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?...

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...

DLC? In my Nintendo games? What is this madness?! Although New Super Mario Bros. 2 is not the first game on a Nintendo platform to feature DLC (Theatrhythm and Rock Band Wii take that honor), it is the first Nintendo develope...

It would be facile to say NHL 12 just skated by, sticking to the winning formula established in franchise’s resurgence. Still, as is occasionally the case with sports games that don’t need radical fixing, last yea...

Of Orcs and Men is out October 11, and Focus Interactive has released a nifty little launch trailer to celebrate. If you were unaware of this one, it's a story about an orc and a goblin as they fight their human oppressors. ...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has removed a map from its servers after Muslim gamers complained (in fairness, quite politely) of offense. The problem lies in two paintings hung in a bathroom in the Favela map, containing the...

Look, I didn't hate I Am Alive. We as an outlet did not hate I Am Alive. Some dug its monochromatic world and impossibly stiff challenge while others wrote it off as a frustrating experience that was not worth the v...

The fatal flaw of Kinect games is that they are built on a foundation of lies. You are the controller -- except most games control much of the action themselves to make up for the lack of input. It's more immersive -- except ...

When downloadable content was announced for Trials Evolution, I got nervous. The last thing I want to do right now is go back to see how badly my times are performing on the leaderboards, especially knowing that there's noth...

Here's a nice look at all eight of the new Giants characters in Skylanders Giants. This may be old news to hardcore fans frantically looking for any bits of news on toys, but for everyone else you can see just how cool they ...

People keep saying this: "Code of Princess is being called the spiritual successor to Sega Saturn classic Guardian Heroes." Say it once or twice and my interest is piqued. Say it any more than that and I get defensive. Why? ...

I have some pretty vivid memories of spending entire days playing Sonic Adventure 2 on both the Dreamcast and GameCube. I can clearly remember rollin' around at the speed of sound. I had places to go. I followed my rainbow. T...

For those of you who have lost count, this is the third time that I've reviewed Cave Story, and the second time I've reviewed it on the 3DS platform. That may sound like a lot, but I've actually been slacking. This eShop-spec...

Every now and then, a game comes along that can only be described as special. It features ideas we've never seen before or employs old ideas in fresh new ways. It's weird and wonderful, stuffed with humor or insane concepts. ...

Worms Revolution is some two weeks away from being released, and Don Keystone is attempting to, for the last time, explain Team17's strategy game to us with his oh-so-seductive voice in a new gameplay video. The 2D game...

When did Ubisoft start becoming awesome again? Who would have thought the French studio would be the one to properly reinvigorate the 2D platforming genre, thus beating Nintendo at its own game? That's how I felt when I first...

Sleeping Dogs will be getting a few downloadable content packs in the month of October, with the main one being the first story-driven extension pack. Details of what players will see with this particular pack will be reveal...

Capcom has released a few screenshots and a short video for an upcoming expansion to Dragon's Dogma titled Dark Arisen. As expected, we don't know a whole lot about this content yet, but the company specifically calls it a "...

I'm of the view that Gravity Rush is, and remains, one of the best games on the PS Vita, and worth a play, regardless of what you think of it in the end. Jim might not have cared for it, but it seems whoever was in charg...

The HMS Tribble was on fire. Every single room from the engine room to my recently purchased drone control room was being consumed one tiny square at a time. The valiant Captain Jack Jack was frantically attempting to regain ...

My love of Kirby is known far and wide. While the games themselves are incredibly simple, the sheer charm of the titular hero and his colorful world makes for endearing, unforgettable adventures. Kirby has also seen some of t...

I'm a sucker for action-RPGs, dungeon crawlers, hack-and-slash...things -- you know, whatever you want to call them. Those games. My wife and I eat them up like candy, sometimes over the course of a mere weekend (as was ...

You won't get very far on your escapades through the Internet without someone complaining about how much "games these days do nothing but hold your hand." This phrase is most often used when referring to gameplay, but the sam...

Way of the Samurai 4 is a weird game. This shouldn't surprise, as the whole franchise has rightly earned its reputation for being weird, quirky, and all manner of labels used to identify Japanese games. That said, like i...

Celebrated? Well, at least by me. I gave it one of our highest rated reviews of the year and for good reason: IT'S AWESOME! And now that it's on Steam for $7.99. You "Ugh, I only buy Steam games"-people have no excuse not to ...

Legend of Grimrock's map editor has been taunting us for some time now, with developer Almost Human posting videos like this. Well, lucky for us, the map editor is now available to everyone who owns the game through Steam.&n...;

Oh, the late 90s/early 2000s. In-line skating, graffiti, techno-infused Japanese pop, and the Sega Dreamcast ruled my life, in and out of gaming. It was a better time, a simpler time. However, nostalgia can be a funny thing. ...

For a while there, the 3D platformer was lost on Sony’s platform but then Insomniac found it. And, somehow, the Spyro guys made it better than the genre ever was on the PlayStation. Along with Naughty Dog and Sucker P...

The original LittleBigPlanet earned a lot of its praise through sheer charm alone. The cute presentation and unique creativity afforded to the player won it a lot of acclaim, despite the fact that, to be fair, the actual game...
