At first glance, you may find Special Forces: Team X to be just another in today's long line of military shooters. I mean, for God's sake, it's actually called Special Forces: Team X. I don't think titles get more generic tha... more

Maybe it's just me, but it seems that every once in a while there is a game that comes out that makes a statement about MMORPGs. That the best part of those games is the player-versus-player segments. In 2007, there was the "... more
Strike Force Lightning, EDF operations here. You may notice that your PlayStation Vitas have been equipped with machine guns. Feel free to use them to shoot the hell out of the ravagers when they return in Earth Defense ... more
If you haven't heard of God Mode before, you'd probably surprised to hear that Atlus is publishing a Western third-person shooter. That's a far cry from the company's norm of working on obscure Japanese titles and creati... more
Saber Interactive and Old School Games have unveiled God Mode, a third-person shooter coming to PC, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade early next year in which you, a mortal descendant of a god, must survive the Maze o... more
The Zodiac Tournament downloadable content for Sleeping Dogs sees protagonist Wei Shen fighting for survival on a secret island tournament against the world's greatest warriors.

I'm not really sure what to think about Fuse. I was all about the game once I heard that it was a third-person shooter coming from Insomniac. Then they decided the game needed a more serious tone, but they were also going to... more

I'm pretty pumped for Dead Space 3 and I've been thinking a lot about how I want to approach it at launch. I'm pretty sure that I want to go at it full co-op from the beginning, and then go back in solo. It seems Visceral is... more
A wise man once said "The only good bug is a dead bug." Truer words have never been spoken, and its best that you remember them. The conflict with the terrifying ravagers looks primed to spread to both Europe and North Americ... more
Thinking back to 2008's Gears of War 2, I remember what a revelation Horde mode was. In those days, my online multiplayer rotation consisted of Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3. And while I was never terrible, my just-above-average ... more
Capcom has done just about everything possible to waste any consumer goodwill they've built up over the years. Even recent attempts to reconcile with fans have been met with scorn by some. The other day, I surmised that even ... more
Yup, Dead Space 3 will have Kinect voice control options similar to Mass Effect 3. And like the co-op experience, just because the feature is there doesn't mean EA will be trying to stuff it down your throat. With that said, ... more
2012 was a particular good year for shooters, as long-established franchises attempted to shake up the formula by introducing significant changes. Then you have titles that presented dark and twisted stories on top of the cor... more
Oh Army of Two, the little franchise that just keeps on keeping on. The first title followed mercenaries Salem and Rios and their dude-bro antics: blowing sh*t up and giving each other high fives along the way. The second att... more
Oh, hello there! Why not sit down and watch this trailer for Gears of War: Judgment, as seen during the Spike Videogame Commercials? It has guns in it, and some other things that aren't guns. Mostly guns, though. And shoutin... more
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD for the PlayStation Vita now has, after being delayed several times, a definite release date. Revealed on Just Add Water's Twitter page, Stranger's Wrath HD for the Vita will be launching on Dece... more

[For a glimpse at Defiance (the game) and its new PvP modes, check out our recent preview and return here for a look at the TV series.] “Four years ago, both we and Syfy knew we were going to do this, but we were like, ... more
The wasteland of Fallout may be impressive in terms of scale and detail, but I always feel a bit lonely in it. Defiance is such a world, but it’s one constantly shared with other players. At any time, your clan may s... more
I never realized before my hands-on time with Assassin's Creed III's multiplayer just how much fun the mode is. So much fun that it's easily going to be in my multiplayer rotation this year along side Black Ops II, Halo 4, a... more
It's hard to believe Sleeping Dogs has already been out for two months now. In an attempt to bring you back into the game's crime-ridden version of Hong Kong (that is, if you ever left it), Square Enix and the team at United ... more
Domino will be in the Deadpool videogame! That's, like, all the real new news we have on the Deadpool game. So how did she end up in the game? Deadpool has the answers: Dude, no brainer, man. Have you seen pictures of... more

More details have come out of New York Comic Con regarding Mass Effect 3's Omega downloadable content that we briefly heard about back when Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk announced their departure from BioWare. In short, it's go... more
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... more
What I love about David Jaffe is that he'll answer questions and damn the consequences. He was asked by one gamer how he'd fix Resident Evil 6, the polarizing action game that's received a famous critical mauling. He shared h... more
The latest look at Dead Space 3 features the creative director and the senior audio artist as they walk us through Isaac on the Eudora spaceship. The footage starts off very intense, as Isaac has to put on a spacesuit before... more
Up until recently, I've been exposed to Assassin Creed III in small doses. I saw an early glimpse of what to expect at the reveal event, enjoyed the new multiplayer offerings, and had fun sailing the seas. Yet in all thi... more

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... more
[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.] Nostalgia aside, examining the origins of now prevalent game concept... more
Trade show demos usually go one of two ways: well or very well. Even when a game stinks, the demo is usually put together in such a way that you can't even tell there is a major problem lying under the surface. Sure, Resident... more
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... more
The biggest question on my mind while playing Fuse was "why the change?" Overstrike had the potential to be something wacky, as a game that wouldn't take itself seriously. At least that's what I interpreted from the trailer. ... more
Some of you may remember Overstrike, a hyper-stylized shooter that made its debut at the Electronic Art's press conference during E3 2011. Since then, developer Insomniac Games went into total blackout on the title up until a... more
Konami has announced that the Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Rising: Revengance is canceled in Japan. The PlayStation 3 version of the game is still on track, though. Konami apologized on a posting on their site, but didn't g... more
