Metro 2033 was released on March 16, 2010. As I write this, it is May 30, 2011. You might be asking yourself why there's a review for Metro 2033 over a year after its launch.  Well, Destructoid never officially revi...

There isn't much I can say about this trailer except that it reminds me of how badly I want to be playing Might and Magic Heroes VI. Too bad it was pushed back from September to October. There is a silver lining though. Game...

George Carlin said baseball was known as America's national pastime because "it takes so damn long to play a game." He was right. Never is this more clear than in playing simulated baseball in a videogame. While it does often retain the fun and excitement of being at the ballpark, it can also unintentionally include the tedium as well. Guess what MLB 2K12 includes?

ATVs are the perfect meeting point between motorcycles and cars, making for a fast but light vehicle that should be fun to control in a videogame. Yet, I can’t think of any game that captured the appeal of ATVs witho...

Omega is the second of the “post-Extended Cut” bits of single-player DLC for Mass Effect 3.
