This year's annual iteration of Activision's records-setting juggernaut franchise Call of Duty was revealed today to be Black Ops II, a sequel to the World at War sequel from a couple of years ago. The ninth game of the series will take viewers back to the future, but unlike Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 3 last year, which was set in the near future, Treyarch's Black Ops II wi... Read More »

After Sony teased gamers all week by posting a mysterious image on the official PlayStation website and Facebook page asking "Will vengeance bring redemption?," many were left wondering if it could be for the inevitable God of War 4. Last time there was a God of War teaser most were let down with the announcement that it would be a PSP game. Thankfully, this time the tease wasn... Read More »

With Skyrim and Rage done, everyone has been dying to know what Bethesda is going to do next. The publisher behind one of 2011's best games and biggest disappointments has remained rather silent in 2012 regarding their upcoming games in development. We've even heard rumors that Prey 2 might be cancelled (please Bethesda, no!) and Doom 4 isn't likely to be released until the nex... Read More »

In what's likely to be a rematch between EA's Medal of Honor and Activision's Black Ops franchises, EA's still the only one who's entered the ring after releasing the intriguing announcement teaser to Medal of Honor: Warfighter last month. And damn, it looks good. That's probably because Warfighter will be armed with developer DICE's Frostbine 2 engine, the same one that mad... Read More »

Many fans of the original Lost Planet were upset with the amount of big changes made in the sequel. Capcom shifted the focus of their unique singleplayer experience on a frozen post-global warming planet to a squad-based shooter on the same planet where the snow had since melted to reveal a tropical environment. Despite its flaws and very poor storytelling elements, Lost Planet... Read More »

The latest Resident Evil game, Operation Raccoon City, has garnered very mixed reviews from both critics and fans. Those looking for the classic Resident Evil experience were upset to find the series with a modern tactical feel, while those who have begged Capcom to update the dated series were treated to a fun and one-of-a-kind multiplayer experience. Unlike most critics who d... Read More »

Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming free-to-play sequel, PlanetSide 2, looks to be officially bringing back the MMOFPS genre, but the creators behind the insanely popular, yet amazingly boring, EVE Online, seem to be taking the MMOFPS idea to the next level. In their first game developed since Eve, CCP Games will also be creating a free-to-play MMOFPS, but with the unique twis... Read More »

With FPS and MMORPGs becoming the most popular game genres in the world, it's surprising that we don't see more shooters mashed up with MMO elements that allow for larger scale battles than the standard max of around 8, 16, 32, or rarely 64 players that most popular shooters use. In 2003, Sony Online Entertainment released the massively popular MMOFPS PlanetSide, which allowed ... Read More »

The last trailer we saw for Max Payne 3 back in November showcased Rockstar's innovative new character movement animations and had us counting down the days until May 15, but still questioning how it was all going to work online with multiple players using bullet time abilities. Now, in their latest gameplay trailer, Rockstar is showing off how their new realistic animations wi... Read More »

The idea of merging the player creation and customization aspect of LittleBigPlanet with the ridiculously fun racing modes of Mario Kart has been something fans have wanted ever since the original LBP. Back in 2010, that idea came to a reality with the release of PlayStation 3's other exclusive, ModNation Racers. While MNR was amazing, it had nothing to do with LBP and failed t... Read More »

Star Wars: The Old Republic might not have turned out to be the first official World of Warcraft slayer (nothing besides Blizzard pulling the plug or the Internet exploding will ever kill WoW), but it was good enough to win our 2011 Game of the Year Award and most likely steal many players from Blizzard's MMO behemoth. In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Blizzard's John Lagra... Read More »

It looks like Call of Duty's annual release (most likely Black Ops 2) is once again going to have some "competition" from another modern shooter series using the stunning Frostbite 2 engine. After Electronic Arts' Battlefield 3 did about as well as another game could do against the sales juggernaut that is Call of Duty, the Medal of Honor series is tagging back in after getting...

I don't think I've ever seen so many different types of amazing trailers released for a game before its launch. Whether you just want a quick teaser or a look at the game's new co-op multiplayer or a visually stunning cinematic trailer, BioWare has you covered. Now with only four days left until the game hits store shelves, BioWare and EA have released the final trailer tha... Read More »

A lot of people are getting sick of the overuse of dubstep to score trailers, but I think everyone will agree that the use of 96.5% more wub wub in this Borderlands 2 trailer is pretty damn awesome and fits perfectly. The latest "Doomsday" trailer for the upcoming sequel to 2009's breakout hit finally shows off all four new characters during gameplay and teases a whole hell of ... Read More »

Inversion, not to be confused with a game based on the movie Inception, despite the weird gravity-defying visuals and heavy use of Inception's BRAAAAAAAAHMMs to score the trailer, is a pretty interesting concept. We got a chance to quickly check it out at E3 last year and were pleased by its Gears of War cover-and-shoot mechanics mixed with Infamous-like powers that allow playe... Read More »

The Mass Effect series has always had amazing trailers, and the latest epic cinematic launch trailer for Mass Effect 3 that just premiered during AMC's The Walking Dead is no exception. The newest trailer, entitled "Take Earth Back", is 90 seconds of amazing visuals that's going to make the next two weeks of waiting for ME3 feel like 90 years. Whenever there's an argument ov...
