Valve is probably the most exalted PC game developer in the market right now. Probably even more than Blizzard. Of course, Blizzard used to be totally invincible at a time- Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, and many others are till date regarded as some of the best PC games ever. But that is a thing of the past. Today, in the time of High Definition, of Graphics, of God of War and Halo, nothing, nothin... more.

So a few days ago we got our preview copy of Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days from Eidos via Express Games. We all know and accept that the original Kane and Lynch was far from perfect, but after some extended playtime with the sequel, Dog Days, we can safely say that Kane & Lynch 2 is shaping up much more promisingly than its predecessor.We got a chance to play through the first four levels of... more.

I have been waiting for Backbreaker to release for a very long time now. I think I originally saw it in a subscription to a gaming magazine I had purchased nearly 2 years ago. Finally I got my grubby little paws on the demo and within the following weeks I will actually have the full copy. For now, I get to give my opinions on the demo that I downloaded from the Play Station Network. I really have... more.

If there is one game coming out this month that isn't getting enough media attention, its Naughty Bear. Yes, it may have a title that sounds more like a dirty movie than a video game, but it also has the potential to be a cult classic.The story of the game is that there is a giant Teddy Bear birthday party...but Naughty Bear wasn't invited. Naughty Bear decides the right thing to do is to brin... more.

I got a chance to play the Medal of Honor beta today for a few hours, though I was really expecting this game to be great, I was a bit disappointed.Keep in mind this is only a beta, and I hope Dice fixes all of the problems or at least the major ones found in the "Ugly" section.The Good:Controls:Fans of Bad Company 2 will find this game to be very familiar, which is why I did, the ... more.

“So there is this Transformers game coming out, its a third person shooter like Gears of War, has a bunch of Transformers from the original series, and actually looks really good.” This statement is almost impossible to believe, given the history of Transformers videogames, but after getting my hands on the Transformers: War for Cybertron Multiplayer Demo, we just might have a great Transforme... more.

Initially I was skeptical on how good this game would actually be, and I must say that I had basically predetermined my decision based on the history of mini golf games. It wasn’t until I actually played the first few holes that I realized I had made a grave mistake doubting it. Planet Minigolf is actually a decently fun game with cartoony but stimulating visuals. Normally mini golf games are ju... more.

What happens when you take a favorite childhood toy, popular movie franchises, and video games? You get brilliance. Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is the newest installment in this formula of games, and after spending some time hands on, I can assure you it is one of the best yet. The Lego games have always delivered a strong “sit down and have fun” atmosphere. Where some games are enjoyable thr... more.

UFC 2010 is nearly a carbon copy of the 2009 release. This is typical for a lot of sports games because it is hard to innovate year after year. Honestly they could have done a few things different. The theme music is the same, and even if it is the official theme song of the UFC, they should have used something else. With that being said I also strongly believe that if it is not broken, do not fix... more.

To many Halo fans, Reach comes as a blessing and a curse. Reach marks the final entry from bungie in the Halo universe, and where that is a depressing fact, Bungie is putting its best foot forward as they exit the scene. There is talk that other publishers may create further games, but to the hardcore fan this is the final Halo title.Halo Reach takes place shortly before the events of the ... more.

Rocket Knight Adventures is back and just as good as ever. In this updated version of RKA, many of you may remember from Sega Genesis, Sparkster has a new enemy that resembles something of Sonic and Knuckels.  The back story is that Spark returns to his home castle of Zephyrus to find it in shambles 15 years after the original game. Now he has to suit up in his jet pack in what seems like a much ... more.

So a few days ago we got our hands on a near final version of Alpha Protocol from SEGA via E-express Interactive, and we are very pleased to announce that it is shaping up to be a pretty solid action role playing game. I will try and keep the story elements hidden as much as I can since I don’t want to spoil it for you guys. So the game starts off with you taking the role of Michael Thorton, a r... more.

First off I just want to say that in terms of graphics, MLB 10 is one of the most visually stunning sports games I have ever had the pleasure of testing. This is groundbreaking and setting the bar for material folding dynamic lighting and what ever else they threw in to make MLB 10 as beautiful as it is. The textures are good, the grass gets a little sketchy looking when super zoomed in but for th... more.

Finished the latest Forza? Bored of Burnout? Given up waiting for the new Gran Turismo? Well, there's a glut of upcoming new racers in the next few months that will be fighting for pole position in the gaming charts... and I reckon Split/Second: Velocity from Black Rock Studio - part of Disney Interactive – has a good chance of coming out on top.[caption id="attachment_7245" align="aligncent... more.

Since the release of the Bad Company 2 PC beta on Thursday, I have had some quality play time with it, and I'm going to tell you all about it.Bad Company 2, particularly in its beta stage, isn't perfect. However, not only is it a heck of a lot of fun, but it has the potential to be one of the best shooters of 2010.The beta only comes with one game mode, Rush, and one map, Port Valdez. Rush... more.

The Gran Turismo 5 Academy demo is out now on the PSN and we’re going to give you a run down of what to expect.Gran Turismo 5 is arguably Sony’s top exclusive of next year. The franchise has always delivered a visually impressive, tight controlled, chart busting, and critically acclaimed racing experience. From what I played in the demo it seems as though that strong tradition will continu... more.

God of War III has some stiff competition as Dante’s Inferno is about as epic as they come.When talking about 2010 there are a few titles that immediately come to mind. Mass Effect 2, Halo Reach, and especially God of War III rank among the most anticipated. Having now played Dante’s Inferno I can say without a doubt that it not only deserves to rank up there next to God of War III, but it... more.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past four years you will know that the God of War franchise is one of the best and most popular ones to date.  God of War 1 and 2 came out in 2005 and 2007, respectively and still hold up today.  However in March the gaming world will find out the end to Kratos’ trilogy and see what happens in God of War 3.  The demo is available (or will be) ... more.

Assassin's Creed 2 is just a few days away from us, before we finally get some real hands down on the game.  So just before we review the game we thought we should shed some light on Ubisoft's highly anticipated game: Assassin's Creed 2. Behold! There might be spoilers ahead.In the sequel the protagonist remains the same, but Desmond will be playing  the role of Ezio, a nobleman who is a de... more.
