I normally don’t post game trailers on this site, since there are plenty of places to go to find the latest ones. But when I came across this game I had never heard of before, I had to share it here.
Thanks to PSN and XBOX Live, we are getting more games that take a ’simple’ [...]

I think a lot of people would agree that the most pleasant surprize in gaming this year is Portal, the most underhyped portion of The Orange Box. Portal was actually the part we were looking forward to most, but little did we know that a simple puzzle game would be so immersive and contain [...]

Looks like I was thinking along the right lines, as Bionic Commando was my first choice when coming up with a list of old school 2D video games that need to be revamped – in 2D. Okay, so I was only partially correct this time; Capcom also wanted to make a new Bionic Commando game, [...]

Microsoft’s E3 press conference just ended, and, well, there were no huge announcements to make (including no price drop on the 360). Gameplay footage was shown for Halo 3, and live gameplay demos were shown for Assassin’s Creed (which actually looks pretty cool, but from what I’ve seen here I can’t believe it’s ready [...]
