High Moon Studios, known for the recent Transformers: Cybertron game series, attempt to change things. High Moon has not only created a comic title, but a comic title. Deadpool openly breaks (more like shatters), the fourth wall and acknowledges the expectation

Hinges. I risked Maya's life for hinges to help build the medical tent at our safehouse. It should have been a routine outing. The few homes where it was suspected hinges might be found were just a block away. Maya had been out on tougher missions before, and this seemed like a walk in the park for the military-trained woman I'd met just a few days before. However, in a zombie apocalypse, there's

Ubisoft's Far Cry 3 was one of the best games of 2012, so when a pseudo-sequel was announced as a downloadable title, there was reason for excitement. Though the game has little to do with Far Cry 3 proper, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is just as enjoyable as its disc-based counterpart. With a tongue planted firmly in its cheek, Blood Dragon exudes machismo, action, and a sweet soundtrack that '80s fan

In a crowded marketplace overflowing with first person shooters, it’s not easy to make a game stand out from the competition. Fortunately, the developers behind Metro: Last Light have a genre that hasn’t been explored too deeply by the rest of the world. Sure, the post-apocalyptic genre has become pretty commonplace, but post-apocalyptic Russia? That's another story entirely.

Telltale Games surprised a lot of people with the announcement of Poker Night 2, a sequel to a niche game with quirky co-stars and lots of humor. This follow-up picks up where the original left off, and brings a host of new faces and catch phrases to the poker table. Though it isn't as robust or deep as some other poker video games, Poker Night 2 has an incredible amount of charm and wit to more t

The follow-up to the surprise hit of the same title, Dead Island: Riptide is now on shelves and ready for you to play with your buddies. Some of you are like me -- you’d heard of the zombie RPG original but missed it in the flood of constant video game releases. So, with fresh and untarnished eyes, here’s my look at Dead Island: Riptide.

It would be easy to dismiss Motocross Madness as yet another throwaway arcade game for the Xbox 360. More and more, XBLA games with that feature the use of avatars look like shovelware designed to justify Microsoft's decision to hijack Miis from Nintendo. However, after breaking through the game’s crusty exterior, Motocross Madness surprisingly delivers an entertaining arcade experience worth you

Launching this week on Xbox Live, BattleBlock Theater is the latest creation from indie developers, the Behemoth. Their follow-up to Castle Crashers, BattleBlock Theater has been in development for several years. Finally, after being demo’d at multiple gaming conventions, gamers can play at home with one of the biggest arcade releases of the year. Should fans of co-operative platformers check this

Epic’s Gears of War franchise has been a landmark series for the Xbox 360. When the third game in the trilogy proper closed out the story of Marcus and the COG’s war against the Locust, many wondered where the series would go next.

Announced ahead of Dead Space 3’s launch, “Awakened” was hyped as being more terrifying and gruesome than anything players had seen to that point. Hyperbole aside, “Awakened” is a bit different than the rest of the core game. Normally a change of pace would be interesting, but that’s just not the case this time around. “Awakened” isn’t nearly as engaging or fun as Dead Space 3, and that isn’t help
