So we're a little late with this review of Flower, Sun and Rain, but cut us some slack, interpreting and attempting to understand a Suda51 game takes some time (plus some patience). Since we're a bit late, and it's damn near ...

Racing games are not for everybody. Well, the old ones were, but time went by, we slowly got away from the simplicity of just getting over the finish line first. Now we're at a point where we're controlling high-end simulatio...

Before writing this review, I promised myself that I would not write "ATATATATATATA" or make any reference to things being "already dead." Unfortunately, such a noble ambition is next to impossible. In fact, before I even mad...

FlingSmash introduces you to the varicolored world of Zip, a curious little critter who looks like a cross between a tropical fruit and a tennis ball. When his home, Suthon Island, is assaulted by the foreboding villain Ommin...

Long-in-development Explodemon! was originally a title for both WiiWare and PSN. Along the way, it became a PSN-exclusive, bringing a frown to many a face. Surprise, surprise -- developer Curve Studios popped into PAX a few s...

In addition to bits about Mario's latest adventure, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has also shared with French journalists plans to bring Flipnote Studio to the 3DS eShop. For those of you unaware, Flipnote Studio is a free prog...

Fate of the World is simultaneously one of the more interesting and inaccessible games of recent times. One might say it's not even much of a game at all. What it most definitely is, however, is a very complex global policy s...

Fruit Ninja's a great game, for sure. But it's always felt a bit empty to me. Mostly because it was missing a key fruit, the pomegranate. No more -- developer Halbrick has updated the iOS versions of Fruit Ninja (including Fr...

We have an official F.E.A.R 3 review coming soon (I had to buy it at launch because reviewers don't get all their games for free, folks!) but before that gets finished, I just had to share with you the dazzling beauty that i...

The "online pass" system was designed to combat used sales and make money from those who buy secondhand games. Except in the case of F.E.A.R 3, in which Warner Bros. apparently got so excited and giddy over the idea of the sy...

If we're being preposterously basic, videogames are about universes. An unmatchable chance to step into another world and be someone else for a while. It might be fighting against the evil empire or not letting the terrorists...

Finally, after a few delays and some controversy, Subatomic's Fieldrunners HD for the Android OS is now available. There's two ways to get it, depending on where you call home. if you're in the United States, it's the free a...

We previously told you about a stylish first-person platformer by the name of Fotonica. Back then, it was available for free as a browser-based game. In its new, expanded form, Santa Ragione is offering the game at the famous...

Do you know of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone’s Fighting Fantasy series of interactive Gamebooks? Talisman of Death is one of the best-known (and controversial) Fighting Fantasy adventures, and it's now a PlayStat...

Final Fantasy Tactics has lived on as one of my favorite games for a very long time. It has sit up at the top of the ranks since that first PSOne release while others have come and gone. I'm so glad that this game is now in i...

We’ve all died at some point. Hit by a brown sedan while crossing the street, shot in the face by a drug dealer with bad skin, fell into a lava pit, crushed by a rampaging wild horse, vital organs consumed by a skinless...

FortressCraft is the first Xbox Live Indie Game to break $1 million in sales, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the last. Unless, of course, FortressCraft Chapter 2 ever comes out. ProjectorGames was able to recognize a nee...

Codemasters announces that F1 Online: The Game is a thing. It's coming to a browser near you, and it's a free-to-play affair, set to launch in the first quarter of 2012. This game will let you be both the driver and the race ...

The next time someone tries telling you that videogames are a waste of time be sure to bring up Foldit, a game that gives players the chance to play with proteins by trying to fold them, and how it was used to ...

Gaming's greats all wind up in a pinball table eventually; Samus, Kirby, Mario, Sonic, and all those Pokémon have all wound up in balls, ripe for the flipping. The amphibious adventurer is once again out to defeat Robo...

Frogger is one of the most recognizable games on the planet. While not quite as famous as Pac-Man or Donkey Kong, it nevertheless has made a lasting enough impression in its arcade heyday to be "up there" with the VIPs of the...

If you've just been itching for a new way to simulate the fishing experience on your Wii, XSEED Games has announced that they'll be bringing PROPE's Fishing Resort to the Wii this holiday season.  For those of you w...

Another year of Austin's annual videogame festival Fantastic Arcade has come to an end, but not without a couple winners, losers (haha!), and pissed-off Norwegians. Seriously, don't make eye-contact with them. They will mess ...

Halfbrick, the developer of Raskulls, Jetpack Joyride, and the hugely popular Fruit Ninja series has just announced a new title in the portable slicing genre. Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots will be releasing on October 20 a...

All of you Frogger fans out there know by now that the iconic franchise is in the middle of celebrating its 30th birthday with several Frogger-based games like Frogger Decades in the App Store from Konami. The game just ...

The first of Nintendo's original portable download efforts will be coming to the 3DS eShop next week. Freakyforms is a game in which you slap random pieces together to create a misshapen mistake of God, then use the twisted c...

Housemarque has been in the business for over sixteen years, but it wasn't until Super Stardust HD (back in 2007) that the Finnish developers went on to make a name for themselves. Since then they've racked up quite an impres...

Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase has admitted that his game had a number of flaws, addressing criticism that the game was too restricted and lacked the sense of exploration felt in other Final Fantasy games.&...

The Nintendo 3DS is a system built around two simple concepts: portable 3D and dual-screen gaming. Unfortunately, the latter usually finds itself lent to making our experiences less intrusive by acting as a placeholder for ma...

From the same hard working folks that brought you the fine titles of Auditorium and Pulse comes their Steam-updated title Fractal: Make Blooms Not War. Fractal meshes hexagonal puzzle solving with a unique ...

After recently wrapping up his work murdering chocobos in Final Fantasy Type-0, Square Enix man Hajime Tabata has begun to discuss what his next project might be. In an interview in this week's Famitsu, the Cri...

With a release date smack in the middle of the biggest gaming season of the year and a name like Fusion: Genesis, there's a slight chance you may have overlooked this Xbox Live Arcade title. Which is a shame, since the projec...

I wonder how long it will be until people look at me with wide eyed amazement when I regale them with tales of leaving my home, jumping on a bus, going into town, walking into an actual building and handing over physical mone...

C'mon! Do the Final Fantasy Victory Dance, complete with fist pumps, as role-playing classic Final Fantasy VI is available on the PlayStation Network today. One of the finest videogames ever made is now ready for play on your...

What's Yuji Naka up to these days? After leaving Sega and Sonic Team as Sonic's daddy, he started a studio named Prope. Ivy The Kiwi? is their top title so far. It seems like they're filling in the holes with stupidly cute iO...

EA Sports is bringing just one game to the PlayStation Vita launch party, but it looks as if that title will be one of the stars of the show. I played FIFA Soccer back in mid-October, and came away feeling like EA Canada has...

The PSP, along with the DS, has sort of been a last haven for Japanese RPGs. Companies like Atlus, XSEED, and Aksys Games have kept these handhelds, as well as the abovementioned genre, alive by continuing to feed Ameri...

Has anyone ever played Flipper on DSiWare? It passed me by, but I should give it a look. It's a puzzler about a boy and his goldfish. So very touching. Flipper 2: Flush the Goldfish is pretty much a sequel in name only. This...

For all you Forza 4 fans that have been waiting for some more sweet rides to add to your collection, Hyundai has got your fix. The Hyundai Velostar Booster Pack has just dropped on Xbox Live and brings players two new cars fo...

At first glance, Fortune Street may look like another Mario-themed, board game-structured mini-game collection. It's not. Anyone who picks this game up expecting another light, mindless, motion-controlled mini-game romp like ...

If you managed to intentionally hold off on getting Fallout: New Vegas this long, you ought to be congratulated on your restraint. As announced previously, the game's Ultimate Edition will be making the rounds in North Ameri...

EA Sports' FIFA Street reboot is almost upon us and so the studio has decided to today announce an interesting new feature; the "Street Network." The Street Network will serve as an in-game social network for FIFA Street...

I hope you weren't expecting anything extra with the return of Final Fantasy X, announced at last year's Sony press conference at TGS. Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto answered some fan questions at the Taipei Game Show and mad...

We already know that Fire Emblem 3DS will be ushering Nintendo into the paid DLC world, but it looks like we're about to get a bit more information on the latest series entry. It seems as if the upcoming 3DS iteration of Fire...

Back on the iTunes store today is Fractal, an interesting music puzzle game for the iPad. Even better for us, it's back at a reduced cost. How reduced, you ask? Well, it's free! But only until this Friday. After that, the pri...

Final Fantasy Tactics has been getting smaller and smaller lately with all the portable versions. I suppose this new iPad version is also small, but that big ol' tablet screen will let you have a better look at the action. An...

Perhaps the biggest surprise at Microsoft’s recent Xbox 360 spring showcase was the announcement of Fable: Heroes for Xbox Live Arcade. Built by some of Lionhead’s biggest Fable fans, Heroes pays homage to many o...

One of the staple "go-to" games in the Carter household is Fruit Ninja Kinect -- it seems as if I'm not alone, as Halfbrick's Phil Larsen has just announced that the game has topped one million downloads (that's not even incl...

Hit Firemint iPhone game Flight Control blasts off into space with a new sequel called Flight Control Rocket. You're still tracing a line with your fingertip to guide craft to runways while working to avoid collisions, but th...

I love arcade racing games. The sense of speed, the excitement of hairpin turns, and the hum of the engine get my blood pumping in a fast and fun way. Racing sims can offer the same enjoyment yet allow for more customization ...

Does Metacritic matter? Ask your average gamer, and they will likely sneer with contempt, blame it for all the ills in the world, and declare that the collector of review scores is useless. Ask a developer like Obsidian, howe...

It's a glorious day, because I get to talk about the Molyneux Cycle once more. It's the method by which Molyneux attempts to make his next game look good by trash talking the last one he made -- the last game being one he hyp...

The somewhat mythologized sub-genre called street soccer -- as presented by FIFA Street -- is hedonistic and excessive, with a strong tilt toward showboating and theatrics. It’s puzzling, then, that EA Sports decided to...

It's been a long time since I last watched Family Guy, and an even longer time since I found it funny, but it must still have a pretty large following. For that reason, Twentieth Century Fox and Roadhouse Interactive is devel...

Final Fantasy XIV, to put it lightly, didn't have the smoothest launch ever. In fact, I was able to play a near finished build a few E3s back, and I was utterly surprised that they were going to push it to market -- it was ba...

One part hack, one part slash, and one part four-player cooperative Fable with puppet heroes. Fable Heroes would be the last thing you would expect Lionhead Studios to come up with if Fable: The Journey hadn't been announced already. In true Lionhead fashion, Fable Heroes is a game that made me feel emotions I hadn't felt in more than a year, but perhaps not the kind that it intended to elicit.

If financial domination was EA's goal then FIFA just scored big time. EA has released financial figures for fiscal 2012 that indicate it was a banner year for FIFA, pulling a record $108 million between microtransactions and ...

Fractured Soul has had a challenging road towards publication. First designed for the original Nintendo DS, publisher NV3 Games never brought the game to market but continues to own the rights to it. Next, developer Endgame S...

Remember that feeling you had when you found Umaro and Gogo in Final Fantasy VI, or Vincent in Final Fantasy VII? That rush of discovery when you found secret optional characters in an RPG, possibly on your second or third pl...
