When you get puzzles right in Level-5’s brain teaser series, you get a short animation of Professor Layton thinking as a little reward. But, if the game really wanted make you feel victorious, it’d give you these flashes of the Prof’s beefcake alter ego. You all remember him from this year’s PAX East, right?

This is Outlast, a first-person, combat-free horror game about investigating an asylum.

The man best known for helping create Gears of War had a spotlight talk at PAX East this past weekend and he talked about his relationship with video games.

Side-scrolling indie action game Apotheon is looking a lot better since last we saw it. We saw it at PAX East in Boston this past weekend, where it appeared to be shaping up as promising mix of Metroid and... Mount & Blade?

This is State of Decay, a new Microsoft-published Xbox Live Arcade game that might be one of the most ambitious digital titles I've ever seen. It's an RPG, and also an RTS, and also a zombie survival game, and also a simulator, and if you're confused by all this, I know exactly how you feel. You can watch some video…

I got to play about an hour and a half of Metro: Last Light at PAX East this weekend. What I played felt like two different games.

In all its Supergiant Games glory, here is that 15-minute PAX East demo, thanks to TotalHalibut. Listen to that music, listen to that awesome voice acting. And take in all the art.

Transistor—Supergiant Games' latest project since their incredibly compelling Bastion—is a sexy game. Not because there's any actual sex (or at least none that I know of!). And not because of any of the other traditional definitions of the word. This isn't a typical kind of sexiness where short skirts and muscular men…

There were a lot of big games at PAX East last weekend—Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed IV, The Last of Us—but the biggest lines were for Transistor, the newest action-RPG from the makers of Bastion.

There were plenty of delicious Borderlands announcements at PAX East today, but those who weren't present for the revelry may be feeling left out. Thus, a treat is in order! Gearbox was apparently handing out SHiFT codes, which give players access to special golden keys. Predictably, golden keys open golden loot…

343 Industries announced during a PAX East panel yesterday that Halo 4 will soon get its own version of Halo: Reach's Forge World map (pictured above), a feature that has been missed since 4 launched. Called "Forge Island" and releasing for free on April 11, the map will provide a series of open spaces in which Halo 4…

It's no secret that Nintendo has had a major problem marketing the Wii U. Most non-gamers (and even some gamers) I speak with have no idea that it even exists. Even Jimmy Fallon couldn't quite figure it out—and he was supposed to be showing it off that night.

Rock, Paper, Scissors is too simple for our modern times. That's why Margaret Robertson and her fellow game designers at Hide & Seek have created Rock, Paper, Scissors, Hadoken, Baby Sloth.

Gearbox has been pulling this stunt at PAX East this weekend, and today during their panel they showed this video of a whole bunch of people getting punked.

Gearbox showed off a little trailer that looks like Tiny Tina is playing something of a Dungeons and Dragons-esque board game, but Brick, Mordecai and Lilith aren't quite understanding her rules.

Gearbox recognizes that there are some...flaws with Aliens: Colonial Marines. That's why they're continuing to work on patching the game.

It's been quite some time since the internet gave Tim Schafer a whole bunch of money and unknowingly started the Kickstarter revolution, for better or worse.

Gearbox announced a new playable class at their PAX East panel today, but now you can see the psycho bandit in action, in-game.

Gearbox's last Borderlands 2 loot chests were such a hit, they decided to make a new version to match the style (aka diamond plated) of the in-game chests in the sequel.
