When I said a ton, I wasn't kidding. NIS America sent over 80 screenshots of Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 for you to gawk at and get all giddy or whatever it is you do when you check out screenshots. By the time you get done l...

I literally fell asleep playing Hyperdimension Neptunia. Full on, snoring for thirty minutes while my characters bobbed up and down in battle stances waiting for me to input their next attack. Now I will admit it was late, bu...

Third-person shooters are a dime a dozen. From games like Gears of War to the recent Spec Ops: The Line, cover tends to play heavily into the combat, but you'd be hard pressed to find one that fully revolves around cover as n...

"I'm a hustler, baby. I just want you to know." Well, those would be the lyrics I would sing as I entered my local pool hall, hoping to scam friend and stranger alike in a friendly game of billiards. Of course, I was no hustl...

Yes. A crossbow emporium. A store -- presumably a large one -- which caters solely to the crossbow enthusiast who has a lot of zombies to kill. What a wonderful world that must be. God, how I love the marketing for House of ...

If you're anything like me you don't have any plans for Valentine's Day this year and you also like killing waves of zombies. Those two things aren't normally related whatsoever, but this year Sega is changing that. On Valent...

One of my most played games ever is the PS3 title Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds. It's my go-to game when I'm not really gaming. It's my crack. And now it's getting Move support? Great! Oh, and 3D.  Famitsu says that HSG ...

The PlayStation Vita title Hot Shots Golf 6 (or, for us, Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational) has been announced as a PS3 title in Japan. This week's Famitsu says that the game will support Move controls, as any good PS3 golf ...

After seeing generally positive reactions to Big Sandwich Games' Hoard for PlayStation Network, I was eager to try out the just-released Steam version, which offers the action/strategy title for PC and Mac in one relatively affordable little package. Honestly, they had my undivided attention at "you control a dragon."
