Trials Evolution is exploding onto the scene like an Evel Knievel Bay cocktail. The hard-as-nails stunt-fest is back, and this time it’s packing a level editor that does more than make new areas for your motorcycle to spin around in: it’s going all Little Big Planet on us, allowing for the More >

Dishonored, like Assassin’s Creed, is a rooftop-jumper, assassination-focused game, but players will also be given special powers, such as the ability to temporarily freeze time. With multiple optional routes to objectives, and a semi-open world, it should make for an entertaining and re-playable More >

With fighting games, you sometimes already have a niche audience to shoot for, despite how much the genre has grown throughout the past few years. Within the people that are fans of them because of simple enjoyment, you have an even smaller niche that enjoys the finer intricacies of the systems More >

I think there’s only one man in gaming who can leave me dumbfounded after simply watching a short trailer. This man is Suda 51, or Goichi Suda, as he was officially named at birth. He never ceases to make his games visually shocking, and Lollipop Chainsaw is no different. In fact, I think this one More >

Ninja Gaiden 3 review: Sometimes being too epic can be a bad thing
1 year ago
Back during E3 2011, the Ninja Gaiden 3 demo was impressive. It showed off the first stage while keeping the hack-and-slash style Ryu fan’s have been familiar. Oddly, the ability to decapitate and slice off opponents limbs and all the blood were gone.
In anticipation for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 3, I More >

If you thought Max Payne 3 would be tacking multiplayer on just to attract the crowds who like it, you’re possibly wrong. I can’t say that without a doubt that it’s going to turn out great, but as of right now, Max Payne 3 looks to have a multiplayer component that is on par with some of the best More >

Capcom has just sealed onto disc, a collection of 8 arcade-style games that all feature co-op play.

Hello there, so-called PC “master race”. You may have gotten The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but your collection isn’t complete–no, definitely not.

Of Orcs and Men is an in-development PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 game that forgoes the typical handsome, manly man-hero, and instead offers up an awkward pair: a giant orc who hails from a league of warriors named the “Bloodjaws”, and a goblin whose dark magic and stealth skills complement the orc quite More >

Shenmue and the God of War series made quick-time events a well-known gameplay element.

Judging solely by this latest trailer, I think we can safely assume that there will never (ever) be a lack of car-smashing in DiRT Showdown.
