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 ...

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...

The Sacred series is never going to give Diablo a run for its money, but it's always had its own unique charm. It's a fairly standard dungeon crawler with its own element of silly humor, and that's been enough to earn it a pl...

Creepy religious symbolism: cool. Survival horror: awesome. What happens when you put them together? Heck if I know, but TopWare Interactive is uncovering this mystery with its newest title, Sacrilegium. Known best for its po...

Ok Europe. I know sometimes you guys get screwed over on release dates, but how can you complain when you get awesome limited editions like the two for Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Battle? The upcoming musou-sty...

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,...

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.

Miss out on the pre-alpha demonstration of Saints Row IV at PAX East? Me too. We can finally stop crying in the corner together now that Volition has put together a video of exactly that walkthrough. If this is the first you...

Is Saints Row: Money Shot going to ever be released? I can't say for sure. It's a real game, yeah, but man does it look rough. If you weren't impressed by the recent screenshots, you aren't going to dig this video. Originall...

The latest episode of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'? premiered at PAX last week before being uploaded to GameTrailers. I held off posting it until now out of anger and resentment from not being able to attend the show. It definit...

Next week, THQ is set to unleash the "Full Package" edition of Saints Row: The Third. A re-issuing of the 2011 game, it also packs in every bit of additional content released, including missions, vehicles and costumes. You'l...

Saints Row The Third already looks outrageously deranged. From the Professor Genki pre-order bonuses to the ability to adjust your genital area on a whim, developer Volition seem to want to give new meaning to the phrase "no ...

It's always a pleasant surprise to go into a game with little to no expectations beforehand and come out of it with a completely positive opinion. Such was the case with the recent downloadable title Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword. The game wasn't even really on my radar, but after playing it, I realized I should be paying more attention to Nintendo's eShop library.

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...

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 ...

This time Sam and Max star in Night of the Raving Dead and will head to Germany where they will go up against an emo vampire and zombies who like to get their freak on. The third episode in Beyond Time and Space&nbs...

I was already behind Sega's Vita title Samurai & Dragons from the name alone, but as a Sega fan I really like where they're going with upcoming content. This free-to-play Kingdom Conquest follow-up will see two different ...

The App Store has developed quite an audience for tower defense style games as of late. So it’s no surprise to see a variety of games use different gimmicks and twists. However, Sega’s recent take on the gen...

Sega calls Samurai BloodShow a "comically vicious action tower defense game." All of those words speak to me. But they left out the card aspect. This game is not afraid to be nerdy, and I love it for that. Samurai BloodS...

Where there is a new system, there is a new Warriors game waiting in the wings. Tecmo Koei has gotten in early this time, ready for the 3DS' launch with Samurai Warriors Chronicles, yet another button-bashing foray into the world of medieval Japan.  Maybe Tecmo Koei rushed in a little too early this time.

Just when you thought your wallet was safe from Steam sales, something like this bundle drops. In it we see seven games, each using the Unreal engine, for just twenty bucks. These aren't just any Unreal engine games either; t...

When the original Sanctum came out, it took the indie world by storm. As a first person tower defense game in 2011 (that kicked ass by the way), it was pretty unique. Coffee Stain Studios looks to repeat that success wit...

Don't know about you, but I have a real soft spot for supernatural tales set during the frontier times in North America. The mixture of exploring a new world mixed with the superstitions and myths of the time is hea...

[Getting It Right is a monthly series in which I take a look at the elements that make up a classic game. What were the key ingredients that set it apart and make it hold up to this day? Read on to find out.] For a medium ...

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...

As part of SNK's new "Arcade Classics" program, old dog SAR - Search and Rescue is on it's way to the Playstation Network. Evidently, back in the day, SNK wasn't sure that people would know what SAR meant, so they included th...

As remarkable as Immortal Defense is, I suspect most of you are not familiar with the game. Just know that it's truly great, and to this day remains one of my personal favorite tower defense titles due to its interesting sto...

You may remember that back in February Activision took an axe to its stable of rhythm  franchises. Regrettably, they also laid off a good number of the folks who had previously worked on those games. It's never good when...

Sayonara Umihara Kawase, the third game in the Umihara Kawase series, has a new trailer to behold, mostly showing off multiple characters and their grappling hooks. This wacky third iteration includes multiple versions of th...

I don't know who it is that's responsible for pointing me in the direction of this video (it just appeared, totally anonymously), but I'd like to thank them for helping me realize that I hadn't yet seen the absolute worst th...

As the kind of person who seemingly keeps trying to find the pulse of pop culture rectally, I sometimes miss really cool things. Take Nathan Jurevicius' Scarygirl comic, which has built up a huge fan base over the last ten ye...

After four retail entries, the Scene It? series has finally made the jump to the downloadable arena. Scene It? Movie Night is essentially a Scene It? downloadable content platform for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, with Mega Movies as the first pack included in the package. If you've played Scene It? before, you probably know what to expect.

If you have never heard about Silicon Sisters Interactive, or their recently released game School 26: Summer of Secrets, that's alright. Their game, sequel to School 26, is a social sim for the iOS that puts players in the sh...

In a dystopian post-apocalyptic world, a Judeo-Christian fanatic group called The Regime has taken control of the entire world. Meanwhile, a global organization of resistance cells called the GRN (guess what it stands fo...

A lot of classic shmups also happen to work as metaphors for insemination. The last level of R-Type Final immediately comes to mind. Wouldn't you know it, but there is a guy who's taken that theme even further, wit...

It's been an interesting journey for the new downloadable content for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. After resurfacing only to be hit with a last-minute delay, the add-on -- which includes Wallace Wells as a playable...

The Scribblenauts franchise has been fairly successful for Warner Bros. Interactive and developer 5th Cell so it stands to reason that the series would continue. Warner Bros has registered a site domain for something called "...

Scribblenauts Remix, or as my younger cousin calls it, "Scribblesnot" has a lot to be thankful for. As of today, the rooster-headed wordsmith simulator has sold over one million copies on iOS. To celebrate, in true iOS fashio...

The next Scribblenauts, tentatively titled Scribblenauts Unmasked, will take place in the universe of DC Comics, including characters like Batman and locations like the Batcave, IGN reports. The title is for PC, Wii U, and 3D...

Maxwell and Lily's next Scribblenauts adventure sees the pair venturing into the DC Comics universe through the power of their magic notebook. The siblings love comics, and the whole reason they even want to enter DC's unive...

After a long and lengthy legal battle, it seems as if a distributed playable version of Scrolls is finally here. Along with the game's recent trailer, Mojang has just announced that the game has officially gone alpha (you kno...

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 ...

Monster Hunter is getting a 3DS bundle. LovePlus is getting a 3DS bundle. Gosh darnit, Gundam needs a 3DS bundle of its own, too! The upcoming SD Gundam G Generation 3D, to be released on December 22, will drop alongside sexy...

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...

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...

Section 8: Prejudice will be receiving a new DLC expansion on PlayStation Network in a couple of weeks, called the "Frontier Colonies Map Pack." On September 13th, players in the US will be able to pick up a pair of new maps ...

Seduce Me is only on our radar because it was developed by folks who worked on the Triple-A Killzone franchise, and later denied a place on Steam's Greenlight project. We likely wouldn't have noticed it, much l...

In honor of a "mystery" XBLA and PSN release next week, Sega's let loose a new trailer on us. Sega Bass Fishing is being re-released next week, meaning it's no longer exclusive to the Dreamcast Collection. People are probabl...

I love playing Mac games. My favorite one is called, "Trying To Find Games For My Mac". Capitalizing on this unquenched thirst is Sega and Feral Interactive, announcing that Sonic will make his Mac debut soon with not one but...

Sega and Westone's Wonder Boy series was really strange when it came to naming conventions. Wonder Boy started visiting Monster Land and Monster World, and before you know it, Sega put out a Genesis game with the&nb...

Missing out on ToeJam & Earl back in the '90s was, I've now realized, a huge mistake. As previously rumored, both ToeJam & Earl and its follow-up Panic on Funkotron will be coming to PlayStation Network and Xbox Live ...

I've been playing a ton of Kinect games for review lately, and one of these is Ubisoft's Self Defense Training Camp. The game aims to teach you a variety of techniques that you can employ to get yourself out of a dangerous situation. I found the whole experience to be thoroughly enlightening and wanted to put together a video which showcased how there's a way to escape absolutely any problem.

The follow-up to Sengoku Basara 3: Samurai Heroes (Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes to us) is coming to the PlayStation 3 and Wii in Japan. Entitled Sengoku Basara 3: Utage ("Utage" being an archaic term for "Party"), Capcom finally revealed that it's coming November 10, 2011.

Behold the combined might of mammaries and rich, creamy vanilla! Japanese media powerhouse Marvelous AQL was expecting a net loss of 185 million yen (over $2.4 million) for the first six months of its fiscal year. However, it...

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 were salivating at the chance to play more Serious Sam 3, then your wait is over. The Jewel of the Nile DLC is now out for Croteam's old-school FPS, consisting of three new levels as the titular hero travels to the&nbs...
