  • Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my time with Phantom Doctrine. It nails the era of espionage it looks to embody. And if you're a fan of the genre, there are plenty of tasty permutations in the mix. All the same, the game is guilty of spreading itself a litt...

  • Abstract:  It's been a long and difficult road, but I finally think I've got the hang of Phantom Doctrine. I'm assaulting a Beholder spy cell in Denver, meaning I must infiltrate and neutralise all the enemies inside. Ideally I'll do this without raising the alarm...
