The race for the NBA championship is yet again nigh, and accompanying it is the traditional new edition of EA’s longstanding NBA Live franchise. Throughout its history, NBA Live has never been able to fully escape its status as an average basketball simulation, but it’s hard to fault EA for continuously trying. Still, despite its [...]

To the dismay of many shooter fans (and fans of Valve in general) Left 4 Dead 2 is only a little over a month ahead of us. Taking the boycotting and claims of it being a glorified expansion pack in stride, Valve asserts that Left 4 Dead 2 is not only a stand-alone game, but [...]

What do you get when you mix Psychonauts and Doom, and make the game an arena shooter? Well… probably nothing particularly savory, but definitely something resembling Dreamkiller. Developed by Mindware Studios, this is a game that has flown under the radar for the most part, but has a premise that is unmistakably unique, and should [...]

If you’ve ever played any Sims game, you’ll know that the characters speak in a nonsensical, fictional language called Simlish. This extends to music featured in the game.

When first announced, Bethesda’s next big project was described as more of a tactical shooter than a linear military game.

Looking to join the ranks of such gravelly orators as Solid Snake, Master Chief and Alex Mercer is Sean Devlin, a saboteur. But don’t worry; The Saboteur’s greatest qualities will probably extend far beyond the baritones of its main protagonist.

In The Saboteur, [...]

Assassin’s Creed is a game which was generally appraised as a fairly enjoyable experience. Despite its inherently intriguing premise, its repetitive gameplay and uninvolving action served to temper what could have otherwise been one of the hottest games of 2007. Two years later, both fans of that game and skeptics alike now have an inquisitive eye [...]

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.  That’s how I feel about the upcoming sequel Left 4 Dead 2.  With a $50 price tag I feel as though Valve is taking gamers for a ride, again.
Last year I wrote about how I thought the original Left 4 Dead was overpriced, [...]

Below your find the recently released trailer for Dead Rising 2 Terror is Reality where  4 players can play against each other in a Gladiator type of game except with zombies.  I don’t know, looks kinda weird.
