Darkwatch, Electronic Games

An immersive, story-driven FPS that blends the lawless action of the Wild West with the intense horror of vampire movies In Darkwatch, players step into the role of Jericho Cross, a solitary outlaw wanting to rob a last train rumoured to carry valuable cargo before skipping down to Mexico. Instead, Jericho unleashes Hell on Earth: an ancient vampire Lord who curses him with a bite, then sends out a pulse wave of evil over the American West. As corpses come alive and undead armies run rampant, players, now infected by vampirism, can only save the West and their own soul by joining the 'Darkwatch' - a secret society even stranger than the undead monsters they battle.

Dungeons and Dragons Heroes
Dungeons and Dragons is a phrase that's been synonymous with role-playing games for many years now. It's true that nearly all RPG's feature such elements, but in this instance we refer to the series of video games that goes by that very name. In name, it's one of the longest-running series the industry has to offer, and there's no end in sight, with Atari's release of Dungeons and Dragons Heroes f...
The Great Escape
Perhaps a new trend is emerging in video games in the form of classic film spin-offs.

The Italian Job is just around the corner and this week sees the arrival of The Great Escape, a stealth-em-up based on the 1960s WWII masterpiece, complete with faith...
Red Faction 2
The last time we played Red Faction 2, it was so good, the earth moved. After the initial honeymoon period had elapsed and we had gotten used being around each other so much, we decided it was time for a break from all the death and destruction and time to go play the field a little. But the heart wants what it wants, and we are once more thrown together, this time with Microsoft's Xbox playing cu...
Worms 3D
From the moment 3D gaming was conceived, this game has been on the cards at Team17. The only reason it's taken so long is that lack of adequate technology at the time slowed things down somewhat, due to the game's well-known reliance on deformable landscapes. Well, finally, eight years after the original Amiga version, those impetuous invertebrates are back and in full 3D. Hooray! The game itself ...
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Many who grew up in the seventies and thereafter remember Roald Dahl fondly as their favourite author. Like all the best children's writers, his tone had no trace of condescension in it and the power of his imagination often made so-called adult fiction seem unambitious and mundane in comparison. The story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is undoubtedly his most famous creation of all, followi...
Shadow Man
