As someone who occasionally checks out Formula One highlights on Sportscentre, I'm usually looking for footage of a crazy wreck, because as the great George Carlin once said; "Where else am I going to see a 20 care pileup and not be involved in it?" What George didn't know however, is that now you can get involved in your own 20 car Formula One pile ups in the comfort of your own home. Read More.
The creators of Doom and Quake, id software, are back with their first developed game in more than half a decade. After creating a PC benchmarking tool with Doom 3 in 2004, id returns to the stage with their first ever open world title, RAGE. Does their new combination of first person shooting, role playing elements, exploration, and racing make a fitting continuation of id's legacy as a premier developer, or will simply cause gamers to enter their own white-hot rage?

I don't know if it's a good thing that Star Fox 64 is coming to the 3DS. Almost by default, it's already the second or third best game available for the fledgling system. Along with Ocarina of Time, when two of the best games in your library are re-releases of nearly 15 year old N64 games, its time to take a good hard look at your game library and really wonder why people should invest in your system.

A confession before I get into this review. I'm not a huge football fan. I'm well versed in the rules, and I'm a playoff supporter of the Baltimore Ravens, but I could name more people that live in my neighbourhood than I could total NFL players. One thing I do know, however, is video games. Read More.
Garcia F****** Hotspur, the protagonist behind Shadows of the Damned, is something of a unique specimen amongst video game characters, and not just because he has an expletive as a middle name. Hotspur is a hispanic, purple jacket wearing, vulgar-mouthed demon hunter whose girlfriend has been taken down into a bizarre underworld filled with weird logic and an army of demons that wants to kill him dead.

As a gamer of almost 25 years now, I'm used to games kicking my ass. Playing in the NES era, some games were so hard that I have yet to beat them to this day. But I have never had my ass kicked quite like THQ's new contender for the video game fitness crown, UFC Personal Trainer. Read More.

I'll say it right now. I'm a fan of EA's recent infatuation with classic literature. While their titles based on classic works like Alice in Wonderland or Dante's Inferno may not be the most original games in the world gameplay wise, the mere fact that they're thinking outside the box for their newest titles shows ambition and a fresh attitude towards making games can only be good for the industry.

Anyone who has ever gotten into a Need for Speed title knows what the franchise is all about. It's about going fast in exotic cars with nary a thought given to realistic physics. This formula has done the franchise proud for years, and culminated in last year's Hot Pursuit remake. Read More.
Team based shooters on a console are at a bit of a premium these days. Ignoring team deathmatch games like Call of Duty, which are a dime a dozen, great co-op and versus online shooter experiences are rather limited. In fact, you pretty much have Valve's Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead to get a great objective based multiplayer experience these days. Read More.
If you're like me and were born into the '80s and grew up in the '90s, there was no forbidden fruit in the world of gaming more tantalising than the gleefully gruesome Mortal Kombat series. I was never really allowed to play the game as a child, you know, with the responsible parenting thing that more gamer parents should look into, but I always found a way to get my spine ripping fix in the arcades or at a friend's house.

In my youth, I could not be pulled away from Monday Night RAW. Yes, I'm one of those geeks that found myself riveted by the soap opera dramatics and high flying athletics that were present in every wrestling event. In recent years, my interest in the "sport" has waned somewhat, but I will always have a soft spot for the glory days of Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Yokozuna, Hulk Hogan and even Mr. Read More.
Call me a sucker for the frightening, the macabre, the disturbing. Just don't say I have bad taste in gaming, because the original Dead Space was one of the freshest and most terrifying games I've ever had the privilege of playing. Now, two years later, the sequel is finally here. Read More.
