DiRT Showdown is about cars smashing each other, I think
1 year ago
by Ryan Southard
in Video Games
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. I’m kind of glad that they’ve decided to make a whole game on this one element though, because the demolition derby races were one of my favorite parts of More >

in Video Games
FEZ is indeed a game filled with platforming, puzzles, and world-flipping. It’s the latest in a small string of games that have forged a new sub-genre in which turning the “world” to one side or another creates new opportunities. If you’ve played games like Crush or Echocrome on PSP, you’ve More >

Darksiders 2 is primed to bring an action-adventure…adventure like no other. I just hope this new one comes into its own rather than borrowing a hillside of elements from other popular games and then being made fun of incessantly for it. This new behind-the-scenes video with some of the creators More >

Have you been looking around the video game triple-a landscape and not seeing hardly anything both new and great? Though the usual sequels do their part to entertain, I can’t help but feel a bit of extra joy when a newcomer walks onto the scene. One such example is Dishonored, a game set to More >

L.A. Noire brought in millions of fans to the decades-old point-and-click adventure genre. Unfortunately for those fans, there aren’t a slew of games of that particular style available (especially on consoles). This is where The Testament of Sherlock Holmes comes to the rescue.

Sorry, Zombies, I know you usurped the popularity throne awhile ago, and it seemed like your reign was unending, but a new king is in town: dragons, or drakes as some people may refer to them.

I have to admit that I’ve been stealthily avoiding Darksiders 2 information. No, it’s not because I don’t want the game ruined for me. It’s because I really don’t dig the main character. He’s just a little too bold for my taste. You take Solid Snake, for example. He’s a badass, but he doesn’t go More >

SEGA just recently put out a demo for Binary Domain, a third-person shooter on PS3 and Xbox 360 that is essentially Japan’s take on Gears of War.

Did you know that 13% of Mass Effect players play as the default Commander Shepard? Honestly, I can’t fathom not customizing my character.
