Last week of course saw the unveiling of Apple's latest 'must have' device: the iPad. The device has caused a division amongst those who have heard about it, with some hugely excited for the device, and others not seeing a reason for its existence. At Nukoda, we couldn't let such an important event pass without comment, and so included are some views of some of the writers for this website...

A year of sequels with a few original titles. By no means are any of these sequels bad, Left 4 Dead 2 remains one of my favourite games, but for the most part there is little innovation. For me I enjoy games that strive to be different, to travel off the beaten track and along [...]

I won’t pussyfoot around the topic. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is an excellent game, and a worthy contender for the “Game of the Year” mantle. The things that were “great” about the original Uncharted are now “excellent”, and developers Naughty Dog deserve our utmost respect for delivering such a polished and entertaining game. If you [...]

Welcome back. Our apologies with the infrequency, these how-to articles take much more time and preparation than your average review, coupled with real-life responsibility leads to a much longer period of creation than a normal article. Currently, pictures are taken and ‘Stuff they didn’t teach you in school: Hooking up surround sound’ is in the early [...]

There is a thin line between good and bad horror. When you reach halfway through a game wondering when it will end is a good sign of general awfulness because lets be honest without the horror aspect most games of the genre are just boring walks through dingy abandoned buildings. So what makes the best the [...]
