We’ve updated our Resistance: Burning Skies review now that we’ve been able to play the game’s online multiplayer against regular gamers. We’ve switched the ‘Should You Play This Game’ verdict from “Not Yet” to “No”. Full explanation/review here.
Shouldn’t there have been a disc in here? I thought this game was already a couple of years in development. It’s E3 season, folks….this kind of stuff just so happens to show up in the mail (from Ubisoft, naturally.)
I didn’t say the quote in the headline here. The EA spokesperson who just sent me this screenshot from Dead Space 3 did. We’ll have much more coverage of the game next week at E3. But, you know… that was cold, EA rep. Cold like the planet in that game. I think you know the…
Criterion, makers of some amazing racing games, are officially making the next Need for Speed Here’s the first screenshot, from EA. The game is called Need for Speed: Most Wanted, as expected. You know what else had that name? A very good 2005 Need for Speed that was all about police car chases. Criterion is…
Ed Boon, the father of Mortal Kombat has a priority for the DC Comics super-hero fighting game his MK studio is making. He wants to make the backgrounds, the levels, play “as pivotal a role as the characters you chose.” When you decide to play as Superman in a battle against someone playing Solomon Grundy,…
Even if you’re tired of the Lego video games (I’m not), you’ve got to admit this looks cool. Or cute. Or… come on. Lego: The Lord of the Rings? There are those among us who would eat this stuff up, yes? We’ve got a teaser for the new Lego Lord of the Rings game here,…
Hello. Have you heard of the Hitman video games? You may have seen a trailer in which a well-dressed man murders sexy killers who are in the habit of dressing like nuns. The trailer is surprising, because, Hitman games have always been about challenging players to commit stealthy murder and are a shade more sedate—and…
Yesterday, I speculated that the next Gears of War, the one semi-revealed by the folks at Game Informer magazine, will be developed by the talented crew at People Can Fly who made the very good early 2011 first-person shooter Bulletstorm. I even teased People Can Fly creative director Adrian Chmielarz about it over Twitter. He…
Dishonored has pretty much come out of nowhere to become one of the buzz games of 2012 (justifiably so!), and everyone’s going to see some pretty cool gameplay from it tonight during GTTV‘s big pre-E3 show on Spike tonight. But how about a sneak peek for you? We can give you a taste of the…
Back in the day, the Game Genie was the thing you plugged into your Nintendo Entertainment System to get infinite ammo or unlimited lives, a fairly cheap add-on for proud and ashamed cheaters alike. The Game Genie died, but now it’s back. It’s actually been back since earlier in the year for DS, through a…
They won’t call it Gears of War 4 and they don’t call it Gears of War Karting, so what in the world is the name of the new Gears of War? The people at Game Informer magazine know, but they’re not saying until Microsoft announces the game at Monday’s Xbox 360 E3 briefing (which you’ll…
Last year the people making the TV show and video game that are both called Defiance performed a distracting magic trick. In an enclosed booth at the massive E3 gaming show they connected an Xbox 360 and a PlayStation 3 to each other via a network connection and let players on the rival machines play…
Red guys fight blue guys in what may be one of the more ambitious games on the horizon, the goofily-named Shootmania. It’s a heavily-moddable shooter from the people who made DIY racing sensation Trackmania and are even cooking up a modern-day RPG Maker called Questmania But Shootmania (technically, Shootmania Storm) is also something else: a…
Epic, creators of the Unreal Engine, has prevailed in court against Silicon Knights, creators of Too Human who sued Epic in 2007 over issues with the engine (basically that it was supposedly unfinished and sabotaged their work). “Case over. Jury finds for Epic on all counts,” Epic’s Mark Rein just Tweeted. The case had been…
New Little King’s Story, a sequel to the wonderful Wii role-playing game Little King’s Story will make it to America this summer. The game came out in Japan in March, but now the U.S. of A. gets it too. Official summary from publisher Konami to go with today’s new trailer: Featuring a brand new storyline…
A Doom 3 BFG Edition is coming to the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall with “hours of new content” including a seven-level solo section called “The Lost Mission”. But that’s not the crazy part. This is (emphasis added): “DOOM 3 was enthusiastically embraced by gamers worldwide at its release,” id’s technical director…
The hit basketball series NBA 2K is returning this October, of course. Sports games usually come back, and this time NBA 2K13 will have competition from a returning EA-made NBA Live No sweat for NBA 2K, right? That series has been terrific. But what’s this about a Wii U version? From the just-released press release…
Crysis 2, an EA-published game that disappeared from the popular PC gaming service Steam last year, returned today. Peace on Earth between Steam’s team at Valve and EA? Not exactly. EA pulled some of its games from Steam Steam pulled some of EA’s games last year due to objections about how Steam handled downloadable content,…
Our pal at Game Trailers, Geoff Keighley, will be debuting the demo of the next-gen Unreal Engine 4 graphics tech some time during E3 on Spike, but in the week before E3 he’s breaking some Nintendo fan’s hearts. He Tweeted last night that the Wii U, Nintendo’s console that’s close to the PlayStation 3 and…
This is the video game trailer that the people I follow on Twitter have been buzzing about all day. It’s for Among the Sleep. It’s a horror “experience” played in the first-person perspective. You’re just two years old. Official description from the people making the game: “In Among the Sleep you take on the role…
