Watch the Resident Evil 5 producer interview

You’ve witnessed the new Resident Evil 5 trailer, but you’ll always have questions regarding the survival horror shooter. The next best thing is to watch this Jun Takeuchi interview about RE5’s new character and gameplay. Just who is Jun Takeuchi? If the titles Onimusha or Lost Planet mean anything to you, then you’ve seen the […]

Review: Mass Effect for the PC is one of the better ports

When one speaks of Bioware, the first thing that comes to mind are role-playing games. With critically-acclaimed titles such as Baldur’s Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Neverwinter Nights tucked under its belt, Bioware has truly established itself as one of the premiere RPG makers.
Mass Effect for the PC is the latest […]

Capcom sheds light on Resident Evil 5 release date

Remember the thrill you felt when you first heard about Resident Evil 5? At that time, GameCube owners were the only people enjoying Resident Evil 4, though the promise of a PlayStation 2 version was imminent. RE4 was critically acclaimed and with good reason; it was a reimagining of the franchise that had relied too […]

New MGO videos show how gameplay is like

Enjoying your access to the Metal Gear Online beta? I hope you are because the best we other mere mortals can do is drool at the sight of MGO videos. I’ve got a couple of new ones today. Watch them and be reminded of how excruciating it is to wait for June 12, the game’s […]

Kane & Lynch leaves a bad aftertaste

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is no stranger to controversy. Perhaps what would be remembered most about the third-person shooter is the chaos that it caused at GameSpot late last year. Then-executive editor Jeff Gerstmann came out with a very negative review of the game, which ended up being edited and its video review pulled […]

Kane & Lynch gets free DLC

Here’s something that could slip by your radar: Eidos said it will release four new downloadable maps for the Fragile Alliance multiplayer in Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Like anything I enjoy downloading, the DLC will be free on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Strangely, there was no mention if the free goodies would be […]

Army of Two is repetitive? What shooter isn’t?

I’ve never played Army of Two as of this writing, but Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw’s review gave me an idea on how the game plays out. Strangely, Croshaw sees homosexuality in almost every topic.

Now Playing: Kane & Lynch are dead to me

GameHopper sent me Kane & Lynch: Dead Men to play last weekend. Kane & Lynch? Isn’t that the game that got ex-editorial director Jeff Gerstmann booted from GameSpot? Yes it is, and frankly, I don’t see what the fuss is about.

Watch Altaïr fight Metal Gears

It’s not quite April Fool’s day on this side of the world, but I guess we can still consider it since the half is a day behind. Ever wondered how Altaïr of Assassin’s Creed would fare against the the no-place-to-hide battles of Metal Gear Solid 4? Wonder no more.

Dark Sector video review is out

I was feeling rather lazy to read the numerous Dark Sector reviews. Good thing GameTrailer’s video review is pretty much spot on.

New Gears of War update fixes crashing problem

So I finally installed Gears of War on my PC (for the umpteenth time). Now why would I want to do a thing like that when the game keeps crashing? Because there was an update released, and who knows? It just might get me past the point where the game always fails.
FYI, I’ve never managed […]

Uncharted is too safe, says Yahtzee

I like watching video reviews made by Ben Croshaw because it teaches me to be unflinchingly cynical when it comes to games. See how the British-born author deconstructs Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

Yes, I do like Uncharted for its shooting. There are no massive guns here, though I do find the action satisfying. But to say that […]
