms. Croft looks far more realistic with more detailed facial expressions, movement and abilities. She also has at her disposal some of the most advanced weapons and equipment of any previous Tomb Raider game, such as frag grenades, binoculars, a magnetic grappling device and various communications devices to name but a few. The control system has also been improved and is now easier to use and more responsive. Due to Lara's unquestionable athletic ability, she can now perform signature moves while still firing her dual-pistols. She also has the ability to handle any obstacle in her path due to a dynamic animation system that places the focus on constant motion. There is a whole host of beautifully-rendered and mysterious locations throughout the game, which include formidable jungles, snowy mountain ruins and many others that really add intrigue to the game.

Hooligans: A Storm Over Europe
With a tagline like 'The only thing to fear is running out of beer', Hooligans: Storm Over Europe was always going to raise a few eyebrows. The concept of making a real-time strategy game in which you, as the player, gets charged with engendering thug support through the 'gift' of alcohol is a strange one to say the least. Hooligans makes no apologies for its subject matter whatsoever. Littered wi...
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
When the original Max Payne was released back in 2001 it raised a few eyebrows with its combination of dark, gritty storyline, strong use of narrative, cinematic visuals and overall mature target audience. Most notable, though, was its introduction of the now commonplace 'bullet time' idea, which gave players the ability to slow down the action sequences, Matrix-style, and thus allow them to dodge...

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
It's surprising that it's not been done before. The saga of Middle Earth and its inhabitants is ideal material for a video game license. Years old, 8-bit attempts aside, it seems that it's taken the production of the blockbuster movie to convince the games industry to finally invest in the license. Now there's not one but two entirely different games, released on the same day, which plunge players...
