Diablo III Release Date
After a release date for Diablo III failed to be mentioned at 2011’s Blizzcon, a lot of us were left disappointed, yet thirsty for some deep, dark and bloody dungeon crawling action! Naturally, as soon as the Beta was released, I dived right into it. Choosing from five appealing classes, the first thing you will […]
Starhawk Preview and Release Date
Fans of Warhawk rejoice as the upcoming follow-up is set to be released this year on the 8th May! Of course, don’t expect a game that just focuses on a vehicle multi-player experience. On the contrary, Starhawk’s single player campaign is where this game excels – think Armored Core meets Halo. Taking control of a […]
LittleBigPlanet Karting Officially Coming Soon
I’ve never been one for kart racing games, I absolutely loathed all Mario Kart’s and don’t even get me started on Sonic and Sega Racing. However, there is something about LittleBigPlanet Karting that draws me in. No, it’s not because the adorable Sackboy is put in a drivers seat, and no it’s not because I […]

Thankfully, on the […]

Sitting safely amongst the likes of Mario and Sonic, the Call of Duty series can rest easy knowing that it’ll be remembered ten years from now. It’s actually crazy to think […]
“Thursday Throwback” Tony Hawk Pro Skater
It was the game that kicked off a franchise and definitely one of my favorites. Even now as I go back and play it for the first time in years, I can’t help but get sucked in. I’ve already played this for a few hours and expect to be playing this more over the coming […]
Final Fantasy XIII-2 – Review
Boldly going where most other popular gaming franchises have gone before, Final Fantasy XIII returns for a sequel that is clearly intended to rope in a wider audience. Flashy battles, well polished graphics and the ability to time travel all sounds good, but the game is burdened with so many different flaws that it’s hard […]
Battlefield 3 – Montage 1
Here’s my first gameplay montage to be featured on TheAmateurGamer.com and it feels pretty good. I spent quite awhile capturing, selecting and editing the video. This has definitely been a learning experience and I hope the next video will be that much better because of it. One of the biggest lessons: Make sure the record button is on!! I would do […]
