BUY THIS GAME. Or rather, buy the whole season. I've previously reviewed more Sam and Max episodes than I care to count, but this most recent one is by far the best, and the most undeniable proof that Telltale's Sam and Max ...

Let’s rewind to E3 2009. I’m inside LucasArts’ conference room. I’m a few minutes early for the Star Wars: The Old Republic presentation. They have food and drink in both corners of the entrance. I&rsq...

Second Sight is a game remembered more for its bad timing than for what it did as a piece of interactive entertainment. Before Free Radical released this game, our opportunity to play with psychic powers in videogames was par...

This first trailer for indie game Storm shows off the Spring season, in what looks to be a very calming puzzle game. Using three main elements -- rain, wind, and lightning -- and four 'secondary' elements, you have to guide u...

The disturbingly cute Marvel MMO -- Super Hero Squad Online, which came out in May, is fooling around with the dark side in its new expansion. Villainville gives players the opportunity to take on the role of some of the nau...

Despite only costing $7.99 and being worth the money, Serious Sam: Double D has been cracked and distributed among pirates to a considerable enough degree that developer Nathan Fouts isn't too thrilled. Rather than go on the ...

Do you love the Super Smash Bros. series but don't actually own a Nintendo console? (Actually, that sounds really unlikely, kinda like saying "D'you like Blizzard games but have never owned a PC?") In the event you haven't p...

Let's face it, Star Trek games have been a challenge for most developers. With many titles in the past that have tried endlessly to capture the universe in a way that can please the fans of the series, the team at K...

It doesn't take a games industry analyst -- or even a marginally gifted psychic, for that matter --- to see this one coming. 2K Games has finally released Sid Meier's Civilization V Game of the Year Edition to the waiting mas...

EA is gearing up for the Sims 3 Pets release later this month and they've sent us a few screens to showcase the deep relationships that can exist between man and beast. No, don't get too excited now. I'm not ta...

SimCity is a series that has an amazing legacy, but with no new installments for a while, it's a good thing that Good Old Games is releasing a special edition of SimCity 2000 to remind us about the simple joys of urban planni...

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?  Well, it seems Sword Girls is the newest online anime-styled card battle game from Zeonix. Based in a fictional world not unlike our own, the game features four warring factions - the first...

First, an announcement. Dark Horse announced several new Star Wars titles here at New York Comic-Con, and there's the next addition to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic among them -- War! They say tha...

Unique and vastly underrated indie XBLIG game, Sequence, has hit the e-shelves on Steam. You can pick up this Iridium Studios gem for 10% off at $4.49, or $4.99 normally which is a total steal. Sequence is by far my favorite ...

If you haven't heard, the United States began the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq in March, 2003. In late 2004 there was a joint offensive in the city of Fallujah, an insurgent stronghold. What followed was some of...

The value we see in things is based on what we get out of it, rather than what we put into it. This is true in all aspects of life. This is also why I don’t factor cost into my reviews, because a 99-cent game is too mu...

They had me at "Capybara Games." Which is good, because I didn't find this trailer for Super T.I.M.E. Force to be particularly informative outside of teasing the visual and sound design. Given the chaotic nature of the actio...

2001's Stronghold was a very good, and very European game. Finally you could build up an entire castle from the ground up, man the walls with your units, and manage the feudal economy to support all of it. It was the kind of ...

We have a full list of the stations and tracks you'll find in Saints Row: The Third. In the game you'll be able to pick your favorites to make your own mix tape. If you count your mix tape, that makes 7 stations and an asston of songs, from Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" to "State of Ghetto Jackin" by Baobinga featuring DJ Nasty. Hit the jump for the full list.

There is only one week until gamers make a return trip to the mean streets of Stilwater in Saint's Row: The Third, but another milestone has just been met. The Initiation Station demo, that was released about a week ago,...

Fuel Entertainment and Playbrains' previously PlayStation Network-only urban platformer Sideway New York has come to Steam. The game will regularly go for $9.99, but currently, a 15% price reduction for early buyers has been ...

The Gundam series is unarguably one of the most influential anime series to have ever left the shores of Japan. I mean, what's not to like about it? It has giant robots, crazy space battles, and enough compelling content ...

Guess what, Steam gamers? (I think that's just about everyone on PC these days.) Stardock is now offering its games on the popular digital distribution service. The first title, Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity, is a...

I still remember the craze that surrounded the Furbie, the Beanie Baby, and the Teletubby doll. Marketing overlords have a terrifying sorcery in their employ that allows them to turn ordinary humans into ravening beasts, lust...

I don't know about you folks, but Christmas music tends to send me to sleep, well that and the copious amount of festive liquor I imbibe at this time of year. Old St. Nick seems to share my lack of enthusiasm for it and he's...

This latest trailer for Syndicate is pretty damn exciting. It's a sparse overview of the title's cooperative mode which lets you team up with three other operatives on assignments deemed to difficult for a lone agent to...

Last year, it was announced that Ukranian studio GSC was closing and that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 had been canceled. This week, it turns out that the long-awaited radioactive survival FPS is back on the menu! "The Stalker team ...

The cold, bleak month of February has never struck me as particularly romantic. But my frosty heart is often melted by trinkets, so I'll take what I can get. With Valentine's Day drawing near SOE has decided to court the play...

Super Mario Bros Crossover, a flash game which takes characters from classic videogames and puts them into a recreation of Super Mario Bros., has had an update in the works for over a year now. Version 2.0, which we first tol...

Shank 2 continues the tale of a man named Shank by providing more killing, more death, and more over-the-top gore that was a staple of the original title. At its core, however, is a side-scrolling brawler reminiscent of old...

Space sims aren't where they used to be. Once the peak of triple-A development, today the genre's torch is carried mostly by outfits catering to hardcore, nostalgia-seeped joystick-grippers. And while that approach has proved...

Starbreeze Studios certainly turned heads when it unveiled its progress on a brand-new Syndicate game, although attached to many of those heads were scowling faces sporting sneers of disgust. Syndicate is yet another classic ...

Word of SimCity 5 is spreading around the Internet right now, which can only mean one thing: "Sim Broadway" is going to remain stuck in my head for the rest of the day. A thread on NeoGAF has compiled translated information o...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a shooter, an RPG, a trading simulator, and a survival horror game all wrapped up in one. It has a rich and deep game world, but its depth has probably scared away most people from trying to tackle this ambi...

Free-to-play MMOs are a dime a dozen these days, so I wouldn't blame you if Salem had escaped your notice. It's a shame if it has, though. Set in a bizarre version of pilgrim-infested New England, this cute, gothic MMO gives...

Yes, bacon bracelets. It's not real bacon, but it will make you 100% cooler than everyone else. And constantly hungry. Probably. Other than the coolest piece of swag, Uber Entertainment will be showcasing Super MNC at their P...

Way back at the start of 2011, we told you about a Sonic the Hedgehog 2 fan remake that was in the works. The appropriately named Sonic 2 HD is exactly what it sounds like: the classic Genesis game we all remember, updated w...

A counter-attack is coming to Sniper Elite V2 in the form of the St. Pierre downloadable content, publisher Bastion today announced. The add-on sees you thwarting an attack on the western front led by General Rodebrecht, a ri...

Launching just seven months ago on consoles, it seems that Street Fighter X Tekken never really caught on in the fighting game community. Some would argue this was a result of the quality of the game itself, but a bit of cont...

Rebellion is a standalone expansion to the 2008 strategy game of the year, Sins of a Solar Empire. Elaborating upon the bare-bones story from the first title and subsequent DLC, adding two new classes of ships, thre...

You know that when the main characters of the game you're about to play are adorable animals like cats and penguins, you're possibly playing a game aimed at children. A few months ago, I played Shaun The Sheep: Home Sheep Hom...

It looks like a large portion of the player base in The Old Republic isn't just hiding -- they're full on missing. Rock, Paper Shotgun did some digging through EA's recent financial report and found that 400,000 subscribers h...

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 was considered a letdown by many longtime fans of the series, mostly due to the fact that its physics were not similar enough to the original Genesis titles. Part of the benefit of an episodic ...

Ronimo Games has been working on a new single-player story campaign for Swords & Soldiers that's due out next week on Steam. They had my attention with the expansion's name, "Super Saucy Sausage Fest." Then I saw the bada...

Just as the solar eclipse is peaking in Japan comes news that Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is set to be released in Japan! Superbrothers and Capybara Games will be releasing one my favorite iOS games of all time in...

Not everyone who got fairly into Uber Entertainment's Monday Night Combat should go in expecting to immediately fall in love with Super Monday Night Combat due to its increased focus on strategic play. That said, if multipla...

Stop. Stop what you're doing right now and watch this trailer for StarForge. Watch it without sound if you have to, just watch it! There's a lot to take in during those six and a half minutes, but the bottom line is that Sta...

Because it's 2012, and every action game ever needs co-op, Spec-Ops: The Line will receive downloadable cooperative missions. No word if the entire campaign will be co-opified (a word that is totally not made u...
