Epic slo-mo has taken over this final pre-release trailer of Formula One 2011. The video is set to music composed by John Sponsler and Tom Gire, the people who wrote the additional score for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.  Heroic stuff. Now try to watch the trailer and not think about transformers. F1 2011 is being developed by Codemasters for all major platforms (except for Wii). The... more.

This summer at E3 we were told that ex-Japanese horror Silent Hill: Downpour will feature a main theme by the nu-metal band Korn. Last week at Tokyo Game Show, the song was released together with a trailer. You can appreciate both below. Interestingly, Korn has produced a theme for a game before. In 2008, the PS3-exclusive shooter Haze was promoted with a song by the same name. The game receive... more.

Japanese developers at Grasshopper Manufacture are responsible for some of the craziest games to ever hit mainstream. Killer7 and No More Heroes were completely messed-up, and the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw will no doubt continue the tradition. Last week at Tokyo Game Show, the studio unveiled a gameplay trailer for their latest creation, Black Knight Sword. The title is developed in collaboration... more.

Dragon Age: Redemption, a web TV series tied in with the story of Dragon Age II, will see a premiere on October 11.

Let me start this off with a declaration: Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is my favourite game ever. I love it. I have played through it more times than any other game. I hereby abandon all attempts at objectivity for the duration of this article. Max Payne, an atmospheric third-person shooter, came out a decade ago and earned instant cult status. The game was ahead of its time. It was dark,... more.

A certain employee from either EA or Dice will get in serious trouble. Recently, a DVD with the pre-release copy of XBox 360 version of Battlefield 3 went missing. Yesterday it ended up in the hands of a certain user of Reddit, a content aggregation website. The brave soul has since published four videos, displaying various parts of the single-player campaign. The videos were posted here, here,... more.

Remember how we recently wrote that Forza Motorsport 4 is not going to have a Porsche? Well, its main competitor, Need for Speed: The Run will have several.

Those of you who plan to attend London MCM Expo have a new reason to be excited. Batman: Arkham City, one of this year's hottest games, will be taking over the event for the whole three days, from 28 to 30 of October. Although the game is coming out a week before, on October 21, Warner Brothers take no chances trying to win your favour. With competition such as Space Marine, Gears of War 3, RAG... more.

Let's face it: Ubisoft has big problems with its DRM policy. Just recently it was offering refunds for From Dust. Players weren't happy that in order to play a single-player game they had to be online all the time. Before that, it was Assassin's Creed 2 and Silent Hunter 5. I understand, they want to protect their intellectual property. But at what cost? Now Uplay is a different beast altogethe... more.
