    Pitching a fusion of Darwinism and cock fighting and tied in with a catch phrase egging on 100% elitism, Pokémon has somehow managed to become one of the most popular game series of all time. Although intended for kids 10+, there’s plenty of elements in the Pokémon world that make for good nightmare fuel. While...

    In a recent tweet, Sid Shuman revealed that the launch lineup of PS All-stars has been entirely revealed. Given that the tweet is still located on Sid Shuman’s twitter home page, this does not appear to be a marketing mistake nor a lie. From this, we can assume that he’s telling the truth–the entire cast...

    Recently, Notch went on record as tweeting ‘I’d rather have minecraft not run on windows 8 at all than to play along,’ referring to his refusal to certify Minecraft for Windows 8. This opinion is a bit unfounded and shows that a lot of confusion surrounds the release of the next Windows operating system. While...

    Looking like a game fresh off the PC shelves of Wal-mart (you know the ones I’m talking about), Devil’s Cove is a curious addition to the growing library of game pitches on Kickstarter. Made by an independent company who had the luxury of making dozens of games before, the game’s demo has a unique mix...

    The PS3 can last a while because of its efficient and powerful design—I wouldn’t be surprised if they skip next generation entirely. But there’s something ominous about the way Sony is handling their systems and games as we approach the holiday season—and laying off half of their PR team simply adds fuel to the fire....

    With a plethora of MMOs constantly being released, there are a few elements that seem to be missing in all of them. Commercials focus on the genre of the game when they talk about plot, rather than the actual plot details, and will always emphasize customization even if it’s a low level of customization compared...

    Like Planetary Annihilation, Blackspace is a real-time strategy game that focuses on extraterrestrial mining and warfare.

The entire preview of it resembles a more aggressive version of Minecraft—although instead of focusing on building, you focus entirely on staying alive. Despite insisting that...
