Dead Space 3 (9.0/10)

To read the official full length review follow the link here: Dead Space 3.

In the end Dead Space 3 is a worthy entry in the series even if, in my opinion, it's perhaps the worst of the three (even if only by the smallest of margins). Even ignoring the common complaint that the developers moved away from the scares to a more action driven experience (something I don't completely agree with), Dead Space 3 is still thrilling, terrifying, intense, and completely worth your time. Fans of the series are already neck deep in necromorph limbs I'm sure, and the new resource and weapon crafting systems are among some of the best I've come across, making an already wholly engaging experience all the more so!

Fuel Overdose (5.0/10)

To read the official full length review follow the link here: Fuel Overdose.

What's not to love about the indy game scene and it's current revival? From the phenomenal success of Angry Birds to truly brilliant tales like Journey and The Walking Dead, it's nice to see that inspiration and clever ideas can sometimes trump vast amounts of money spent on shiny graphics and celebrity voice actors. It's important to keep track of what's coming out because you never know when there will be a diamond in the rough. Fuel Overdose intrigued us. At first, it seems like a simple top-down racer with some clever mechanics and a fun strategic element to it. But below the paint there is a surprising amount of depth... which make the issues that plague the game all the more disappointing. It's difficult not to leave time spent with Fuel Overdose wondering how good it could have been if only it hadn't been executed better... or perhaps had a better focus.
