During Gas Powered Games' Kickstarter campaign for action-RTS/RPG game Wildman, "a substantial number of the team" was laid off to avoid a situation where employees wouldn't receive severance pay if things didn't work out. Ul...

Wait! Don't immediately dismiss a video about movement in an MMO -- this one is actually enjoyable. Not because the movement in WildStar is anything groundbreaking, but because the developers have injected a healthy dos...

This weekend at PAX, I came across a booth with just a laptop sitting on a table, and this laptop was running an early build of Snowed In Studios' Windforge. It's an open-world role-playing game with an emphasis on ...

Were your aspirations towards professional athletics deftly crushed due to injury or ineptitude? Have you ever wanted to partake in the fanciful, snowy events that are popularized when the Winter Olympics roll around ever fou...

To be clear, the Wipeout I am referring to is the one based on the ABC tv show, not the totally awesome racing game. So if you like the show, or you enjoyed the first installment of the game, you can check this one out o...

The Wipeout games have always served as a solid system showcase with their flashy graphics and impressive sense of speed, so Studio Liverpool's latest, Wipeout 2048, makes for a nice launch title for the PlayStation Vita...

Retro games have their place in gaming just as much as contemporary titles. A game's visual style has nothing to do with quality, on both sides of the spectrum -- anything has the potential to be a great experience. Of course...

If I could be said to be anything, I am a man obsessed with sound (listening, not production; I'm not cool enough to be Dale North). So when the opportunity to talk to Michael Winslow (aka that badass from Police Academy and ...

I had a chance to check out Square Enix's casual iOS (and soon Android) RPG Wizardlings at New York Comic-Con a week or so back. It's a cute little title that has your hero or heroine moving to lift the darkness and push back...

Sony Online Entertainment's latest massively multiplayer online title Wizardry Online, a rebirth of the classic fantasy franchise, is now available on PC in North America and Europe. Developed by Gamepot, this free-to-play, p...

We knew that Wizorb was headed to the PlayStation Store as a minis title, but now we have a firm date for North America: Tuesday, July 24. It'll be playable on PS3, PSP, and "eventually" on Vita. Wizorb is in the same vein a...

As much as I don't like assuming the worst, the continued inclusion of multiplayer components in games that truly don't need them and would be better off concentrating on single-player has given me no alternative. Which is wh...

Wonderbook: Book of Spells will be out on November 13 for $39.99, just in time for Black Friday shopping madness. There will also be a bundle version available for $79.99 that will come with the game, Wonderbook peripheral, ...

Ever felt crappy when you talked the talk, but couldn't walk the walk, getting beat down by some punk ass and exposing your meek nature? Well fear no more, as the guys at Feel Every Yummy have got your back with their new ga...

WordTrap Dungeon, a new typing/puzzle game on PC is in pre-alpha, and it looks pretty darn good so far. The developer states that both Bookworm Adventures and Typing of the Dead were inspirations. Works for me! Basically, yo...

The idea of buying an interactive commercial is like battery acid in the minds of most adult gamers, but we blissfully forget that we once paid full price for entire videogames that existed purely to push another product.&nbs...

Wargaming -- the folks behind World of Tanks, the upcoming World of Warplanes, and the even more upcoming World of Battleships -- is growing at an insane rate. They've been a big company over in Eurasia for a while, but now ...

EVE Online's developer CCP are still working on World of Darkness, the upcoming MMO set in the same universe as Vampire the Masquerade. It's nice to hear them say it's still under development, but it's better to see som...

Today marks the release of World of Goo on PC, a game that WiiWare owners have been playing since Monday. WiiWare/PC releases are becoming more and more the norm these days, ranging in quality from Eternity's Child to Strong ...

Wargaming's first mobile title is called World of Tanks: Blitz. We played it not too long ago, and this new video from the studio shows off some of the gameplay. Not much is shown off, but from we do get to see it doesn't lo...

Offering a status update on World of Warcraft during an earnings report, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick revealed that the popular MMORPG lost 1.3 million subscribers during the quarter -- "mainly from the East, but in t...

World of Warcraft's newest expansion, Mists of Pandaria, is getting a new content patch soon. Although the patch has been delayed a few times, the expectation was that it would launch this week -- specifically, tomorrow -- w...

Wargaming.net's World of Warplanes is currently in closed beta at the moment, with around 700,000 registered users shredding it up in the air combat game. Like World of Tanks, the developers are focusing on keeping the same ...

Psst. Do you want an early look at upcoming naval MMO World of Warships? Wargaming was nice enough to share some early screens and renders with us, so be sure to check them out in our gallery below. These massive floating armies make tanks seem a bit dinky, don't they?

I've already made a couple of posts about Worlds of Magic, described as a spiritual successor to Master of Magic by the developer, because I can never quite have my fill of magical 4X games. So, I'm pretty happ...

What could be better than worms and ice cream? How about worms, ice cream and a arsenal of crazy weapons that you can blow up your friends with. Team17 has released the first piece of DLC for Worms Revolution, the Funfai...

The Worms series has worked well as a downloadable franchise, finding a good home on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. Fans of turn-based strategic combat have enjoyed the simplicity and fun of the series, and as such, the titles have sold well. For its newest iteration, Team17 has taken a step forward by adding a slew of new options, while simultaneously taking a step back.

Milking a franchise is one thing, but if you hook a milk machine up to a cow for long enough eventually nothing's going to be left. The cow's going to fall over, die, and the only thing you'll be sucking out are the innards o...

Team 17's classic series of turn-based games featuring heavily armed annelids, Worms, is taking a sharp slice into new territory with the announcement of Worms Crazy Golf. Coming later this year to PlayStation 3, PC (via...

Why the hell is this the first time I've mentioned Wrack? I really want to bring it up a lot, but obviously I'm a bit rubbish. Remember when shooters were all about lubing up, slipping and sliding through intricate corridor ...

I've been playing a fair bit of Wreckateer, finding it to be one of those rare Kinect games which manages to contain both casual appeal and strategic depth. Think it's simple? Watch this video of the lead designer playing on...

WWE '12 is still not on store shelves, but that hasn't stopped THQ from prepping for a future DLC release. The Diva pack will be the first DLC to hit, which is planned to be released in December. Here's all the Diva's include...

Ah, annual sports iterations. Many of us await them with open arms year after year, and the rest yawn in disapproval. After the massive overhaul with the Predator Technology engine in WWE '12, fans were asking, "What's next?"...

Check it out. The latest video for THQ's upcoming wrestling title showcases an amazing amount of customization. It looks like you'll be able to tweak just about everything to your liking in WWE'12. And I mean everything. Fro...

Last we heard, Take-Two Interactive had signed an exclusive multi-year agreement to publish games based on the license in the wake of THQ, starting with WWE 2K14. This PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title was given a release date...

As someone who grew up in the ’80s, I have fond memories of these rubber WWF toys that I’d ricochet all over my house. Drop Hulk Hogan on his rubbery toes in just the right place and he’d spring forward, sma...

I really dig WWE All-Stars, but haven't been giving it much love lately. Maybe that'll change soon, as THQ has announced a slew of upcoming downloadable wrestlers for the title. Available right now is "The Million Dollar Man"...

WWE games, such as their most recent WWE All-Stars, are the type of game that probably come to mind when you think of the wrestling franchise. The corporate brain behind this old entertainment past-time is trying something n...
