With this latest edition into the Call of Duty franchise, Infinity Ward has incarcerated gamers all over again; amazingly, even more so than with its predecessor. A new era of gaming is beginning, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at the head of the assembly.  Promised and expected to dominate its competitors with seamless interface and controls, strong story arcs and inconceivable gameplay, ... more.

It seemed only yesterday that the gaming world prepared for the hit space RPG Mass Effect, and now the inevitable Mass Effect 2 now holds its own on a January 26th 2010 release date. Europe will be added into the equation three days later, on the 29th. With pre-ordering considered the “way-to-go” amongst gamers these days, it would seem only fit if inbound with the release dates is also the... more.

What could have been.... Time and time again, shooters are released seemingly every other day, each trying to gain an edge through originality and uniqueness. There have been multiplayer embellishments, single-player masterpieces, but very little has really done anything to alter the bleak reputation of shooters within these generations; yet they still remain remarkably successful through even th... more.

With the critically acclaimed James Cameron’s Avatar hitting the box office in December 2009, the highly-anticipated game adaptation of Avatar is planning to release with a bang. Taking players deep into the heart of Pandora, Avatar: The Game will rivet them with impressive graphics and gameplay proving that games based on movies do have potential, and when executed properly, demonstrate the mak... more.

Few games have even begun to create a ripple in the pristine, and normally calm waters of the MMORPG world. Many titles have been released, while maintaining relatively positive feedback, have yet to be capable of topping the charts. Speculations have been made about Aion being the chosen “one“. Why you may ask? Because in some peoples eyes, Aion has the potential to dethrone World of Warcraf... more.

Marking the end of the Tokyo Game Show ’09 was the crowds slowly begnining to dwindle away, and the coverage gradually depleting to a halt. This weekend was full of high expectations and overwhelming surprises. Some of the biggest video game developer/publishers use this public game show annually to reveal their newest plans, and others use it to gain entry into the industry. We have seen a coll... more.

In these past few years, disappointing PS3 exclusives have become all to common. There have been a couple, if even that many, successful exclusives that stayed true to their expectations. It seems that the hype of these PS3-specific games has become too large, and the games just cant manage to keep up with that hype. The only conclusion: PS3 exclusives have become over-hyped, and quite frankly, ha... more.

The time of the newest limited edition Xbox 360 has come, and long with it, a hefty price tag. It has only been one day since the announcement was made public by Microsoft and it has already gained massive publicity. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has been decided as the game to be given the honours of having an Xbox 360 solely based upon it (I am still waiting for my turn). Video gamers have been ... more.

Has Nintendo made one of their worst decisions of this year by cutting the price of their Wii? Some may say so, but, ultimately, it is within the eyes of the beholder. I for one believe that this may or may not even gain temporary sales, but rather more importantly, it just displays that the Wii isn’t valued as much as it was previously. With this price-cut, Nintendo is planning too boost it�... more.

Halo 3: ODST has gained tremendous hype lately, mostly because it has the word “Halo” in it. Is that hype properly associated with ODST? I believe that ODST will live up to its name and more, and I am going to prove why I think so. Being built with the same multiplayer engine and technologies as its predecessor, Halo 3: ODST is relying on including other great additions that will attract the ... more.

As practically every single main Nintendo character has been featured in a starring video game role, we have to think of the ones who haven’t. One of the ones that surprises me the most is the antagonist of the entire series, Bowser. Bowser, having never had a game solely based on him, finally got his big break. Great minds think alike I guess because Nintendo has finally come out with “Mario ... more.

 The Need for Speed series started off immeasurably strong, pumping us titles like “The Need For Speed,” “Need For Speed II,” and “Need for Speed: Underground.” Since 1994 EA has been devoted to the franchise, through the good and the bad, and there has definitely been some rough patches. Lately, Need For Speed doesn’t seem to be having the success it is used to and we can only assu... more.

Annoyed by the unnecessary sound coming out of your Xbox 360? Is it really that big of a deal? If you think it is, you might want to check this out, although the price tag - $900 - is enough to turn everyone except the wealthy. If you can afford a cost like that, then you’re in luck, or if you’re like me, its not that loud anyways is it? Well, to be a bit more specific, if you want the bear... more.

Very little information on Bungie’s latest game in development - possibly the last between Microsoft and Bungie as partners - Halo: Reach, has been released to the public, other than it may very well be the largest game yet from Bungie. What has been shown by Microsoft and Bungie is a small teaser that covers the fall of the planet Reach, a pivotal time point in Halo lore. When asked about the g... more.
