Blacklight Retribution review First Person Shooter online game  Genre: Free to play MMOFPS  Publisher: Perfect World Entertainment

My having a history in console gaming means one thing and one thing only: I’m an expert when it comes to first person shooters. I might not be able to shoot as accurately or react to things as quickly, but we’ve got quantity, if it can be done in first person mode – whether it’s done really well or really badly – it’s been done and I’ve played it.

Ministry of War review Browser based MMORTS  Genre: Free to play real time strategy MMO  Publisher: Snail Games

When a game describes itself as the most advanced browser game in the world, you have to take a step back and admire it. No doubt some marketing genius patted himself on the back over that one for hours, but really that can only be setting things up to fail, surely. I came across that exact phrase – “most advanced browser game in the world” – while doing a little research for my Ministry of War review. It’s not hidden away somewhere, hoping that somebody doing a little light googling happens to come across it. No, Ministry of War quite openly brags about its (self-decided) status all over their website, including the loading screen for the game itself. So, whether the game was any good or not, I had to at least congratulate the developers on their confidence. That sort of bragging really takes guts.
