  • Opinion: Square Controller Squarepants: The Capacitive Touch-Sensing NES Controller

  • Opinion: The Expendables 2 Videogame, Reviewed

    I’m a sucker for a good action movie, even more so when it’s filled with my favorite stars. That’s why I enjoyed the first Expendables film more than I probably should have. I let it off easy with “well, it’s supposed to be over the top”, as if that somehow excuses it from needing substance. Despite all that, I still pass it off as something that I enjoy. I will do no such thing with The Expendables 2 game for PlayStation 3.

  • Opinion: Big-Budget Consoles Beware, the Ouya Is Coming in Strong

    Watch out, world; here comes the Ouya. A little less than a month ago, the Ouya exploded onto the Kickstarter scene and into the hearts of the public. Promising an open-source, hackable experience for a double-digit pittance, the Ouya seemed almost too good to be true. However, judging from recent developments, it looks like the Ouya may indeed be able to deliver. (We hope.)

  • Opinion: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Characters and Levels Leak From Closed Beta

    It isn't unusual to see characters and secrets leak ahead of a game's release, but what we've seen leak from PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has been exceptional. It's almost to the point where we know more from the leaks than we do from official announcements, and that's why we're going to break down what we know and what it means for the game as we approach release.

Today’s final entry will focus on the strongest area of the original Guild Wars: Player vs. Player combat.

  • Opinion: Is That an Elf in My Steampunk? City of Steam Is an Unusual MMORPG

    City of Steam is an upcoming free-to-play MMORPG set in a steampunk fantasy world that mixes grimy industrial settings with elves, goblins, and, literally, "go into the sewers and kill ten rats" quests. Cash shop plans are in the works for, at this writing, a shop of cosmetic or utility items; the designer I spoke to insisted they are opposed to 'pay to win'). City of Steam is currently in an Alpha state, so this preview is based on my experiences with a very early version of the game, including both a developer-lead guided tour and some free range playing during an alpha weekend.

  • Opinion: Need for Speed World Celebrates Second Anniversary With Double XP and New Features

    I’m a big fan of racing games, almost to an obsessive level. I attempt to play every single racing game that is released, and that includes all those NickToon racing games. It probably had something to do with all the amazing racing titles on the N64, and my obsession with those when they were released. I mention my history only so you understand how surprising it was to realize that I had never touched Need for Speed World, which is celebrating its two year anniversary today. To make up for my mistake I hopped online with some other racers and took a look at all the new features.

  • Opinion: Battlefield 3: Armored Kill Brings All-Out Vehicle Warfare in September

    Back when EA announced Battlefield Premium at E3 this year, I wasn't sold. It wasn't that I didn't think it was a good idea, because it is, but the content didn't seem there. They showed Battlefield 3: Close Quarters, which we had already seen back at GDC, and everything else was still classified. It didn't make much sense, and I left less interested than ever. That feeling has stuck with me until this week, when we got our first full look at gameplay of the next Battlefield 3 DLC release Armored Kill.

  • Opinion: Free Game Friday: A Gentleman Robot and a Hungry Hungry Snake

    This week’s free game round up has two new twists on old favorites and a steam-powered robot in a top hat. That last one doesn’t really mesh with the first two, but I couldn’t bring myself to pass up a steam-powered robot in a top hat.
