The Voice of Edge of Time‘s Spider-Man is So Dreamy

Why do we have freaky giraffe-necked Andrew Garfield playing Spider-Man in the 2012 film reboot when the voice of Spider-Man from the cartoons and games looks this good?

Halo: Anniversary Deftly Repaints Gaming History

Confession: I wasn’t all that excited about the E3 announcement of Halo: Anniversary.

Turns Out Penny Arcade’s Game isn’t Dead Afterall

Remember when we told you that the only way you’d be able to enjoy the last two chapters of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness was by reading through them on the webcomic’s site? Apparently we lied. Today the duo said that they have struck a deal, my money is on an…

Tremble Before Our Massive Borderlands 2 PAX Gallery

You thought you saw all there was to see of Borderlands 2 at Gamescom last week? These two fresh shots direct from PAX will show you how very slightly wrong you were.

I Can’t Believe It: The Razer Blade Might Not Just Be the Future of PC Gaming—It May Be the Future of PCs

Does PC gaming need to be saved? It’s a question so arrogant it upset gamers for weeks after gaming peripheral manufacturer Razer posed it. After seeing this morning’s reveal of their new creation, the Razer “Blade” gaming laptop, I think I’m ready to go one better: I think Razer may not just save PC gaming—I…

The Sights, Sounds and Costumed Brute of Halofest

Elevator Action Deluxe Adds Much Needed Dancing, Pompadour to Arcade Classic

What’s a developer to do when the game they’re bringing from the arcade to console is already just fine? Add funky dancing and crazy haircuts of course! The Aug. 31 release of Elevator Action Deluxe does also include the original Taito arcade classic, so I may be able to cope.
