Mojang's 0x10c has the potential to be staggeringly neat, but as you can see from this video demonstration of the game's art, there's still a long way to go. PC Gamer caught up with designer Markus "Notch" Persson to chat ab...

Look, I could give you a rundown of everything that's said in this new Need for Speed Most Wanted trailer. Or, you know, you can just watch it. You really should watch it, as it shows off just how awesome and frantic the mul...

Pig masks. Are they ever not terrifying? This trailer for Hotline Miami, a mix of live action and footage taken from the top-down action game -- or, in Devolver Digital's words, the "top-down f*ck-'em-up" -- seems like a nat...

Daedalic's charming adventure series Deponia is making a return next month. Yeah, I had no idea either. The game is being labeled a sequel -- not a chapter -- even though the last one came out only two months ago. The above ...

The 3D fad has more or less died, but that's not stopping Treyarch from including 3D support in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. They've even partnered up with LG Electronics to offer a discount for those that buy the game and one...

I was on the outside looking in during the Pushmo craze, still without a 3DS. While I could appreciate seeing Dtoiders recreate Jonathan Holmes’ face, I couldn’t explore its depths and intricacies -- its well-worn...

The first video from Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn was a bit slow, but that's not entirely unexpected given the way this content is cut up into weekly installments. Today's part two was a step in the right direction, I thought. ...

I've been trying to peg Forza Horizon since its announcement earlier this year, but Turn 10 and Playground Games never gave it to us straight. Is it more of a racing sim? Or a casual, arcade-style thing? Somewhere in-between?...

Will this be the the Monster Hunter to finally win you over? That's what I'm wondering for myself. Maybe this fresh footage out of New York Comic Con will play into that decision -- the game certainly looks crisper in high d...

When developer diaries are bad, they can be horrendously awful. This one, for Digital Extremes' Warframe, is actually quite nice. Rather than have canned, PR-fueled talking points, they got some people working on the game to...

I whiled away many hours in my youth playing Cannon Fodder on the Amiga, mostly replaying failed missions. It could be a brutal game, and its anti-war message was completely lost on my young mind, but I delighted in my victor...

[Update: Rockstar has just officially confirmed this collection, coming out on November 6 for $59.99.] Retailers Buy.com and CDUniverse.com have outed a Rockstar Games Collection which is set to include Grand Theft Auto: Epis...

Or slice, crush, pierce, and generally murder. Assassin's Creed III's Connor appears to be even less subtle than his ancestors and not exactly what I would consider assassin material. He seems to make it work, however, so mo...

Capcom has provided some clarification on their plans regarding on-disc elements which appeared to be future downloadable content for Resident Evil 6, discovered by modders earlier this week. In a post at Capcom-Unity, the pu...

Yesterday, the world spun off its axis in sheer amazement after learning of He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe.

I can respect that!

One thing I love about Atlus is that they can't just simply port a game. They have to go all-out (All-Out Attack!) and add a whole bunch of new stuff to make sure that everyone is onboard. They break your power to resist buy...

Sweet nostalgia is the hook by which Chillingo and Glitchsoft hope to snatch you with He-Man, a new brawler coming universally to iOS devices. It's based on the old cartoon, you see. This means I'm going to buy it. Because I'...

Someone thought it was a good idea to take the already weird looking new PS3 and barf up little gold-colored emblems on it as a special edition release for Yakuza 5. I found this ghoul of a game system on Sega Japan...

Simon Pegg's love of zombies and indeed Left 4 Dead 2 is well documented, but it could be that his blessing will breathe new life into a stagnant mod. Left 4 Winchester was a mod started in 2009 based on the comedy zombie hit...
