The F.E.A.R. games have an incredibly interesting relationship with Monolith Productions other big game series, Condemned. While Condemned was a more down to earth game with some quasi-supernatural elements to it, it focused more on creating an atmosphere of gripping terror and a lesser emphasis on the combat. Read More.

As a gamer of almost 25 years now, I'm used to games kicking my ass. Playing in the NES era, some games were so hard that I have yet to beat them to this day. But I have never had my ass kicked quite like THQ's new contender for the video game fitness crown, UFC Personal Trainer. Read More.

The experience of being a marine isn't supposed to be like games like Halo and Duke Nukem. You aren't some over strength one-man army action hero. You are part of a team and being a part of that team means that you bring in your strengths and weaknesses with the rest of them. Read More.
The question that is on everyone's mind with the long awaited release of Duke Nukem Forever is this: does age and time, like with a good wine, make a game better? In the case of Duke Nukem Forever, the answer is a resounding no. After over a decade of development, numerous restarts and developer changes, Duke Nukem Forever is not the Duke you remember.

MX vs. ATV has quickly become the go-to franchise for motocross fans looking to get their race on. With this year's iteration, MX vs. ATV Alive, THQ decided to change things up a bit. Instead of releasing a fully-loaded, and fully-priced, game at launch, they opted to offer the "core game" at a reduced price of $40, and supplement it with downloadable content after launch.

I'll say it right now. I'm a fan of EA's recent infatuation with classic literature. While their titles based on classic works like Alice in Wonderland or Dante's Inferno may not be the most original games in the world gameplay wise, the mere fact that they're thinking outside the box for their newest titles shows ambition and a fresh attitude towards making games can only be good for the industry.

When she walked through the door, I wasn't sure what to think of her. Sure, I knew who she was, but who in this stinkin' city didn't? L.A. Noire, the sexy dame, with facial mo-cap software that would get her noticed across a smoke-filled room of schemers and dreamers; a plot torn from the leather-covered books that lined my shelf; the kind of development lifetime that would make any two-bit gamer wonder if she had the right stuff.

Let it never be said that Relic, the developers behind Dawn of War II, doesn't understand the concept of an expansion pack.

When word came around that Red Faction Armageddon was going to trade in the wide open dunes of Mars' surface for the underground tunnels of the first game reactions were mixed.

Yet another new gadget has appeared for a system and this time it's for the Wii. Nintendo released uDraw, a 'board' you literally 'draw' on with a 'pen' that's attached to the unit, and with it, the game Spongebob Squigglepants. Read More.
When Din's Curse, the Diablo-like hack-and-slash RPG came out early last year, I was quite impressed with what it achieved. It gave gamers a somewhat typical dungeon-dwelling experience, spruced up with a town that was under seige, randomly generated quests, monster factions that interacted with each other, and a huge variety of customizations for your character and the world.
