WWE 13 PS3 review – Grappler goes old-school for a mega main event

David Meikleham at 05:00pm October 30 2012

NO! NO! NO! Where in the blue hell is Daniel Bryan’s hairy, goatlike hairy face-garden? The recent breakthrough star’s beard is way too kempt in WWE 13. Which is strange, because in every other way, this suplexfest offers the most accurate, slavishly detailed wrasslin’ fan service you’ve ever seen. It’s also got the Attitude of a ten-time undisputed champ.

Doom 3: BFG Edition PS3 review – We’d rather have the friendly giant

David Meikleham at 04:02pm October 18 2012

Attention all of videogames: stop trying to colonise Mars. Setting up shop on the Red Planet only ends in misery and… usually painful death to the face. Whether it’s civil wars and smashy giant hammers in Red Faction or battling Mass Effect 3’s evil Cerberus soldiers, our virtual PS3 pals should just stick to Earth. Or, in the case of this port of an eight-year-old PC shooter, not even bother leaving the house.
