    Is there any point in trying to keep our emotions in check for this Halo 3 review? Should we start by trying to remind ourselves of the series genesis with Halo: Combat Evolved on the Xbox console and how it redefined the console shooter? Perhaps then moving on to discuss the nature of hype and…

    Halo 2 is literally a game of two halves; a game with a multiplayer mode that arguably had fans looking forward to it more than the single-player. After playing Halo 2 both online and off, Gamestyle decided that to best appraise the title, we had to review the two modes separately. While aspects of the…

    Stunning images of an alien world seemingly built on a metallic ring deep in space with human marines, military vehicles and menacing aliens helped Halo grab the attention of everyone who saw it during it’s development. These fantastic shots left many questions about the world and the story, but most of all they left us…

    So hear me out for a moment. At the back end of 2015 I came to a decision that I wanted to step down from Gamestyle. Life got in the way and I couldn’t dedicate the time I felt the site deserved. There was another reason though. I just didn’t enjoy writing about games any…

    Can it be that almost five years have passed since the arrival of the original Killzone? Hyped to a detrimental extent of being a ‘Halo-killer’, it was light-years behind the Bungie original. Has Guerrilla finally learned from its mistakes and delivered? For all the criticism levelled at the original Killzone, it certainly did harbour some…

    Blink, and you’ll miss them. To the left and right of your frontal gaze are minute moments of happenstance; seismic shifts in the electroencephalographical field of vision; subtextual disturbances in the narrative ‘force’ that is Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic. Gamestyle missed them – at first. But a dogged persistence to join the…

    Blinx, then. According to some it’s the single most important game since Halo – the Xbox equivalent of Super Mario Sunshine, or Jak and Daxter – a genre-defining time-shifting adventure of epic preportions. But behind the hype, the glossy magazine adverts and carefully-selected screenshots is Blinx really just another lifeless platformer, soon to be completely…

    Games are sometimes more fun when you’re not meant to be playing them. The whole idea of doing something more exciting than studying, work or just household chores brings that naughty element that gives the gaming a little more buzz. The GBA is especially guilty in this area, seeing as you can use it in…
