Sony's free massively multiplayer online game has only been live since late April, but the company has already been able to achieve huge headway in carving out a community. As it stands, the game has already attracted well over 2 million users to the service and is on track to break through the 3 million user mark in the next few weeks. While the numbers may pale slightly in comparison to the likes of market-leader Blizzard and its World of Warcraft 11.5 million...
Continue Reading »Demon's Souls has been out in Asia for several months now, and it's been receiving a lot of positive attention from other regions. North American role-playing game fans will be happy to know that Atlus has decided to scoop up this hidden gem and publish it here. We've only had the opportunity to scratch the surface of this intriguing RPG at E3, but from what we've seen, it looks like it could easily suck up a huge amount of time. It's an action RPG that you play alone for the most part, but you aren't truly alone in your quest because you'll come across the ghosts of other players...

Join the Red Faction from the comfort of your own home
You don't have to go to E3 to visit Mars, you just have to hit our video tour of the Red Faction: Guerrilla THQ booth. Please make sure your sledgehammer fits in the overhead compartment.
Check it out » Fans of the God of War games know that Kratos rarely needs a good reason to dish out some of the most brutal onscreen lashings ever seen, but it just so happens that this time around our less-than-affable hero has found the perfect reason to justify his rage: revenge. With E3 2009 tapering off on its final day, we managed a sneak attack on the Sony Europe lounge, where we got our dirty little hands on God of War III and experienced the combat prowess of what could possibly be the angriest man in games.

We began the demo a minute or two into the...We had the opportunity to check out more of the multiplayer component of the futuristic first-person shooter Section 8 during a brief hands-on session at E3. Unfortunately, the single-player mode wasn't on display, but we do know that it focuses on the group called Section 8, which happens to be battling a splinter group of soldiers known as The Arm of Orion. Both are fighting for control of a colony called New Madrid. Section 8's multiplayer supports up to 16 players in a regular server match and up to 32 on a dedicated server. Our particular match seemed to have a mixture of bots and other players on...
Continue Reading »The biggest gaming event of the summer is over and done with, and though the dust is still settling, this was definitely a year of major announcements for Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, and just about everyone else. We understand that with so much to read and watch (more than 295 original news and previews stories and 425 videos posted!), it's hard to keep track of everything, so we're here to lend a helping hand. Check out all the highlights from the show, conveniently organized for you here!
Pre-Show
Monday was a day of press conferences. Though the show didn't officially begin until the next day, Microsoft kicked things off with its media briefing, which was followed up by press conferences from Electronic Arts and Ubisoft. Though it was a day full of news, the unveiling of Microsoft's motion-sensing camera, code-named Project Natal, took the cake.
The news team assembled late in the day to recap their thoughts about the show with a special episode of The HotSpot, and our photographers snagged plenty of pictures. Take a look at photos of the pre-show preparations, the construction of our booth, the hallways and buildings of E3, and the Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft press conferences.
