Burn it All is quite a departure from Pastagames' previous game Pix'n Love Rush. Rather than creating another retro-themed platformer, the developer turned towards a creative take on tackling a puzzle game.And creative is really the key word here, because Burn it All ranks up there with the most creativily designed puzzle games on the App Store.

"Never in the history of gaming has a judge ever asked to review a game before its release -- and that is going to happen here tomorrow." These are words spoken but a few feet from me as Jack Thompson walked away from a satis...

Despite plenty of hype, solid reviews, and a premise that seemed almost cynically geared toward the modern American gamer, Bulletstorm didn't do as well as Electronic Arts hoped. People Can Fly's violent shooter didn't set th...

Knowing nothing about the first-person shooter BulletRun and its lackluster title going in, I was not expecting to come away with a large grin on my face, but that’s exactly what happened. The game is joining the free-t...

I actually played the free-to-play Bullet Run at E3. Oh, how naive I was back then. If you read the article, you'll see that I actually sorta enjoyed playing the game on the show floor.  Silly me. When it was r...

There seemed to be cause for concern over Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 due to trademarks, but that ended up having to do with Ubisoft and Gearbox Software filing jointly, an issue which is now being addressed. There's still th...

I caught wind of Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons by way of a short teaser trailer a while back (you can find it after the jump) and was digging the art style, but put it out of mind. As its spring release approaches, however, ...

IndieGameStand is running a sale on Bridge It, a game that looks exactly what it sounds like. It's a pay-what-you-want deal, with the minimum set at $1. The fascination with simulation games hasn't caught on with me in any m...

Indie developers have it pretty rough sometimes. While Steam Greenlight is a great idea, often times small studios will be forced to scrap for even the smallest release, or exposure. Frustrated that their game Bridge Construc...

As of late, Sega has been taking full advantage of the iOS device to show off their new quirky and interesting titles. So it's no surprise to see that they've taken a chance with bringing over a unique arcade title to U.S. Somewhat a craze in the Japanese arcade scene, Brick People is an action/puzzle game that channels Lemmings in it's strategy, but amps it up with it's hectic gameplay.

Remember I Wanna Be The Guy? Oh God, the memories haunt me to this day! Thankfully, creator Michael O'Reilly's newest game is not going to be as outrageously emasculating. He officially revealed it last year, but I haven't he...

The latest entry in Nintendo's line of brain training software, Brain Age: Concentration Training, released to practically no fanfare whatsoever back on February 10. I think it's safe to say that the "brain age" craze has lo...

Braid is a game that has generated a lot of press before its Xbox Live Arcade release, be it for its unique mechanics, gorgeous watercolor graphics or controversial price point. The brainchild of independent game developer Jo...

While many longtime game fans sneer at mobile gaming, I've always tried to keep an open mind about it. Done right, a touch-based game is perfectly valid as a form of interactive entertainment, and while there are plenty of ba...

[Update: Gearbox has cleared us to share with you the following, in light of today's leak. Borderlands 2's Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC, which follows Tiny Tina who is running a role-playing tabletop game, will come...

It’s a good thing that Borderlands 2 doesn’t often touch on real-world culture over the course of its kitschy, ostentatious sci-fi romp -- the times where it does have tended to be low points. I was disappointed t...

The best downloadable content, in my experience, serves as a low-risk workshop to spitball and prototype new ideas. Sometimes those ideas pop up later in, say, sequels: it’s impossible to get from Dragon Age: Origins to...

Borderlands 2's first DLC, Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty, extends the original game's love for having as many Easter eggs as possible. The latest (I'd argue greatest), discovery is that there is a Big Daddy na...
