I’m not sure what Dark Sector’s lead Hayden Tenno thought he was getting into when he signed up for the “elite black-ops agent” program, but it’s hard to feel bad for this guy. Sent by his agency...

The Dragon Quest series is gaming's greatest immovable object. While many franchises can be accused of repetition, no series has ever remained so close to the tree it fell from as this legendary collection of role-playing gam...

In 1994, the original Donkey Kong Country single-handedly saved the Super Nintendo from losing to the Genesis. The gorgeous platformer had everyone talking, with its solid gameplay, classic characters, and, most importantly, ...

Every year, there are one or two high profile 3rd party Wii games that aspire to actually shoot for mainstream acceptance. There are a lot of reasons why these games are so few and far between, not the least of which being ...

Having spent an unreasonable amount of time with Dawn of War II and its follow-up expansion, Chaos Rising, there were few games this year I wanted on my hard drive more than Retribution. The series' particular brand of combat...

Despite being released in late January, Dead Space 2 has effortlessly become one of my most played games of all time. I'm currently on my fourth play, and I still find the game utterly engaging, helped in no small part by the...

Due to the simplistic and, let's be honest, archaic nature of the gameplay, the humble brawler is a rarity these days. Once they were the overlords of the arcade scene, their button-mashing controls and quarter-gobbling diffi...

Ahhh Death Rally, what memories you have given me back in the day. The old Remedy logo, the Apogee splash screen, the fact that it was basically Micro Machines with guns; what wasn't there to like? Now, almost 15 years after ...

Dungeons and Dragons: Daggerdale is an action-RPG developed by Bedlam Games, the new dudes behind the troubled Scratch: The Ultimate DJ project. This isn’t the kind of pedigree you want from a studio handling a new Dung...

As I played through Darkspore, my opinion of the game kept changing. It's a dungeon crawler in the vein of Diablo or Torchlight, but in a futuristic setting. While many games in this genre essentially end up be...

I love racing games, but my favorite kind are the ones that take you off the road and into the elements. Rally racing has always been my preference. Actually (cue harps and clouds), my money-no-object dream is to actually ral...

The rumored Devil May Cry HD collection didn't pan out at E3 as many had expected. But that's not stopping Spanish retailer XtraLife from listing it in its online shop.  The game, Devil May Cry 10th Anniversary Collectio...

I now fully understand what John Hammond went through in Jurassic Park. That poor man. Adult Swim's new web game, Dinosaur Zookeeper, enlightened me. You see, dinosaurs aren't meant to be caged. They'd sooner electrocute them...

I get a bit of a 'too soon' vibe when watching the above newly released trailer for upcoming Atlus RPG Devil Survivor 2. It shows Japan ripped apart and looks like...well, a natural disaster. I'll let it slide this time be...

While certain people in the games industry make me jump up and down with excitement, there are others who make my personality do a complete U-turn and Tomonobu Itagaki is one of them. Instead of swearing and squealing&n...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is set in an alternate future where the debate over human augmentation has escalated into rioting and violence as those against tampering with humanity fight proponents of progressive science. ...

When I first started playing Dream Trigger 3D, I despised it with every fiber of my being. It was chaotic and confusing, with controls that didn't make sense and a tutorial that does nothing to explain how one is supposed to play.  After spending a fair few hours with the game, all of the above is still true, but now I like the game. It's always weird when that happens.

When pressed for news on Dawn of War III, Relic marketing manager James McDermott was surprisingly up front about the direction of the new Warhammer 40,000 strategy title. Some of it's been said before by THQ's Danny Bilson, ...

Desert Zombie: Last Stand is a third-person shooter powered by Epic's Unreal Development Kit. As you can tell from the footage above, it features lots of undead bastards and plenty of guns to kill them with. Looks like a laugh, provided they make the controls decent.  The game's in it's alpha stage, and it looks pretty good so far. Knock it out at the right price, and I'm all about it.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 (DQMJ2) is the upcoming monster hunting role-playing game for the DS. The player assumes the role of a child who quite possibly aspires to follow in the footsteps of Michael Vick as he captures...

Nippon Ichi has confirmed that Disgaea 3 is coming to the PlayStation Vita. We had a hunch it was coming. Here's hoping this next bout of SRPGing will use the Vita's touchscreen and rear touch pads in a cool way. I could see ...

A new trailer for Ninja Theory's controversial DmC has been released, and it gives Dante white hair ... sort of. It seems that our gunslinging hero gets a snowy dome when he enters a particular gameplay mode, as evidenced by...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution has been the only game that I can remember dislodging Team Fortress 2 from the top of my "Friends' Gameplay Stats" list on Steam. Team Fortress 2 has been resting there at the top for as long as I ca...

Dance: It's Your Stage is to make its début on September 30 for PlayStation 3, Wii and PC. Now, I would talk about how anyone buying this game is probably just doing it to trim some fat, but that card has al...

Despite my lovely knack for sinking my teeth into 100-hour-long JRPGs when I find myself wanting some time to game, the Disgaea series is one that managed to intimidate me, largely after hearing firsthand accounts from fans w...

Writing that headline made me want to create a game called Beasts and Classes: Beat some Asses!, where you play as a human-type teacher who has to discipline-spank different Pokemon-like students, the ones who didn't do ...

Phosphor Games' Dark Meadow released last night for iOS, and I'd like to remind you all of that. I played it extensively last night and was thoroughly absorbed. It has melee combat similar to Infinity Blade, but spices things...

For all its faults, Dungeon Siege III was something that I immensely enjoyed to button-mash my way through on my own. The camera annoyances found in co-op were not really an issue while playing solo, although the AI's tendenc...

Today is the last day the entire Dance Central DLC song catalogue is on sale so if you completely forgot about it, but still want that sweet DLC, you better get on it fast. The thing with these DLC songs is that even if you l...
