As bold as day, Electronic Arts has stated thatDead Space 2will not be coming to PC. A version for computers was conspicuous in its absence when EA listed its releases for 2011, and when asked about the situation, EA was forthcoming in its declaration thatDead Space 2would be a console-only affair. The publisher has been less clear as towhyit is denying the PC crowd. No reasons have been given forDead Space 2‘s console-only status....
Visceral Games’Dead Space: Extractionhitsthis September. In order to help you find the title on the shelf easier (there is, after all, another like-titled game), we’ve provided images of the box art below in the gallery. Notice the white box. That’s your first giveaway that the title is for the Wii. Now, take notice of the feisty woman on the cover. That means, again, the game is for the Wii. We kid, of course....
There is no shortage of twin-stick shooters wherever you go, especially when it comes to downloadable titles. Their relatively undemanding specifications make them easy candidates for quick downloads, and the simplicity of the formula serves as a great starting point for budding developers.As I have said many times during the course of these Community Game reviews, however, it takes more than sticking to standards in order for a title to stand out among all the other “me too” games....
The sub-genre of sports games devoted to skateboarding has changed drastically since its debut. Originally, titles such asThrasherandSkate Or Dieportrayed skateboarding as a cliché-ridden MTV-friendly adventure where one could just as likely be killed by bees as grind a rail. Then came Tony Hawk and his eponymous series of skating titles. While Tony’s games elevated the state of virtual skateboarding — and sold an assload of copies — they reflected the traditions of gaming more than the revered and decades old traditions of skateboarding — so while the titles were fun, they were still simply arcade games with a famous spokesperson and a dope soundtrack....
Replaced after August 02, 2025 The Scale And How We Scored before June 03, 2025: The scoring scale was designed in 2008 with much careful consideration, and is intended to take the thought out of the numbers. While it is impossible to not have a number in one’s head when writing a review, this system helps make the number a little more “natural” by lining up the tone of the written review with the scoring summary....
Being a European means my ability to playDragon Questgames have always been rather limited. However, we Brits did manage to get our hands onDragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed Kingand all I can say is that it was pretty bloody challenging. If anybody felt that was too hard, however, they better run for the hills —DQIXis going to beeven tougher. “We make the game to be quite hard,” says series creator Yuji Horii....
At this morning’sMicrosoft press conference, long-rumoredCrackdown 2was officially announced. What you see sitting right there above these words? That’s the official trailer.If you are a fan of the first game, this trailer is going to make you so freakin’ happy.It’s got it all: explosions, massive jumps, car throwing, killer guns, and tons of action. It’s basically like taking the firstCrackdown, injecting steroids into its balls, giving it a bunch of power tools, throwing it on a football field, and letting it have sex with an entire bevy of women....
It is damn warm out here in LA and, thanks to my delicate British skin, Jonathan Holmes and I were more than happy to dive into the GUNNAR Optiksair-conditioned RV to spend some time with them and check out their latest line of 3D glasses.
I’ll admit, I never boughtFruit Ninja. That’s mainly because I live in a technological dark age devoid of fancy, expensive smart phones, where my phone “only” has the ability to make calls anywhere I want at any time. (Part of me is still amazed by common technology simply because it wasn’t ubiquitous when I was a kid.) But I did play it on a friend’s iPhone, where fruit popped up and I sliced the crap out of it with my finger....
It’s on the top!The power switch for the PlayStation Vita is placed on the top edge of the system. See?! Thank God and the gods at Sony. I’d like to think that someone was listening to me! Or maybe it was that someone in charge of the Vita was equally as pissed off as I was with the PSP’s power switch. No more games being accidentally switched off in the heat of gaming from the stupidly placed power slider on the PSP....
The thing about the5th Electronic Sports World Cupis that the competetive gaming was actually the least interesting part of the entire event. I’ve been playing video games for the better part of my short life, and professional gaming bores my balls off. Completely off.Think Bobby Brown, but after he meets Freddie. Don’t get me wrong — I have no problems watching athletic feats of prowess, on TV or otherwise. I just can’t seem to get into watching people frag each other....

This week’s fake game comes to you courtesy of forumitethe GAMEGOBLIN, who also Photoshopped the above screenshot. According to Goblin: Three friends, a dumb-ass, a smart-ass, and one who likes to pound ass, are strapped for cash. Toya, the smart one, with the help of Atsuma and Makoto, begin to build an arms trade with Kyoto city, using golems as slaves to build their weapons. During a drive-by near the sealed ward, the queen of ice (ice as in gangsta bling, yo) is awoken and regains her own arms trade....
