When you hear "World Golf Tour", unless you're a fan of golf your first response would probably be a big fat yawn. World Golf Tour Online, however, is something even non-fans would appreciate, as it is both easy to learn, and relaxing to play. Read More.
Anyone who has ever gotten into a Need for Speed title knows what the franchise is all about. It's about going fast in exotic cars with nary a thought given to realistic physics. This formula has done the franchise proud for years, and culminated in last year's Hot Pursuit remake. Read More.

Team based shooters on a console are at a bit of a premium these days. Ignoring team deathmatch games like Call of Duty, which are a dime a dozen, great co-op and versus online shooter experiences are rather limited. In fact, you pretty much have Valve's Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead to get a great objective based multiplayer experience these days. Read More.
When I heard GlaDOS's voice way back at E3 2010, memories of traps, puzzles, holes in the sky through which I can fly, and turrets flew through my head. So many turrets. But hearing GlaDOS's voice only meant one thing, and that was a sequel on the way. Needless to say, I was pretty excited with the prospect. Read More.
If you're like me and were born into the '80s and grew up in the '90s, there was no forbidden fruit in the world of gaming more tantalising than the gleefully gruesome Mortal Kombat series. I was never really allowed to play the game as a child, you know, with the responsible parenting thing that more gamer parents should look into, but I always found a way to get my spine ripping fix in the arcades or at a friend's house.

I was surprised when I first started playing De Blob 2 on the Nintendo DS. I think I was expecting a simple, watered-down version of the game that has come to consoles, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this wasn't the case. While the console versions of the game play out like some sort of platformer-adventure game hybrid, De Blob 2 on the DS offers more of a straightforward platformer game, with few frills but a good grasp on what it's trying to do and how it wants to deliver that.

You're a colorful blob of what appears to be animated paint. Your city and home, as well as the people that live there, are becoming grey and lifeless, devoid of color and emotion. You are a blob of animated paint whose sole ability is to spread color to whatever the heck you touch. Read More.
Released back in 2007, the original Crysis was an outstanding first-person shooter... for gamers with super computers. Thanks to the game's steep hardware requirements, a lot of people unfortunately never got to play it. Crytek, the game's developer, decided a change was in order for the sequel, making Crysis 2 a multi-platform shooter. Read More.
My experience with the Wii console to date has been rather lukewarm. The system has such promise but so few titles that really take advantage of the realities of motion control. Nobody can deny that there are some fantastic games for the system, some of which use the Wiimote and nunchuk to great effect. Read More.
In my youth, I could not be pulled away from Monday Night RAW. Yes, I'm one of those geeks that found myself riveted by the soap opera dramatics and high flying athletics that were present in every wrestling event. In recent years, my interest in the "sport" has waned somewhat, but I will always have a soft spot for the glory days of Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Yokozuna, Hulk Hogan and even Mr. Read More.
If you're a fan of fighting games then you've probably been keenly aware of the ten years since we last saw one of the Marvel vs. Capcom games. For awhile there they were churning them out at a rapid pace, bringing out new games in the series on basically a yearly basis. Read More.
The story goes something like this: Ultimate Universe Wolverine and an Asian version of the T-800 Terminator seek revenge on a well-dressed version of Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann from Full Metal Jacket. Along the way they meet a gal who's a potty-mouthed jailbait cross between Lara Croft and Zoey from Left 4 Dead. Read More.
