American gamers just aren’t much into rally racing. Developer Codemasters settled into this realization after three straight games in the Dirt franchise which was always more popular abroad, and now they’ve come right at the American market with a destruction-oriented spinoff called Dirt: Showdown. Instead of rally courses, we’ll be getting tight little tracks as well as arenas where cars smash into each other for fortune and glory, and while I haven’t been able to...
Guild Wars 2 Preview

Some of us lucky journalist-types got the chance to visit ArenaNet’s Seattle-based studios this last weekend to see, talk about, and – most importantly – play Guild Wars 2. This MMORPG sequel, being published by NCSoft, will make some pretty interesting changes to the standard model of how an MMO plays, and while it might seem on the surface that this is the usual game of leveling up, getting quests, finishing them and getting loot, it will quickly become clear to players that...

At first glance, Sister’s Secrecy: Arcanum Bloodlines might be mistaken as your average adventure/hidden object game like many of the others that have been coming out in the past few years, but as soon as you get into this particular game, it’s obvious that there is a bit more. At least, that’s the impression I’ve gotten from the hands-on demo I recently got to play through.
Space Monkey International, the folks behind Voodoo Chronicles: First Sign, developed this latest...

JJ Abrams and Paramount Pictures resurrected one of the most beloved sci-fi franchises of all time when they brought together a re-imagined Star Trek movie in 2009, with all of the original show’s characters we know and love in an entirely new light. Once Paramount realized how successful the movie was, they started working with The Darkness II developer Digital Extremes and publisher Namco on a major game as a follow-up, probably to coincide with the inevitable box-office sequel. The...

I’m an unashamed fan of Family Guy, so I’m excited to bring you the preview of Family Guy Online, a browser based, mid-core "MMOLOL."
Yeah, that’s a stupid joke, but maybe it doesn’t represent the humor in the rest of the game. Check out the video below for an interview with Roadhouse Interactive COO & Co-Founder Ian Verchere and Studio Art Director Murray McCarron.
