The Madden NFL 12 Super Bowl XLVI simulation has picked a winner, with the New York Giants defeating the New England Patriots in a gripping 21-17 win...

Asura's Wrath is certainly going to be one of the more unique games released this year. It's a game that is structured episodically, much like an anime TV series. Think Naruto (no surprise, given developer CyberConnect2 has helmed several Naruto video games), think short stings where ad breaks would normally take place, think cliffhangers, and think recaps at the start of each episode...

Many are still busy plowing through the insane amount of content included in Skyrim. Maybe you're not one of them.

It is now common practice for Electronic Arts (EA) to include an online pass in new copies of its games that must be activated in order to access online features. However, Syndicate, which EA will publish later this month, will arrive free of any online pass. A producer at EA tells Eurogamer that the online co-op in Syndicate is equal in substance to the single-player campaign and everyone should have access to the entire game...

In just a few months, Prototype 2 will be upon us and we'll all be running through New York City tearing bad guys apart with arm blades and disgusting tendril moves. When that happens, you're not going to have time to sit down and ponder how the cast of this title let their world get into this sicke...

When I first started playing Mass Effect, I set out to behave like a stony-hearted space-bitch. I was going to take the universe for everything it had: credits, loot, fame, blue ladies, the lot. It didn't last long. By the beginning of Mass Effect 2, my red-headed Shepard whom I'd designed to loo...

A concept only takes a game so far. At some point execution takes over, separating great games from great ideas. The concept of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City takes the world of Capcom's survival horror series and turns it on its head, both in design and story, allowing players to see events ...

On the surface, NeverDead looks curiously interesting. Flaunting the garish appeal of a Suda 51 joint, and a potentially distinctive and cool hook macabre dismemberment and decapitation mechanics Konami's little-hyped new title has sleeper hit written all over it. Alas, all that potential quickly ...

Firing cannons and blasting an enemy ship can be rewarding in Port Royale 3, but it's far more enjoyable to take on your foes through subversion. Sure, you could attack their ships as they leave port, either illegally as an unaligned pirate, or by getting permission to do some privateering in the na...
