Ubisoft's free-to-play online shooter, Ghost Recon Online, just got a Halloween update. Nothing screams horror and pranks like tactical multiplayer combat. The surely terrifying Halloween content pack comes with new pla...

You had to have known that Psy's "Gangnam Style" was in the works for Dance Central 3. I'll be curious to see what society thinks of the song a decade from now, but for now, Harmonix is getting in on the sensation while the g...

The Xbox 360 version of Borderlands 2 has been having a few issues with some rather cheeky players using an external application to sabotage the characters of other players and disrupt their experience, the scamps! Earli...

Look at this beast of a limited edition box for Assassin's Creed III. It's so big that I couldn't even get it all in the shot. You'll see me do my best to show off the innards of this collection, which includes: a copy of A...

In addition to launching the full site for its third-person action game Warframe, Digital Extremes has started giving people access to the closed beta. Up first will be those of you who referred three or more friends, followe...

When Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn started, I wasn't exactly anticipating the arrival of Master Chief. Now that we're a few weeks in, however, I couldn't be more happy to see him taking on the Covenant and making the Hastati Squ...

I've been playing Need for Speed Most Wanted for quite awhile now, in both preview form and now with final code for our upcoming review. The Embargo Gods prevent me from saying much before then, but I'll sneak this out: it's...

First-party Nintendo DLC is a weird concept indeed, but at this point, I'm starting to get used to it. Despite the fact that one of the three Coin Packs in the last set of New Super Mario Bros. 2 add-ons wasn't up to snuff, N...

I found this new video on Konami Japan's YouTube channel this morning. It's not much at only 15 seconds long, but it's good enough that I've watched it 3 times already. The video's first sneak-behind stealth kill is one...

From the book of "better late than never," Ubisoft have released a Season Pass for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier on PC along with the arrival of the game's first piece of  DLC entitled, Arctic Strike. The...

[It Came from Japan! is a series where I seek out and review the weirdest, most original and enjoyable titles that never left the Land of the Rising Sun.] Distance has a way of making horrors insignificant. A car accident and...

Nintendo has revealed that the latest Animal Crossing game will be called Animal Crossing: New Leaf when it hits North America in early 2013. That was about the only bit of news Nintendo had in its Nintendo Direct stream toda...

You thought the name Bravely Default: Flying Fairy was goofy? Check out the name of the newly revealed sequel: Bravely Default: Praying Brage. What the hell is a brage? Praying Brage is a PC sequel to the 3DS game. Siliconer...

Odds are that as a child, you had the fascination of building things out of LEGOs. Or Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys, if we're going back a ways. Whatever the case, as children, we have a keen enjoyment of building stuff. This ...

I've played a lot of endless runners in my day -- and by "my day," I mean ever since I've seen the iOS and mobile market get flooded with them for the past three years. There's only so many times you can watch a dude run from...

Every so often, a tower defense title is able to pull me in, utterly disrupting my ability to function as a productive member of society. One of the more recent games to claim that victory was Defender's Quest, which not near...

Sega has released new downloadable content for Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit today. Two batches of new material are now available, the "Pimp My Rabbit" pack and "The Virtual Rabbit Missions." The "Pimp My Rab...

At this point there's really nothing more Atlus can say. They've got a great game on the way and we all want it. For the past few months it has been a situation where any update on Persona 4 Golden just has us nodding in app...

A free Resident Evil 6 update scheduled to release in mid-December will feature an adjustable camera system. You'll be able to tweak it to suit your tastes. In the gallery you'll find pairs of images that seem to show how the...

Medal of Honor: Warfighter is a funny name. Yes, "Warfighter" is a term with a real-life military application, but that doesn't stop it from sounding incredibly silly. It is gratuitously macho, not to mention rather redundant...

Can anybody tell how excited I am about this game? Is it that obvious? Aksys has dubbed the 13-minute Virtue's Last Reward OVA that originally came out last year. Unlike the game which uses polygon models, this mini movie fe...

Pointing a gun and firing comes easy in videogames. Ethics and morals never factor in during those moments of decision and there certainly isn’t any remorse. These are virtual bullets reserved for virtual enemies, aft...

Medal of Honor Warfighter is now available today, launching for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. To celebrate, here's the official single-player campaign launch trailer. As you may have heard, it was written by actual U.S...

If you have ten minutes, you should watch this city get attacked while James Russell, the lead designer on Total War: Rome II, goes into detail with the new mechanics.  I have played every Total War game to date, and th...

If you've been neglecting Guild Wars 2 as I regrettably have, the latest content update should offer plenty of incentive for you to clear some time for ArenaNet's Halloween festivities. Shadow of the Mad King begins today wit...

Zeus? How in the -- oh, right. This God of War: Ascension trailer is centered around the game's multiplayer. That's a bit more comforting. As you may or may not know already, players can align themselves with specific gods t...

Cave is arguably the best thing to happen to mobile gaming. There. Said it. I seriously suck at bullet hell-type games, but I still have to get everything that Cave sends your way for iOS devices. They're that good. The next ...
