Square-Enix JRPG epic Final Fantasy XIII hit Xbox 360 in the UK yesterday, and the fans were out in force at a special HMV launch event at London's Oxford Circus.

When I was a kid, I loved Duke Nukem 3D. I didn't play it on the PC, so I was one of the few plums who was content to play it in a ham-fisted way on Sega Saturn.

Anyone that was burnt by the Star Wars: Episode I trailer knows that a killer two-minute montage can thrill a lot more than the final product ever could.

It's been a quiet year for live gaming events so far, but that's all about to change this July with the launch of ECL's new X1 LAN event. It's going to be a massive weekend of tournaments and prizes.

One of the main criticisms of Resident Evil 5 is that it isn't scary. Too much action, not enough scares.

The overhaul of Xbox 360's Dashboard in recent past has ushered in some new additions that I have had zero interest in.

While I'm not allowed to vote in the annual OXM awards (that would be cheating,) I'm still free to try and sway your votes with a few of my favourite games.

Some of us live by default. Others prefer to crank it up to Hardcore/Realism/Veteran/Super-Tough as soon as they start. Some of us even gently tip-toe through on Easy (but shhh, don't tell anyone).

Xbox Live Arcade is brilliant.

As you will hopefully have noticed, I wrote a review of Bioshock 2. It was really hard work.
