It's not a pretty game. It's not about a hero and it's not about glory. The concept of Dragon Rising is a breath of fresh air, as it steps away from the cinematic depiction of war that games have started to portray exclusively and throws you in the middle of combat as a soldier should be, on a need to ... |

Video games aren't exactly very innovative sometimes as, when they find a theme they can exploit, developers usually try to run it dry then abuse it some more before migrating to the next “cash cow.” Such is the case with World War II titles, which have appeared ever since the invention of fairly com... |

Evil. It is the center point for a lot of video games these days, as many tell the story of a brave and good character going up against the forces of evil and eventually vanquishing them in a tour de force. After that, all is well in the land, peace reigns and everyone can start hugging puppies and kittens until they... |

Rumble Fighter is not really the latest OGPlanet published online multiplayer but what’s different about it is that the studio has recently launched a closed beta release for the European version of the game, preparing it for its new customers. Those that have an active beta testing account with OGPlanet can do... |

Open world games are pretty standard these days, with many developers trying to place players in the shoes of ordinary people who have an interesting story. But sometimes, game creators spice it up a bit, and give every gamer what he wants: a super-powered character who can cause havoc in the world around him with a ... |

There are a few certain things in life, like death and taxes. And, if you are a gamer, there's a third certainty: slap a The Sims label on a content disk and it will sell like crazy. The series has sold over 100 million copies (all products combined) and The Sims 2 got more expansion packs than I can count or re... |

The wait has finally come to an end! An awesome map and a very long and impressive changelog awaits the fans. This release could be one of the biggest things that has happened to DotA in a while. The Hero Defense map is constantly taken higher and higher by IceFrog with new heroes, shops and items. Story DotA (Def... |

Hollywood is seemingly on a roll with comic book adaptations since we've seen quite a lot of them recently, Batman, Ironman and Watchmen included. Even though Wolverine was the main character in all the X-Men films made until now, his success has finally resulted in a solo-movie treatment, in the form of X-Men O... |

Demigod is a great game. Some say it does not have single player, but they are wrong. Just set up a skirmish and take on A.I.-controlled opponents, which are tough to defeat on Nightmare difficulty. Some say that the glitches in setting up over the Internet multiplayer are taking away from the game by denying players... |

Open-world games are the latest fashion these days, courtesy of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series, which practically wrote the book on how characters could interact in an open-world environment and, eventually, set up their own criminal network that would completely favor them. But even though GTA is the bench... |

A few gaming genres are currently dominating the market. Besides the ever so popular music games, we also have racing and sandbox titles, which try to offer the player a great, adrenaline-filled experience in an open world.As Midway couldn't convince movie star Vin Diesel to take up singing, it settled with two ... |

Red Alert 3 was one of the most expected titles of last year's holiday season, as fans were eager to see where one of the most beloved series in the Command & Conquer series would take the story. The hype campaign surrounding it was unprecedented, with the team at EA Los Angeles pulling out all the stops to prom... |

One could argue that there are two significantly different periods in the history of the Total War series, as created by Creative Assembly: there are the first two games, Shogun and Medieval, where the strategic map is more of an excuse for players to get into the innovative (at that time) and beautiful tactical batt... |

You have to appreciate Relic’s guts. In the original Dawn of War, it had a beautiful game, which generated three successful expansion packs, played nice in multiplayer, provided epic battles and was quickly enshrined in the Hall of Fame of RTS games. It had it all: base building, teching up, a lot of unit types... |

For quite some time, racing games have become synonymous with Electronic Arts' yearly Need For Speed titles, which have generated massive amounts of profit for the company despite a somewhat descending curve in terms of quality. But EA hasn't been resting on its laurels and has supported the Criterion Games... |

Sandbox adventure games have been, for quite some time, synonymous with Rockstar's very popular Grand Theft Auto franchise. Since GTA III, a first 3D installment in the series, people have always weighed other titles against it, with the most common result being that these titles couldn't compare to it. Wit... |

No need for "an original game," no need to keep a CD close or search the Internet for a downloadable version! To play this game, all you need is a PC running Windows XP or Vista, a browser (Firefox or Internet Explorer) and a good Internet connection. Quake Live is a first person shooter that allows you to frag your ... |

The gaming industry has been following a somewhat descending trend when it comes to making original games that push the envelope in terms of gameplay or story. As such, we've been flooded with sequels or titles that have been built on a tried and true recipe, which didn't really bring any new things to the ... |

The gaming industry has quite a lot of iconic franchises, but in the genre of open world sandbox action games one reigns supreme, Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar's brainchild, this series has entertained us since the first top-down view versions appeared in 1997, and, with its latest Grand Theft Auto IV, has set new ... |

Fallout 3 is the kind of game that creates stories and powers memories. I could sit down with fellow players and talk for hours about what happened in my last play session and about how their experiences were different from mine. About that time I took out a pack of Mirelurks with Plasma Mines, about that time I kill... |
