Hey everybody! Fighting games are back! And you know what that means, right? Semi-sequel "updates" to fighting games are also back! BlazBlue, King of Fighters, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, and of course Street Fighter have all seen a...

Nostalgia is a funny thing. Games we remember as being ground-breaking and awesome in our youth sometimes don't hold up as well when we're older. This also makes the generations who missed the games the first time they were r...

Last month, some evidence was uncovered that NetherRealm's 2011 Mortal Kombat game might be coming to the PC, but as always, grains of salt were passed around. Now there is some strong evidence that the game will be comi...

What is it about 2013, that all these indie games with nebulous half a decade long development cycles are finally coming out in the Spring? First we had BattleBlock Theater, and now, Monaco is joining the fun on April 24th, o...

After the days of the Super Nintendo, I stopped playing any and all sports games that did not feature Princess Peach in a tennis skirt. Not that I don't think sports games are good -- I just think they got too realistic and c...

Clayton Kershaw is just the best. And as a lifelong Dodger fan, I'm thoroughly looking forward to Kid K and Zack Greinke dominating atop Los Angeles' rotation this season. But as much as I would love to ramble on about the D...

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?

The Mistborn trilogy of high fantasy novels will leave its mark on this medium with a prequel game in development for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Mac. Mistborn: Birthright will feature an original story written by Brando...

Everyone was totally diggin' Korean pop sensation PSY when his "Gangnam Style" music video became an international hit. Then he just kept riding it... and riding it... and riding it. Then he starred in a pistachio commercial...

History is full of games that boasted fantastic concepts, but failed to deliver when all of its brilliant ideas were put into practice. Some of the most creative games are also some of the absolute worst, as whoever came up with it simply lacked the funds, time or talent to see it through.  You'll be thrilled to know that MindJack does nothing to buck the trend.

If you didn't play Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes either when it released for Nintendo DS or later in its fancy, shiny high-definition version, you're missing one of the most strategic and clever puzzle games in rec...

Oh hell yes! Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes is making its way to iPhones and iPads on January 24, with an Android version to follow sometime later. The mobile version will be based on the HD version that was released on Xb...

The lack of a customizable field-of-view is understandably a sticking point for certain PC gamers. It was no surprise, then, to see a big release like Metro: Last Light take some heat for not having a FOV slider. Today, an up...

First off, I love Hideo Kojima's Twitter feed. We're a lot a like in that we post sh*t that no one should care about. It's half food pictures and travel brags, just like me. But in the space where I would tweet about corgis, ...

I really loved Peace Walker on the PSP. It was such a good game and its only problem was that it was on the PSP. The funny thing is I'm not bitching about the PSP version for the lack of a second analog stick. No, I was more ...

Speaking to several members of the press at an event in London organized by Konami, designer Hideo Kojima revealed that his upcoming entry into the Metal Gear Solid franchise, Ground Zeroes, is going to be taking a lot of ris...

During the yesterday’s Metal Gear Solid V reveal (find the fabulous gameplay demo and trailer here) I was sort of sure I knew what was going on. To my understanding, Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid:...

If you can live without the inclusion of Peace Walker in the PlayStation Vita version of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, you'll be pleased to know that Konami has set the game's launch for Tuesday, June 12. While I'm not a Vi...

Although a rather short game on the surface, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was the gift that kept on giving. New costumes, very challenging VR Missions, truckloads of collectibles, and extreme difficulties with arranged...

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's Jetstream DLC was a bit of a disappointment. It consisted of mostly re-used environments, similar play mechanics, and didn't really have any bearing on the core plot nor did it enhan...

Capcom has just announced a mini-sale for Street Fighter X Tekken content and Mega Man 9 and 10, as well as the release of those DmC costumes I mentioned a while back. The SFxT costumes have a full range in terms of pricing, ...

The Mega Man Network has shared some Mega Man 10 robot master concept art from the R20+5 blowout book, and man is it interesting. Most of these, I think, look better than the final designs. Some of them in particular are much...

In the glorious pantheon of vaporware, Sadness stands at the tippy top. The hype behind the game -- if it ever truly existed in some playable capacity at any point in time -- was only matched by the curious insistence of its ...

While it was already announced that Mass Effect Trilogy would hit PC and Xbox 360 on November 6 in North America, the last PlayStation 3 owners heard was an ominous "later date" for their version of the compilation. BioWare h...

Omega is the second of the “post-Extended Cut” bits of single-player DLC for Mass Effect 3. The series and the community that has been built up around it have been taken on a wild ride over the past several months. There’s been a lot of exciting bits and a few disappointments. Unfortunately, Omega can take its place among the latter.

A new DLC has just been announced for Mass Effect 3. Entitled "Leviathan," it'll be released later this summer for PC, PS3, and 360. It is single-player focused and will explorer the origins of the Reapers. Sadly, nothing was said about "Leviathan" coming to Wii U.

It would seem that enough people bought Capcom's digital re-release of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, since there's plenty more where that came from. Headed to PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade this September, Marvel vs. Capcom...

He might not have invented the voice, but D.C. Douglas's Albert Wesker was likely the most memorable part of Resident Evil 5. He has provided the David Bowie-esque voice of the recurring antagonist since Resident Evil: The U...
