Awesomenauts Review
The genre of MOBA is truly a mouthful to say, and a colossal endeavour to execute. Usually a genre that sees titles released solely for PC, it has a very niche audience, with small communities of players built around them. They can be fun, but they can be frustrating too. [...]
A Colossal Change
Today we're introducing a brand new Gamewise.ie. When we started the website just shy of 18 months ago, I don't think any of us could have imagined the resulting roller-coaster ride. We've had plenty of ups, and even more downs, but it has been great fun, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
The times they are a changin’
I was amazed to read today that the ‘father of the video game’, Ralph Baer, turned 90 in March of this year. There’s an interesting documentary (3:15) about Baer embedded below if your interested. Baer strikes me as a man who never gave up. He is still inventing, still creating at 90 years of [...]
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Review
In the modern gaming industry, it’s apparent that video game franchises are pretty much the way to go when it comes to the big bucks. Call of Duty, Halo and Uncharted just to name a few are all top selling games of the decade. There are however very few video game franchises that withstand the [...]
Sonic CD — Review
Very few people have ever heard of or even seen Sonic CD, probably due to the fact it was released for the ill-fated Mega CD attachment for the SEGA Mega Drive way back in 1993. But now, the greatest Sonic game you’ve never played is out on digital download, and is well worth the less-than-five-euro [...]

HD remakes have become commonplace in the gaming industry, with some the most popular games such as the God of War trilogy, Metal Gear Solid 2, 3 and Peace Walker and the recently announced Ratchet and Clank trilogy being re-mastered for the current generation of console platforms. While the God of War Collection introduced me [...]
Gotham City Impostors – Review
Gotham City Impostors is a FPS game, based on the DC Universe comics. It is a downloadable multiplayer game, available on the Xbox LIVE marketplace for 1200 Microsoft points or through PSN for about €15.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 Review
I actually hated the original Final Fantasy XIII. Whilst the gameplay was fantastic the characters, story and the AWFUL linearity made it feel more like a Mana game than a Final Fantasy game (And trust me, only ONE Mana game was worth playing). Final Fantasy XIII-2 continues at the end of XIII’s slightly confusing ending [...]
Mass Effect 3 – In Brief
Mass Effect 3 is one of the top releases for 2012. It is a role playing game developed by Bioware and published by EA. It is a direct follow on from Mass Effect 2, and the third in the trilogy.
Metal Gear Solid:HD Collection Review
Metal Gear is one of those Franchises that is in a different class. While it will probably will only be remembered for two or three games, it has undoubtedly put the stealth-action genre on the map. The latest collection contains my candidate for ‘Best Game of All Time’, Metal Gear Solid 2:Sons of Liberty, as [...]
