BioShock 2 Multiplayer Lobby Preview: Yes, The Lobby
The multiplayer mode of BioShock 2 isn't just supposed to be a fun activity for multiple gamers. It's supposed to be a prequel to the first BioShock. A prequel told through multiplayer? How absurd, I thought, before entering its lobby. More »Borderlands Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot Preview: Eyond Underdome
Join me as I strap on my weapons and take a trip deep into Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, the second dose of downloadable content for Gearbox Software's Borderlands. More »BioShock 2 Preview: Maybe It Was Needed After All
It's hard not to start playing BioShock 2 without thinking about it as one of the most unnecessary sequels in gaming. It is easy, however, once playing has begun to recognize it as a very promising game. More »Dementium II Preview: A Metroid With Dread
They're mixing Metroid with Resident Evil again, and gamers who want to play an M-rated game like that on the DS just might have to give the makers of Dementium II some thanks. More »Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer Preview: Seriously. Come Back Here With My Tank! [UPDATED]
I have a thing about tanks. If I can drive it, I will. If I can run you over with it, I shall. If you take it from me, I will chase you down and blow it up. Because if I can't have it, nobody can! More »Splinter Cell: Conviction Multiplayer Preview: Separation Anxiety Times Two
The multiplayer in Splinter Cell: Conviction is all at once similar to other Splinter Cell games and somehow entirely different. A lot of this comes from having a second person to look out for at all times. More »Spore: Creatures Preview: The Next Step
For those of you that longed to take your Spore: Origins creature onto dry land for the next step in the evolutionary process, this iPhone game is for you. More »Need for Speed Shift iPhone Preview: Need For Cornering
I'm not bad at racing games — I can speed, swerve for pickups and wreck the car, no problem. I'm just bad at driving, so if there are no pickups and you're not supposed to crash, well... More »Simpson Arcade iPhone Preview: Steeped in Authenticity
The Simpsons has enjoyed a lot of unique video games to its name in the last 18 years. Even the Grand Theft Auto knock-off, Hit & Run, felt special just because it was The Simpsons in all its Matt Groening glory.No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Preview: Fear And Loathing At Ubisoft
Two weeks before my appointment with Ubisoft, I managed to inflict a stress fracture on my ankle. So my opinions of the game are colored by the painkillers I took two hours before heading off to meet Goichi Suda. More »Heavy Rain Impressions: An Ambitious Sorrow
In its opening chapters, Heavy Rain is a quiet downer, a rare — for a video game — persistently sad experience. That makes the unusual PlayStation 3 exclusive one of the most interesting titles of early 2010. More »Star Wars: The Old Republic Preview: The Space Inquisition
Super Monkey Ball 2 iPhone Preview: Hollaback Monkeys
Anyone who played Super Monkey Ball for the iPhone probably isn't thrilled to hear about the sequel hitting the App Store today. But before you say "this shit is bananas," know that Sega completely redid their approach to the game. More »The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Snow Temple Preview: Ditching Zelda
Two of the major selling points for The Legend of Zelda: Spirits Tracks have been the train and the addition of Zelda to Link as a companion character. But what can you expect from the rest of the game? More »The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Multiplayer Preview: Spreading The Phantom
It seems like nobody noticed (except of course the developers) that Link's newest adventure has a multiplayer mode. Too busy paying attention to trains and a ghostly Zelda along with Link for the ride, I guess. More »Monster Hunter Tri Preview: Army of Four
Monster Hunter is all about the multiplayer, which is why I think it never really took off on PSP in the US the way that it did in Japan – American PSP owners are just too selfish for the buddy system. More »Phoenix Wright WiiWare Preview: Throwing Out Objections
Phoenix Wright is the most badass attorney next to Law & Order's Jack McCoy. He's so awesome that he even has his own musical, where he's portrayed by a woman in drag. More »Just Cause 2 Preview: Eat Your Heart Out, Spider-Man
"Sandbox third person shooter/action game" is a mouthful. Let me instead suggest an alternate label for Just Cause 2 the effectively sums up the experience: "BASE-jumping, grapple hook parachuting with guns." More »Star Trek Online Preview: Ignoring Regulation
Let me get this out of the way: I'm not a Trekkie. I was a loyal Star Wars fan until the prequels and thereafter switched my science fiction allegiance to Neal Stephenson. More »Calling Preview: Ju-on, Take Two
Halloween might be long gone for 2009, but Japanese horror is fashionable all year round. Or at least Hudson hopes to make it so with Calling. More »Rooms Preview: Sliding Under The Fun Fence
If the puzzles of the Professor Layton games and the moody, noir setting of 2005's Hotel Dusk could somehow mate and produce offspring, Rooms would be it. More »
