    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…

    It’s 4 in the morning; outside in The Real World a car alarm is ringing (has been since the last race) and two dogs are arguing about who is going to bark at the monotonous beeping from the unseen vehicle the loudest. The timer clicks onto a big white “3” and Gamestyle is suddenly torn…

    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…

    It’s currently in vogue to put down EA. From inside the industry they’re the very epitome of what’s wrong with publishers – endless sequels with very little improvements; lazy film tie-ins and cheap multiplatform ports. Unfortunately, though, they’re not alone – there are other companies doing exactly the same thing, and although the Pro Evo…

    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…

    For some strange reason whenever I’m around at a mates we’ve been playing Tony Hawks 3 on the Playstation 2. Perhaps this is an indication of how bad his games collection is or rather a quick two-minute blast on the skateboard leaves you gagging for more. With that said I’ve never been a big fan…

    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…

    As the curtain finally comes down on, what for me was a terrible season, I cannot help but feel that I hate football. The Scottish league like many is a mess, with many clubs facing an uncertain future and I’ve suffered a football television overdose, football is everywhere and its fast becoming boring. Championship Manager…
