While I'm still not entirely sure what The Last of Us will be like from beginning to end, everything shown so far has looked most excellent. Following the impressive story trailer (that explosion!), developer Naughty Dog is ... more
When a PEGI listing for new RAGE downloadable content surfaced months ago, it felt a bit late, considering the game released in October of last year. Still, the add-on seemed like something we'd be interested in checking out ... more
Whether you have been playing the multiplayer content in Uncharted 3 religiously or just a smattering here and there, this weekend would be a good time to get some more of that in. Naughty Dog is hosting a bonus cash eve... more
The BioShock series has never been shy of offering political critique, and BioShock Infinite is biting closer to home than previous installments. The game themes itself around nationalism, racism, and what can happen when the... 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
Although some might argue that 2012 featured less must-have games than the last few years, those titles that did stand out from the pack were damn good, and it was difficult whittling down the very best to just a handful of n... more
Those who enjoyed the challenging "Ranger Mode" setting in Metro 2033 will have to get Metro: Last Light's Limited Edition -- announced today -- to get it in the sequel. The good news is that it's not one of those extrav... 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
Within my first thirty minutes of playing Black Knight Sword, I encountered a menu option called "cat head grass," a giant mother eye that eats hearts, and severed skulls in a microwave oven that serve as health power-ups. Yep, this is definitely a Grasshopper Manufacture joint. 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
Promising Steampunk action game Edge of Twilight is back in development with the newly branded Fuzzyeyes Entertainment Limited. The game, long thought dead, was resurrected in 2011 and has been silently worked on since. ... more
Visceral Games has today announced that Dead Space 3 will allow for Kinect voice commands, letting players scream things like, "Find partner," "Fire stasis," and "Attack enemy," in order to take down the Necromorph horde. "T... more
Following word that Assassin's Creed III had accrued 3.5 million sales within its first week, Ubisoft is reporting that the game is the "fastest-selling in the company's history." In terms of total worldwide sell-through, we'... more
Some strange music and then face smashing -- it gets right into it. It's one thing to rip the heads of minotaurs and goat dudes or whatever, but it's another to smash the face of another human with what looks like a giant me... more
Within my first thirty minutes of playing Black Knight Sword, I encountered a menu option called "cat head grass," a giant mother eye that eats hearts, and severed skulls in a microwave oven that serve as health power-ups. Yep, this is definitely a Grasshopper Manufacture joint. more
When there was still an arcade near my house, Midway games were the ones I often found myself pumping the most quarters into. During the last console generation, I scooped up the Midway Arcade Treasures collections to relive ... more
It's no secret that I'm a gigantic fan of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. For whatever reason, be it the more engaging than average world, the giant mushrooms, the increased freedom, or the ability to customize items and sp... more
So… have you ever wanted to be a cardboard shark hellbent on taking down “the man” and all his dirty, environment-destroying machines? Yeah it’s not something I ever really thought about eit... more
The best downloadable content, in my experience, serves as a low-risk workshop to spitball and prototype new ideas. Sometimes those ideas pop up later in, say, sequels: it’s impossible to get from Dragon Age: Origins to... more
Helicopters are complex, unwieldy machines. In games, their difficulties are either flat-out ignored (Twin Cobra) or make for one of the steepest learning curves you’ll ever face (Battlefield 2). Under Defeat is a ba... more
Zone of the Enders was a welcome departure from Hideo Kojima's legendary brainchild Metal Gear Solid back in 2001. While a stark contrast to tactical espionage action, Z.O.E. always weirdly felt like it could easily fit ... more
[This review contains some minor spoilers from earlier episodes.] It's over, then. The Walking Dead was a harrowing, turbulent, tragic journey that took seven months to play out, and ended with a couple hours of extreme viole... more
It seems as if Sherlock Holmes is more popular than ever; whether it's Robert Downey Jr.'s slow-mo charmer, Benedict Cumberbatch's gruff genius, or Johnny Lee Miller's American-based version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detect... more
Reviewing Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is difficult, because if I were to say it's bland, unfunny, and offensive, a large portion of the audience will fire back with, "Just like the show!" Meanwhile, another portion wil... more
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has some big shoes to fill. While the arena battle genre isn't exactly bursting at the seams these days, the inevitable cloud of Super Smash Bros. looms over Sony in more ways than they car... more
The first time I turned a sharp corner next to a goomba and tossed a red shell at King Koopa, I barely knew the world of Nintendo. Mario Kart was a great racing game for its time, providing one of the best arcade racing exp... more

Before going out to view Prometheus, I felt it necessary to watch the first three Alien movies again to get a more cohesive feel of the universe. After coming away from this marathon viewing, I noted once again how different ... more
I absolutely loved Crysis 2. It had a relentless pace, gorgeous visuals, and gameplay that tickled my brain as much as my trigger finger. For a game that was never on my radar (I never played the original on PC), it absolutel... 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
I love dudes, I love bathrooms, I love couches, and I love BioShock Infinite. You know what I really love? I love talking about BioShock Infinite on a couch in a bathroom with other dudes. Vito Gesualdi (Gamezone, Golden Cho... more
Konami has given us a pretty detailed look at what we can expect out of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. This first video shows the Metal Gear Ray battle that was teased months back, and it is pretty badass. Raiden slices and... more
BioShock Infinite begins much as the original begins: a mysterious man, lost at sea, on a mission that starts at a lighthouse and leads to who knows where. But then, the player ascends up toward the heavens, or at least wh... more
One of my fonder PlayStation 1 memories was of raiding tombs on a demo disc with the dual-wielding, ponytail-clad, buxom Lara Croft and her '90s edge reminiscent of an Alanis Morissette song. I ran about with my ostensible In... 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
Captain Scarlet and the Pirate's Booty is the first story expansion for Borderlands 2 and the overall plot sees you hunting after the legendary Captain Blade's lost treasure of the sands. The DLC takes place in Oasis, and the... more
Announced at gamescom earlier this year, Until Dawn puts players in control of the cast of characters in what looks to be a classic teen horror film. It's a PS3 title set for next year, and it uses the PlayStation Move contro... more
I finally had a chance to go hands-on with Sony's upcoming PS3 platformer Puppeteer here at New York Comic-Con at a PlayStation press event. It's as great as I imagined it would be after hearing about it at gamescom earlier t... more
In about two weeks, Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be released. While we've seen single-player content twice already, it wasn't until recently that we got to try out the game's multiplayer at length. Although the last game h... more
Criterion says that they pulled some of the best bits from several of their racing creations to make their latest, Need for Speed Most Wanted. They also gathered inspiration from the classic franchise title of the same name. ... more

As much as I enjoy collecting various limited editions of movies and games for the behind-the-scenes featurettes, I hardly ever get around to viewing them. After watching this trailer though, I would love to learn more about... more
The "Aftermath" expansion for Battlefield 3 is rolling out starting today, with subscribers to the Premium service getting it first on the PlayStation 3. Xbox 360 and PC players on the Premium service will get all this on De... more
I have to admit, you can throw a wave-based survival mode into almost any game, and I'll be happy. I've always got time for that particular game type, and the inclusion of Xenomorphs just makes it all the more perfect. ... more
Far Cry 3 keeps looking better every time I see it, and this introduction to it's multiplayer component is no different. The folks over at Ubisoft have got the staples of most modern first-person shooters covered with a XP a... more
Rockstar has just released the second trailer for Grand Theft Auto V, introducing its three protagonists, Michael, Trevor and Franklin. It's flashy, exciting and humorous, and shows some of the personal issues each character... more

The team behind Injustice released a new developer diary detailing all the new tech that they're bringing to their fighting game engine. The controls were also elaborated on, revealing that the block button is gone. Instead you just now hold the stick back to block. Injustice: Gods Among Us will be out April 2013 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U. more
[Update: It appears the servers were running all day during launch, and some issue with my PS3 actually prevented me from accessing the online mode. Once I'd just gone ahead and reset my connection on the system, it got in. ... more
Skyrim: Dragonborn is the next downloadable chapter in the Skyrim story, revealed today via a suitably dramatic new trailer. Yet again, it is only announced for Xbox Live at this time, with the PC version likely coming somet... more
