At its best Lost Planet 2 is a sort of inverse Shadow of the Colossus. It is a game that allows you to not only climb up its monstrous behemoths, but inside them, dishing out damage to the creature’s organs as fellow gamers continue the attack from outside. Packed with stunning graphics, four-player coop, and…

Ignore the fact that the techno doesn’t quite last the length of the game play, and sit back to watch a bit of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 brought up to next-gen speed. I’ve never been a big fan of Marvel VS. Capcom 2—I know… blasphemy—but I have to admit, it was fun to play last…

Last week, Bethesda Softworks gathered game writers in London to check out their upcoming titles during a two-day long gamers’ day.

But the acrobatic shooter dances, sword slicing, guns blazing, on the razor’s edge of sheer spectacle, dangerously close to being…
