This looks like a novel little title,  especially now that we’ve seen a bit of the gameplay.  Not too much to say about it.  You take the roll of a little paint sponge roaming through a fairly open environment.  You can jump from point to point or take the time to paint the graying buildings in the city.  It may not be as innovative as Okami, but it does look like an entertaining platformer for the Wii.  It is expected to come out on September 22nd.  Read More →

There’s more information about the sequel to the popular skateboarding game.  Last year, Skate redefined what a skateboarding game should be.  It looks like the sequel will do even more.  They’ve added a ton of features to the buttons to compliment the flick controls from the last one.  You can now grab onto objects in the environments for handplants and it’s possible to take a foot off the board.  This all opens up a ton of more room... 

You get to shotgun werewolves and shoot rockets at griffins.  Do I honestly have to say anything else?  This looks like a really cool first-person shooter.  It’s basically the same as Call of Duty in it’s interface.  You’ll just be fighting hordes of mythical creatures instead of the usual Germans.  This really looks amazing with a good variety amongst the enemies.  Early reports are that you’ll actually have to alter your gameplay. ... 

Great news for PC gamers.  Rockstar has officially announced that Grand Theft Auto IV will make the jump to PC.  The expected release date is November 18 for anyone in the United States and November 21 for Europe.  The game will primarily stay the same, expect for some new expansions to multiplayer that haven’t been revealed yet.  Read More →

This was somewhat overlooked in the flurry of E3.  This sequel to the amazing RTS game last year is radically changing the formula for the game.  The focus is shifted toward a tactical environment with little to no base building.  You will instead controlling a group of units while following a free-form campaign.  The whole process basically follows like a series of quests that let you level up your squad, but failure is an option in all of them.  It’s... 

I honestly don’t even know what to say about this game.  It combines basic platforming with full physics games.  Each level basically works like a little playground with a ton of ways to win.  You can build platforms with sticks, use stickers on walls, play around with dark matter, navigate bridges, etc.  I don’t think a basic platformer has ever looked so polished and good. The big draw is all the social options though.  User-created content... 

This is a relatively interesting new title from Id.  Their new title is sort of like Fallout meets Mad Max.  Your character is an elite soldier sent forth by the remaining government of the world.  An asteroid wiped out most of the world, but a whole lot of mutants and hostile survivors made it through the nuclear winter.  You have to fight for order.  This doesn’t exactly break the mold for stories, but it looks like it should be a solid shooter... 

I hadn’t been holding my breath about this new addition to the Fallout series.  The little pessimist in my heart is screaming that this won’t live up to any of its expectations, but it just keeps looking better.  There was another gameplay demonstration of Fallout 3 and it is really looking good. The first quest that was demonstrated seemed to be in classic Fallout 3 fashion.  You run into a little boy who can’t find his dad.  You can... 

This looks like a fairly interesting release from Id.  On the surface, it’s just another World War II shooter.  There’s the standard weapons and a bunch of tactical choices that are poor knock offs of Call of Duty.  The cool aspect is the use of the “veil.”  The story follows some Nazi scientists trying to break the veil and gain infinite power through an alternative dimension.  This matters to you, because you can already briefly... 

This should be a fun treat for fans of the series.  This isn’t a full sequel to Tools of Destruction.  Instead, it focuses on about 4 hours of solid platforming as Ratchet tries to find out what happened to Clank.  Clank’s absence means some serious changes for the gameplay.  More efforts have been put into acrobatics and wrench play.  The wrench now has the ability to act as a grappling hook or even a light gravity gun.  The best news is...
