I hate tactical games. I hate strategy games, real-time strategy games, and tactical RPGs. I would rather drive screws into my nostrils with the business end of a power drill and, of course, apply a nail gun to my eyes than play a tactics title. But Linde stole all myCastlevanias, kidnapped my cat and said I can’t playTrauma Centeruntil I wrote this review. I drove a few screws into the soft part of my skull in an attempt to assuage his evil, but alas, he made me do it anyway....

Dear Mr. Grady, We bid you welcome to the quaint lakeside town of Silent Hill. It’s a wonderful little town, really. It’s safe and quiet, and it boasts several hospitals. The lakeside is pretty, albeit a bit foggy throughout the day. We take great pride in having a loving community. We’ve got a play going on at the Midwich Elementary School. The whole town is going to be there — it’s a sight you won’t want to miss....

Dragon’s Dogmawants you all to know about its lighting effects, which is handy because these new screens show off exactly that. Convenient! The latest gallery has a range of scenes at various times of the day in order to show off the range of lighting on offer. From bright sunny vistas to gloomy, shadowy castles, the game has it all. Especially when it comes to fire, sinceDragon’s Dogmais increasingly looking like apyromaniac’s wet dream....

This new release allows you to upload your own mp3’s and thrash out till digital guitar stardom … or fail. We’re curious as to how this game stacks up to the likes of Guitar Hero and how good it fares against our unusual MP3 collection. We’re taking requests so join us in the chat!...

If there was ever an MMO to get me into MMOs this is probably it. All the superheroes we know and love and the ability to fight right along side with them or kick their ass. Yes, please. On my PS3 and not on my computer? Triple yes with a cherry on top (sorry, not a PC player). Now, does this mean I will actually be picking it up when it lands on November 2?...

de Blobwas sadly one of de most criminally underplayed games ever. It had an awesome art style, a great concept and did some great stuff with music. Thankfully, it sold just well enough (or maybe it sold just bad enough) on de Wii for THQ to decide to make a sequel,de Blob: The Underground, on every platform out there. What’s it going to be like? Check it out above. de vid shows the game on de Wii, and it is looking mighty sharp....

I love this game. Awesomenauts— developed by Ronimo Games, the creator of the superbSword and Soldiers— is a six-player team-based battle game combining elements fromLeague of Legends,Monday Night Fights, andWorms. That is to say, IT IS AMAZING! I wasn’t expecting to like this Xbox Live Arcade / PSN game as much I did, but read on to find out what won me over. #1 (reason I love this game): The look!...

Among the slew of titles Electronic Arts decided to show the press at yesterday’s showcase wasBoogie Superstarfor the Wii, the upcoming girl-centric follow up to last year’sBoogie. The game features dancing, singing, and — let’s be reasonable — is not exactly directed at our demographic. So it’s a good thing we snuck in with our tween correspondent, 12-year-old Taylor Tiffany. This was her first assignment, and she was not on EA’s guest list, despite the fact the we very clearly RSVPed for her....

I have a confession to make. I likeHarry Potter. Well, I like the movies anyway. Emma Watson is hot. What? She’s 18 now. I can say that. Er, anyway, I played the Wii version of the upcomingHarry Potter and The Half-Blood Princegame based on the upcoming movie. I got to check out some of the new features as well as having some hands-on with the new magical duel mode with the extremely happy Flynn DeMarco fromGayGamer(I kicked his ass!...

While it’s debatable that Electronic Arts is, in fact,De Debilz, there’s no denying that the locust-esque company swallower is, like most corporations, a big fat pile of PR and sleaze. The news should have come as no shocker then, when it was discovered thatEA was editing Wikipedialike a dirty cheat, removing traces of EA founder Trip Hawkins and whitewashing over some of the more scandalous and vile moments of the company’s history....

Analysts have been among those clamoring for a PlayStation 3 price cut, so it’s not surprise that EEDAR has been among the first to comment on news that$299.99 is the new entry-level pricefor the PlayStation 3. Jesse Divinch made his feelings on the matter quite clear with a loud proclamation: “Hallelujah!” “EEDAR is pleased to see that the PlayStation 3 has finally dropped in price,” states Divinch. “The new PlayStation 3 pricing scheme finally makes the Sony console a much more competitive product, relative to its closest rival, the Xbox 360....

The sequel to Konami’s 2006 Nintendo Wii gameElebitslooks like a better game… and it’s on the DS.Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zeroshould be on store shelves as we speak. We’ll admit that it sort of missed our radar, though. The second half of this video shows game play, and it looks pretty solid. Like its predecessor, you’re using the power of Elebits to solve puzzles and find hidden things, but this time you’re working in a 2D plane, looking at things from the top down....

I have to hand it to Electronic Arts — they may be pretty damn spotty when it comes to quality, but damn if their marketing isn’t spot-on. WithMercenaries 2: World in Flameshaving launched in the UK today, publisher EA has been promoting the game in one of the most novel ways I’ve seen — by taking over a petrol station and offering £20,000 worth of fuel free to motorists. By 07:30 BST this morning, EA had already served more than 150 drivers with their £40 share of free petrol....
