But now we’ve actually seen an early build of the game, and we can tell you how hexy it is. That’s right, forget about old Civilization games which only had four cardinal directions to choose from when moving your units; this installment...

Nothing says, “We’re at a serious gaming event where developers tell us about their innovations and upcoming creations,” like a papercraft Wario from WarioWare D.I.Y. And nothing says, “Hey, we’re about to write a bunch of news stories about all that stuff,” like posting a photograph of a papercraft Wario from the Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco. We’ll be here all week putting our...

Those big dudes are shooting their big guns at gigantic Akrid and sometimes manning big mechs too. Everything about Lost... 

It’s debatable whether or not the server crashing this past week was a symptom of Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s success. What isn’t debatable is the game’s explosive debut on the UK’s Chart-Track all-formats chart . The multiplayer-centric shooter, which we’ve been thoroughly enjoying , outsold the original Bad Company ’s launch week numbers almost 3 to 1. According to Chart-Track, BC2 is the “best...

Earlier today, our tips inbox and the official Assassin ’s Creed 2 forum were set ablaze by incensed owners of the PC version of the aforementioned Italian revenge epic.

Of course, the folks aboard the dirigibles will probably arrive a few weeks late, because airships outside of the Final Fantasy canon are awfully slow. Except, of course, for the one Balloon Boy almost made his maiden voyage in. Then again, we suppose its top speed... 

We know that some of you are less than excited about the return of vehicular gameplay to the Mass Effect franchise — we still have vivid nightmares about our time behind the wheel of the Mako from the original game.

Following last week’s killer deal on Batman: Arkham Asylum , Games for Windows on Demand continues its series of game sales with Street Fighter IV .
