Game Informer » Lords Of Shadow Could Be The First Great 3D Castlevania
It's no secret that the Castlevania series has thrived in its 2D incarnations, but stumbled when taking the step into the third dimension. While the latter titles weren't absolute trainwrecks by any description, they lacked a certain magic that…
Game Informer » Crysis 2 First Look
If you’re a console-based shooter fan, Crysis may be the best game from the past five years you never played. The unrelated follow-up to Crytek’s visually and technologically impressive Far Cry, the 2007 title and its spin-off Crysis: Warhead…
Games Radar » First look at Subversion (Subversion)
It’s beautiful. We already know this. For over a year now, Introversion – independent developers and our favourite curry buddies – have teased us with a series of gorgeous development videos for their next game, Subversion. The videos show…
Games Radar » First look at Test Drive Unlimited 2 (Test Drive Unlimited 2)
What do Sammy Davis Jr., Dom DeLuise, Sally Field and that guy from The Man with the Golden Gun have in common? They’ve all, in one movie or another, proved that a useless co-pilot is still ten times better…
Games Radar » New Lost in Shadow screens and impressions (Lost in Shadow)
Last night's Konami Gamers' Day offered us the chance to play a couple of levels from Hudson Soft's upcoming Wii platformer, Lost in Shadow, which was described as the "best shadow-action game." It's pretty easy to be the best thing-you-made-up-right-now, but humorous rhetorical fallacies…
Games Radar » Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes of the Ring first look (Lucha Libre AAA Heroes of the Ring)
The pro-wrestling genre these days is pretty dominated by the WWE SmackDown games, with little in the way of competition. A couple years back TNA Wrestling gave it shot, but thanks to its publisher closing and it not being…
Games Radar » First look at Skate 3 (Skate 3)
Typical. Skate 2 was so exhaustive, replayable and feature-packed, releasing a full-blown sequel only 16 months later was always going to look – on the surface, at least – needless and slightly cynical. But in EA’s defiantly fresh, fan-led…
Games Radar » 5 unique things about Red Dead Redemption’s multiplayer (Red Dead Redemption)
Red Dead Redemption, as you're well already well aware, is a Western. The game takes place over 100 years ago. Your weapon is a six-shooter, not a rocket launcher. You throw sticks of dynamite, not grenades. You ride a…
Games Radar » Splatterhouse paints the town red (Splatterhouse)
We’re used to playing killers in videogames (see: Kratos, Altair, Solid Snake), but there’s still something unsettling about Splatterhouse’s Rick. He’s a character who, for all intents and purposes, is Jason Voorhees: the notorious teen stabber and surprise hockey…
Games Radar » Hands on with Joe Danger (Joe Danger)
Despite the two wheels, the engine and the stopwatch, Joe Danger isn’t really a racing game. It’s been drawn with ultra crayons that make colours three shades too bright to look at, and every noise is a ‘pling’. We’re…
Games Radar » How StarCraft II will teach you to play competitively (StarCraft II)
Some of you will be lucky enough to be playing the StarCraft II beta. Many more of you will not. A good proportion of those forced to go without will be howling, denied access to the eagerly awaited sequel…
Games Radar » How The Witcher 2 intensifies everything (The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings)
“We know our limitations,” says Witcher 2’s senior producer, Tomek Gop. It’s a relief to hear it. For all the credit given to its superbly grubby, off-kilter fantasy, The Witcher was a prime example of ambition outstripping the ability…
