Bejeweled 3 – The Verdict
By now, you’re more than likely acutely aware of Popcap’s Bejeweled series – the gem matching game is arguably the yardstick as to which all modern puzzle games are compared to and aspire to match the success of. There’s countless versions of the game with the most recent – Bejeweled 3 – getting a release on Xbox a couple of months ago.

I must say that playing FIFA 12 on the PC is a very enjoyable experience. The reason is simple, this version of the chart topping franchise has been granted a full, feature complete PC version. For the past several years, the PC versions of FIFA games have been lacking the majority of the features found in the console cousins. Last year saw an improvement, with a graphics engine close to par with what the console-toys were delivering, but a lot of the gameplay changes had failed to make the transfer.

I’m a few months late to the party, but I have just completed RAGE, and I don’t think I have ever felt quite so let down by a game ending. I am really disappointed with how iD Software approached the ending of the game, it feels like they just gave up when they got to that last level. Spoilers abound after the jump.

I must admit, Just Cause 2 failed to hold my attention. Despite the beautiful vistas, the open-world gameplay and the varied missions, I quickly tired of the poor driving mechanics, the rather pre-school approach to physics, and the predictable AI of my opponents. It was with a sigh that I finally returned the game to the digital shelf of Steam and moved on to pastures new. To return to the tropical paradise of Panau, I thought, it would take something very special indeed.

Somehow, I haven’t yet played Dear Esther even though it is possibly one of the best game mods to have been released in recent year. What started out life as a mod for the Source engine has evolved into being just a few weeks away from a full independent release through Steam while also being nominated for four awards at this years IGF awards including the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. The price of the game has been confirmed at a very reasonable £6.99/$9.99. You can also find the latest trailer after the jump.

Hopefully we shall be taking a closer look at this one soon.
Trials Evolution Looks Amazing
We are big fans of Trials here at The Reticule, be it the PC version, or the later Xbox Live Arcade version, which if I am honest, absolutely blew me away when I first played it a couple of weeks ago. This new video from the latest Inside Xbox shows off RedLynx's new title, Trials Evolution which is looking absolutely stunning. The multiplayer races, and the track editor are going to be highlights of this new title. I can't wait to get hands on with it when RedLynx release it.
