The War of the Worlds gets new screens and a trailer
I am really quite excited for The War of the Worlds, having played it at PAX. The moody, death-riddled platforming as seen in classics like Heart of Darkness and the more recent Limbo really resonates with me, and I think this could be a real winner. We've got a selection of screens and a new trailer for you to take a peek at, so go do that. Hopefully some of you care as much as I do. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Looks really cool. As much as I suck at them, I really love the Abe's Odyssey/Flashback platformer sub-genre. Also, anything involving Patrick Stewart's voice is hard to pass up. Flashback was the first thing that came to my mind too. One of my favorite games on sega. Really looking forward to this. 4:30 PM on 05.20.2013 Hop through time with the fifth Mega Man comic collectionLadies and gentlemen, a new Archie Mega Man graphic novel is arriving this Wednesday, May 22.

12:00 PM on 05.20.2013 Gran Turismo 6: A peek under the hoodJust a few weeks ago, we were picking over Gran Turismo 6 rumors, and now here we are with our very first preview. I was surprised to walk into a hands-on opportunity just one day after the title was officially announced. Surprised and pleased. It may not have been the PlayStation 4 launch game I was hoping for, but it's never really a bad time for more Gran Turismo.

In 1898, H.G. Wells published a tale of invaders from another world, descending upon Earth's cities with a terrible force. The War of the Worlds has been adapted into every form of media since that time, including a couple of videogames.
