Back at this year’s E3 we had a chance to check out a brief demo of Dungeon Siege III, and were happy to see it was looking good. Of course it was a demo prepped specifically for the show, but the presented material ran well and looked like it had the right elements to be [...]
Today at Comic-Con Capcom and Namco teamed up for a surprising announcement. The two developers are collaborating to produce Street Fighter X Tekken. It is exactly what it sounds like: a fighting game that pits the characters from Street Fighter against those of Tekken. The fighters will all retain their signature moves. Note that it [...]
Fight Night Round 3 set the gaming world ablaze with its gorgeous E3 demo back in 2005. Now EA Sports is returning with the fifth iteration in the sports franchise, dubbed Fight Night Champion coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011. And, just in case you’re wondering, this is not an expansion to [...]
There’s certainly something to be said for a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Deadliest Warrior is a traditional fighting game at first glance, but once you delve deeper into the download it becomes clear that this is something a bit different. You can lop off limbs, achieve instant kills with arrow shots through [...]
15. Gran Turismo 5 Geddes: I’m a huge car and racing fan. I still play Forza 3 even though it came out a while ago but it doesn’t have that “car porn” vibe that I’m looking for. Gran Turismo always has so many cars that are beautifully modeled. Hil: Gran Turismo 5 is one of [...]
At the beginning of every year, the IGN editors sit down, look over the publishers’ projected release lists and argue over our list of the most anticipated games of the upcoming 12 months. Then the year actually kicks off, and everything changes. Delays happen, new games are announced and the Electronic Entertainment Expo shakes everything [...]
It always amazes me when I hear stories about how popular the Dragon Quest series is in Japan. The entire country seems to react feverishly when the game hits store shelves, similar to how college frats shut down when a new Halo is released (just on a much larger scale that doesn’t involve Jagermeister). But [...]
There are loads of gamers who have played Modern Warfare 2 every day since its release — but haven’t touched the single-player campaign. It seems people really, really like to shoot other people in games. So a cheap, multiplayer-focused first-person shooter like Blacklight: Tango Down makes perfect sense. It’s not the most original shooter out [...]
The next generation of handhelds could have 3G wireless capabilities according to reports that a Japanese network carrier is in talks with a number of videogame companies. NTT DoCoMo, one of Japan’s largest mobile phone operators, is actively seeking to bring 3G wireless capabilities to handhelds such as Nintendo’s 3DS and Sony’s much-rumoured PSP follow-up. [...]
We’ve been really impressed with what we’ve seen of The Force Unleashed II to date, so let’s take a look at the areas it’s likely to excel in. A Story That Matters The original game introduced us to Starkiller, Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, and provided an interesting story set between Revenge of the Sith and [...]
Unfortunately, Ruffian didn’t include many tools to help players coordinate with each other. On the maps, every player is a triangle with nothing to let you know who is who. You can’t lay down waypoints or mark locations, either, which makes giving directions a pain. And there aren’t nearly enough vehicles that all four players [...]
