“A hero desires a sword, and a sword desires truth.”  The next Soul Calibur will be here before you know it.  It is set for release the same day as Final Fantasy XIII-2, January 31, 2012 in North America, and February 3 in Europe. Our UK readers can even get a free copy of Soul Calibur V and a PlayStation 3 if you are the winner of Namco Bandai’s best Soul Calibur V cosplay.  You have unt... more.

Final Fantasy – what a series.  From the 1987 launch of the very first game amid near bankruptcy to now fourteen games in the main series, the franchise’s success has been incredible.  It is one of the top selling video game series, having hit the mark for 100 million units shipped back in June 2011.  While very few of the games have direct sequels, there are certain elements that remain co... more.

Serious Sam has earned 'cult' status on the PC platform. The first two titles proved to be big sellers for Croteam, targeting the first person shooter audience who just wanted a good old 'run and gun' style experience. I have been playing the latest iteration in the series now for the last week and have found it both fun, and incredibly challenging. Croteam have followed the same structure as t... more.

The Video Game Awards opened with host Zachary Levi (star of Chuck) appearing in videos of many top video games.  At the conclusion of the video, he said, “I’m a gamer.  Gamers never quit.”  He then flew onto the stage through a portal with the portal gun.  He reviewed the games we would get a sneak peak at and thanked all of the developers.  Zac then warned people to keep their accepta... more.

Details are slowly being unveiled about South Park: The Game, as anticipation mounts for the game announced just last week.  We are looking forward to the game that will quite possibly be one of the most offensive and gut-wrenchingly hilarious games of all time. Gamers will play the new South Park kid as one of the different classes – wizard, paladin, adventurer, rogue, or a clas... more.

It’s a bold declaration to call someone a war criminal, but the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) could very well be changing the scope of war video games forever, since all of us gamers are technically war criminals!  Ever shoot an unarmed person (POW)?  Ever inflict unnecessary injury?  Attack a church or mosque?  Torture, degrade, or otherwise treat a prisoner inhumanely?  ... more.

One of the nerdiest events of the year is almost here!  Spike TV is airing the 9th Annual Video Game Awards this Saturday, December 10th at 5pm Pacific Time (or 1am Sunday, December 11th in the UK, which you can view live on Spike.com).  It will be hosted live from Los Angeles by Chuck TV show’s star Zachary Levi.  Not only was Zac the voice actor for Fallout: New Vegas and Halo: Reach, but h... more.

“The typical gamer.”  What comes to mind?  Perhaps South Park’s obese, pimple-faced WoW players.  Maybe a thirty-something year old living in his parents’ basement.  Teenage boys playing for hours after school.  All of these stereotypes have one thing in common – men.  You may be thinking, “Well duh, girls don’t really play video games.  That’s why I always triple check when... more.

Pandas in Warcraft?!!  How…unexpected.  Last month, the 4th expansion for World of Warcraft was announced – Mists of Pandaria. The Blizzcon 2011 trailer depicts the new race – Pandaren (pandas, essentially) – in a new Asian-themed land – Pandaria.  What?!! This is what WoW shows gamers just weeks before the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic?  The Blizzcon trailer featuring fight... more.

Blocks falling faster, lines filling up, screen almost full – nooo!  Game over!  The Tetris phenomenon is one of the most impressive, given how well the game did outside the gaming community as well as within.  Most, if not all of you reading this article have played Tetris at some point in your lives, as it is one of the most popular “casual video games of all time,” resulting in over 13... more.
