Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, came out last week. If you played it, you may notice that its main character, Rex “Power” Colt, is an unstoppable, one-liner army.

Remember, We’ve Got a Lot More than Los Santos to Discover in GTA V
At first I thought we were getting a subtle glimpse of San Fierro in Grand Theft Auto V, but now I’m not so sure. The bridge in this shot, one of a dozen screens Rockstar released yesterday, doesn’t bear enough of a resemblance and the location is out of whack. Hell, I was hoping that…

In Case You Missed Last Night’s Live Stream, Here’s The Best Part
Last night, as part of my review of the AverMedia Live Gamer Portable, I streamed random Steam games from my PC for nearly an hour and a half. I took requests. I chatted with readers in the Twitch.tv chat box. I hid in a tunnel and amused myself. Gearbox has gotten a lot of flak…

Hellraid Doesn’t Look Half Bad for a Medieval Dead Island
Man… this trailer. Yes, Techland’s 2013 first-person slasher Hellraid has a silly name. And yes, the Dead Island games have never been perfect. But this game looks like they took the best part of Dead Island (the combat) and applied it to a setting that screams “Dark Messiah“. How can I say no to that?

SimCity’s Problems Have Caused This Family Nothing But Suffering
Meet the Rogers. They live in that tiny little house. One of the first families to move into my burgeoning metropolis of Windfall Islands, they are stalwarts of the city, having stayed in the same spot, in the same house, for what feels like an eternity.
