With the extreme level of popularity of Texas Hold'Em that has only continued to rise over the past few years, it is never a surprise to learn of an upcoming release of yet another medium for this game. What is unique, however, is seeing a version coming to a major console as well as a handheld. Read More.
At E3 2006, I had the chance to talk to publishers Red Mile Entertainment about their highly anticipated upcoming release El Matador. One thing is certain; the build they were showing looks promising. Read More.
In a surprising twist to the classic flight simulator genre, 1C Company has shown us a new game that will broaden the horizons in this market: a helicopter simulation. Instead of flying the usual assortment of airplanes, players will now pilot the popular Huey from the Vietnam era. Read More.
Well, that's almost true. The truth is that this game is set in 1950, which is very soon after World War II and almost too close for comfort. The market for that genre of shooter is definitely saturated. The good news then is that this game will not have any basis on the war, although it may still remind players of those types of games.

It seems like I'm saying this a lot lately, but is just that I have a hard time seeing how many more "improvements" can be made to a game based entirely on the theme of skateboarding. Now don't get me wrong, I fell in love with the Tony Hawk series long ago and say it through many early titles which definitely brought major changes to the gameplay to bring it to where it is today.

Life in the 22nd century Valkyria isn't exactly as we know it today; technology has evolved and humans have begun to integrate a system of implants into their bodies to enhance their physical abilities. Big corporations have slowly hidden the truth, made the lies become a reality. Read More.
The future offers some promising developments for the planet Earth; crime has been all but eliminated, safety is a number one priority for its citizens. However, no one could have predicted that the downside of a world without crime would be extreme boredom. To remedy this, a television network has decided to let criminals control small armies of thralls, or gladiators, in tactical battle arenas for entertainment purposes and cash prizes. Read More.
Think way back 1994, seems like an awful time ago. Although extremely difficult due to the changing nature of the industry, think of a game that stood out for two main reasons. First, it was an all-around great title that ran on the now extremely obsolete computers of the day, and second, because it was (and still is) a rare genre on the PC. Read More.
