Reader Review: WipEout 2048

Kotaku AU

I’ve spent a fair amount of time with my PS Vita now (mostly with Rayman: Origins) and WipEout 2048 is being cited as one of the must have launch titles. Is this a fair evaluation? Reader Review regular Ben Latimore investigates…

Reader Review! Combat Mission: Battle For Normandy

Kotaku AU

Sometimes it’s good to get a reader review of a lesser known game, just to raise awareness and to get a viewpoint on a game you may otherwise have ignored. So we’d like to thank Chad Lennerts for taking the time to write about Combat Mission Battle for Normandy.

Reader Review: Anno 1404

Kotaku AU

I’m always happy to let someone else take the reins here at Kotaku and write a reader review or two – especially when that man is Adam Ruch, who has become a bit of a regular contributor here. Adam is currently writing a PhD on the subject of video games, so it’s safe to say that he knows his stuff.

Reader Review: Sucker Punch

Kotaku AU

Well, Sucker Punch isn’t technically a video game, but it’s clearly inspired by video games – it’s for this reason that I’m allowing a movie review on Kotaku – just this once! Especially given that it’s as well written as this one – great job AmbroseIV.

Reader Reviews: Shogun 2

Kotaku AU

I haven’t had the chance to play Shogun 2, despite being heavily impressed the last time I checked it out during development, but Dean Henderson has, and he’s wrote up this spiffing reader review.

Reader Review: Deadly Premonition

Kotaku AU

I haven’t had the chance to play Deadly Premonition, despite the fact it’s been out for a while, but it’s attracted quite the cult following. Jonno Phillips is on hand with this reader review to help guide you through one of the strangest games ever conceived.

Reader Reviews: Tropico 3

Kotaku AU

Despite the fact that it’s hardly a blockbuster release, I’ve been hearing good things about Tropico 3 – a recently released dictator simulation – so when Adam Ruch, PhD candidate, and sometime Kotaku contributor offered to write a Reader Review on the game, who was I to say no!

Reader Review: Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Kotaku AU

When I received this Reader Review, all I could think of was this hilarious video. But as Zorine Te’s review shows, Amnesia: The Dark Descent in more than just YouTube fodder, it’s one of the scariest games ever made.

Reader Reviews: Monday Night Combat

Kotaku AU

I consider myself a bit of an Xbox LIVE Arcade connoiseur, but I totally missed out on Monday Night Combat when it was initially released. Now that it’s been released on Steam, we’ve had a review sent in from Grandmaster B-Funk to get us all up to date on this overlooked gem.
