Their showing at this year’s Game Developers’ Conference 2009 may not exactly reaffirm hopes but Microsoft has been very active as of late, albeit in secret. Besides rumours of new IPs from Rare doing the rounds, Microsoft Game Studios, the main in-charge of the Xbox and Games for Windows game division, has been doing the [...]
If Valve is the anti-PS3, then meet the slightly less but ultimately anti-360 developer. Konami has been making the rounds lately with their teasing announcement of the next Metal Gear Solid. The rumours have already begun flying on whether the game will focus solely on Raiden or if it will be set between the main [...]
If you’ve been tuned into the Game Developers’ Conference 2009, then the obvious is an understatement: This is a Sony affair. A new Zelda for the DS, motion controls for the 360 (courtesy of a third party) but for the most part, it’s the Sony fans who should be really excited. Besides more gameplay footage [...]

But when the torture is as implicit, as vilely penetrating into every aspect of all you hold sacred like Dragonball Evolution…and when you realize from the beginning that the cast [...]
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, being a true sequel to the original horror and action fest, is now more than a month old but I confess to only recently getting my hands on the game.
