You knew this was going to be bad, I knew this was going to bad. But, there’s a surprise! It’s NOT bad! It’s REALLY bad!

If there was ever a trial that was accusing Hollywood of sinking to unbelievably bad levels of mining for brand recognition, then Battleship would be Exhibit A for Atrocity. As I mentioned a few weeks …

Saints Row has traditionally been known as the bastard child of the Grand Theft Auto series. Mostly because SR, like GTA, dealt with gangsters stealing cars and fighting with the criminal underworld. But now, the series has evolved into something different: a supervillain simulator that has no pretensions to reality...and I wouldn't have it any other…

A major victory for the video game industry has been handed down by the Supreme Court today. In Brown v. Electronic Merchants Association (EMA), the Supreme Court has ruled in a 7-2 decision that a law prohibiting the sale of violent video games to minors is unconstitutional.

Great gaming experiences come once in a blue moon. Experiences that immerse you in the world and you're having so much fun that you don't want it to end. This week, one such experience was delivered by the smart asses at Valve, and it is called Portal 2

Story

For those who have never played…

Portal 2 is one of the biggest games of the year and is set to release this Tuesday, April 19th for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, and Mac. But PC and Mac owners can get the game much earlier...how you ask? By playing a bunch of indie games. 

It all started when Valve released the Potato…

The new trailer from the new Twisted Metal has arrived. Not only does it show the screwed up tone of the game with live-action cut scenes, but it also shows off the mayhem you'll be causing on the ride of your choice:

The series creator and developer behind the first God of War, David Jaffe, returns to helm this game. Initial previews of the game by journalists are all commenting on how delightfully insane the destruction and car combat is in this game. I…

Who would've thought a video game could influence a studio exec's decision? Many of you have heard that the remake to the classic 1984 Red Dawn was going to change the invading army's nationality from the Soviet Union to China.…

After months of pre-rendered cinematics and hype, we finally have our first look at gameplay in motion of the hotly anticipated Batman: Arkham City!

Well, I'm sold. The initial gameplay of what made Arkham Asylum so great is here, the fast and bone-crunching fighting system and the use of stealth to take out bad guys. Plus with a new extras that are improving an already get formula. One of the few issues people had with Arkham…

There are games out there that deliver powerful stories. There are other games out there that show the horrors and grittiness of war. Bulletstorm is neither of those games. Bulletstorm is a game that awards you points for pulling down a mutant's pants and shooting him in the ass. It's juvenile, it's crass, it's immature...and it's a hell of a lot of fun. Because what Bulletstorm does…

Some of you who peruse gaming websites have more than likely come across a very odd game, Minecraft. This 15 Euro downloadable/browser game breaks every rule about modern gaming development and has become THE success story of 2010. Since it was released in June by a single person as an Alpha game, as in INCOMPLETE, the game has since sold over 1 MILLION copies over the internet. How? How can an incomplete game be so ludicrously successful? So many reasons exist, but…

After the game's initial developer, 3D Realms, fired the development staff in May 2009, everyone in the gaming world swore it was dead. The rights…
