Left Mouse Button Now With Scoring System!

We aren't a massive fan of numbers here at Left Mouse Button. Main sees them all too often on his computer wizardry university course, I have to work with calculating odds of races all the time and Jay can't actually count. Personal gripes with the things aside, they just aren't healthy for the mentality of ... Read More

Review: Mass Effect 2

The first Mass Effect was a fantastic game. The game delivered a cinematic play experience while allowing player choice in a way that hadn’t been done before.  Add to that workable (but not great) shooter controls, impressive voice acting and a great story, and you have a great game. The game did feel a little ... Read More

Chronicles of the Last Fantasy Part 4

Final Fantasy X marks a rather important milestone in the Final Fantasy/Square saga. Most obviously it was the series' first outing on the Playstation 2, but it also marks the point where poor Japanese developer Squaresoft, in catastrophic bankruptcy spirals after Spirits Within flopped, were bought out and merged with the American Enix corporation. Call ... Read More

Review: Bayonetta

I feel cheated. This is probably not a good sign. When buying Bayonetta it was between it and Darksiders (we all have a budget after all) and for a good while I've been wondering whether I should have bought Darksiders instead. Like a poor break up line, it's not you Bayonetta, it's me. You're just ... Read More

The Right Click: I Hope You’re Happy!

With the news that Modern Warfare 2 has made $1 billion in profits, Activision must be laughing its head off. You, the gamer who said you'd boycott Modern Warfare for a plethora of reasons, has failed! Not only have you failed, you bought it as well! You gave in to your capitalist ways. You played ...

Review: Assassin’s Creed 2

We might as well admit it, Assassin Creed wasn't a very good game. It lacked polish, it was overhyped and its story was rather clumsy and convoluted. The main character, Altair, was an arrogant cold character that was extremely difficult to like. The world was interesting, but the sci-fi aspect to it never felt properly ... Read More

The Right Click: Dante’s Inferno

I wonder what Dante Alighieri would have said if you had told him, that in the century of our lord 21, his novel The Divine Comedy, would be turned into uneducated trash for the video games masses. Of course then again I wonder what Shakespeare would have thought as well if he found out English ... Read More
