    Limbo, as stated in the dictionary, is the term for a piece of Roman Catholic Theology. The border of hell or heaven, serving as the after death of unbaptised infants and of the righteous who died before coming of Christ. Well now many will know it as a wonderful but darkly game on Microsoft’s Xbox…

    Forza Motorsport 2 was a wonderful racing title, despite a few flaws. It really shone in the online department. A testament to the game is that it still had a solid community playing right up until the release of Forza 3. There have been other racing titles that have offered plenty of fun moments, yet…

    Gears of War was the first system seller for the 360 and quite possibly the first title that convinced many at Gamestyle Towers that they had made the right choice. Two years on, the hotly-anticipated sequel is finally released, with a promise of being “bigger, better and more badass,” and delivering on it. The story…

    At the turn of the millennium it was clear that Sega was still struggling to find its identity at the tail end of the Dreamcast era. Changes had to be made to put the developer on a firmer footing for the challenges ahead, and today we can see the results of these endeavours. Looking back…

    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…

    10,000 take away meals eaten, around 50 babies born, 100’s of work experience students employed – these are some of the statistics that are included in the credits of Fable. Undoubtedly they are intended to represent the time and effort that’s gone into the game. It’s a shame that the reasoning behind these strange figures…

    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…

    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…
