Guns of Icarus Online is the spiritual successor of Muse Games’ original turret-defense game Guns of Icarus. Stepping to the shoes of Captain Gabriel of the airship Icarus, players must transport across the world, gunning down pirates that try to knock you out of the sky.
Gabriel and his crew serve as supply carries between settlements in a post-apocalyptic world. Sporting an attractive steampunk aesthetic, Guns of Icarus allows up to four players to man the airship at once. No friends?...

Turn off the lights, puts some headphones on, and get ready to wake up into the world of Stasis. The trailers had us biting our nails off.
You wake up, covered in a green slimy liquid. There’s nothing to indicate what time of day or year it is. You don’t know where you are or what you’re doing lying face-up in a dirty abandoned research facility. Yet, three defining thoughts enter your brain: Where’s your wife? Where’s your daughter? What are you going to...

The Vita version of the crossover brawler will enable battles between PS3 and Vita, and comes with the 12 new fighters packaged as DLC for everyone else.
When Street Fighter X Tekken arrives for Sony’s handheld this autumn, the home console versions will have been kicking around for months. So it’s just as well the Vita release is more than the same game squeezed onto a smaller screen. It also opens up cross-platform play between the Vita and PlayStation 3s–good news for...

Now we’ve gone hands-on with Ninja Theory’s Devil May Cry reboot, we can stop talking about the hair. Right after this preview.
Tameem Antoniades is relieved to put DmC into the hands of the press at last–maybe now we’ll stop banging on about how Dante looks and start on whether he’s any fun to play. “Ironically, Dante’s hair is black and mine’s turning white now,” says the Ninja Theory chief, referring to months of being denounced by...

Unless you expected a civilian hero, a personal story, and Western developer Spark Unlimited (in which case, good job).
After Lost Planet 2’s modest sales and lukewarm reviews, Capcom must have had a long, hard think on its sci-fi shooter series. A change of direction was probable, then, but not an about-face like this: Lost Planet 3 is a character-driven, primarily single-player adventure set years before the events of the first game. It’s recognisably a Lost Planet outing...

And the blonde girl is Sherry Birkin. Also: real zombies, “horror entertainment”.
Is the future of Resident Evil action or horror? The series of late has been evolving towards action, and you could call it adapt or die; the producer of 3DS instalment Revelations says the market is too small to support horror as we once knew it. But the makers of Resident Evil 6 talked up a “return to horror” at Capcom’s annual Captivate showcase, where they balanced the all-out...

Come along as we take you through a guided tour of Hong Kong in our PAX East 2012 Sleeping Dogs hands-on preview. Here’s a snippet:
"I spotted the guy who owed me money, Ming, because of my keen eyesight and because there was a giant red circle over his head indicating it’s time for a chase. Holding down A sends your character speeding after the perp. At this speed it becomes easy to run up walls, under polls, and to scale buildings in your path. It’s not Ezio climbing,...

League of Legends is getting two new champions, the monstrous Hecarim and the nimble Varus, and Rob Manuel got some hands on time with both in our latest League of Legends preview from PAX East 2012:
"Blazing with the black flame of death, Hecarim charges onto the scene as a spectral centaur cavalryman with a rather large halberd to do all the talking for him. Nicknamed the shadow of war, the new champion focuses on damage and speed. His main ability throws him into battle with a forward...
