Serious Sam 3: Hands-On Preview
Posted by Game Spot on Aug 24, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Resolutely retro Serious Sam 3: BFE combines destructible environments with chaotic old-school fragging.
If Duke Nukem Forever didn’t scratch your itch for a willfully old-school fragfest, keep an eye on Serious Sam 3: BFE (Before First Encounter), the prequel to the original 2001 Serious Sam game. “Unrealistic combat in realistic environments” is developer Croteam’s mantra which, in our hands-on with the game, amounts to hordes of Serious Sam’s customary exotic...

Posted by Game Spot on Aug 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment
We chat to a few of the guys behind Rugby World Cup 2011 to find out what it’s like releasing a sports game without the EA Sports logo, their thoughts on the competition, and more.
There are just a few weeks left until New Zealand is turned into the battlefield for the Web Ellis Cup–the prestigious award that awaits the winner of the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. The last rugby union video game was released back in ’08, and the drought officially ends with the release...
Might & Magic: Heroes VI Updated Hands-On – Exploration, Combat, and More
Posted by Game Spot on Aug 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Might & Magic: Heroes VI will continue the Heroes of Might & Magic series in a unified world. We dive into the world of Ashan once more.
Might & Magic: Heroes VI is the next chapter in Ubisoft’s rebooted Heroes of Might & Magic series, and even though this new game is being developed by Black Hole Studios (Warhammer: Mark of Chaos and Armies of Exigo), it seems to have more immediately in common with Heroes V than with the classic Heroes III–the game that gets...

The Witcher 2 studio CD Projekt Red is busy prepping a bumper PC update and an X360 version of its lauded role-playing game.
CD Projekt Red is so pumped about the update it’s preparing for acclaimed role-playing game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings that it gives this PC “version 2.0″ top billing in its Gamescom presentation, ahead even of the upcoming Xbox 360 version, due early next year. The bumper updated PC version, free to those who’ve already bought the game,...
Jurassic Park: The Game Preview

What happened to Dennis Nedry’s can of stolen dino science? Telltale’s Jurassic Park adventure has your answers.
If you ever wondered what happened to that Barbasol can full of stolen dinosaur embryos, Telltale has just the adventure game for you. Jurassic Park: The Game picks up after Dennis Nedry gets a face full of Dilophosaurus spit (also, eaten) and drops the can, which, it turns out, has a locating device inside. So the plot of the game runs partly parallel to the 1993...
D3 Publisher Preview

Being a professional game journalist it’s my sworn duty to maintain an entirely hectic schedule of press junkets and exclusive PR events, and it’s not uncommon for such things to slip through the cracks. This is why I find myself tearing ass up the L.A. highway so the boys at D3 can show me their latest wares, more than an hour past my initial appointment. Even despite rescheduling I still arrive ten minutes late, awkwardly bumbling my way into the room and stealing some pieces of loose-leaf...
Gamescom 2011: Dragon’s Dogma Updated Impressions Preview – Pawns
Posted by Game Spot on Aug 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Hiroyuke Kobayashi explains the party mechanics in Dragon’s Dogma.
We’re not sure what to make of the name Dragon’s Dogma. It’s hard to imagine a dragon’s religious upbringing went any further than “thou shall breathe fire” and “thou shall devour foolish adventurers.” Whatever it means, the game was on display at the 2011 Gamescom. Because we already got some hands-on time with this open-world, hack-and-slash game, developer Capcom focused...

Before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area, I was lucky enough to live in Vancouver for the last four years, and as most sports fans know, the city was draped with hockey fever until mid-June....
Gamescom 2011: Anarchy Reigns Hands-On Preview
Posted by Game Spot on Aug 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Platinum’s first online game contains lots of chaotic, score-chasing, multiplayer brawling.
At Gamescom 2011, Sega doesn’t risk letting Anarchy Reigns’ single-player mode pull focus away from its multiplayer brawling. The offline campaign is given a quick nod: we’re reminded it’ll be served up in two halves, with the “dark side” of the story starring Jack, he of MadWorld fame, and with the “light side” casting the player as Leo, a law-enforcing...
Metro: Last Light Updated Preview
Posted by Game Spot on Aug 21, 2011 | Leave a Comment
We smash some lightbulbs, cut off heads, and add an extra dimension in our latest look at this future shooter.
“The flawed masterpiece” is a term that THQ has used on more than one occasion when referring to 2010’s Metro 2033. Loved by fans of the gritty postapocalyptic genre, the title’s critical reception was hampered by a handful of design quirks and technical foibles, such as inconsistent AI.
Determined to improve on some of the shortcomings of the original,...
