By Mike Fahey All of these similarities are simply coincidence though, as the folks at Obsidian - who have worked closely with BioWare in the past - assured me that they had started work on Alpha Protocol before Mass Effect was being developed. Whatever the case may be, AP looks like it is shaping up nicel...

By RawmeatCowboy All Nintendo fans pretty much know how the Big N’s sports titles work by now. You can a real sport, strip down the simulation elements until you are left with the basic game, throw in a ton of Nintendo references, and you are set. We’ve already seen Mario and friends take on baseball, but this ti...

By narcogen On Tuesday Microsoft told Bungie they wouldn't be allowed to do that, either, and since Microsoft is Bungie's publisher for Halo games, and Microsoft owns the Halo intellectual property, and the announcement concerned Halo, Bungie had to do what Microsoft says, prompting Bungie pres...

In the Wii edition, players can pick one of four band roles - frontman, guitar, drums and bass - and simulate the instrument of choice through what's essentially a...

By Mike Fahey The drums at first look pretty much the same, but when you start adding on expansions they shin. The cymbals in the Rock Band 2 drum set are add-ons that can be taken off or added as you please. What's more, you can unplug the controller from the drum heads and plug in an add-on that turns your RB2 d...

But I really wish it worked better in the first place and, even more so, that I didn't need to explain to my in-laws why their brand new console is already...

By Owen Good The Megamanathon will likely last into Sunday, Willingham said. They started with original Mega Man, and have been drawing titles out of a hat at random.

By Nicod3mus Overall - Age of Conan may be the first 3rd generation MMORPG to get the model right. Many have come and many have failed.

By Luke Plunkett It Works: Yes. Civilization on a console works. Nearly everything about the game – from controls to tech tree progression to unit and building production has seen radical changes (more on that to come), but at its heart, this is still Civilization. It still feels like Civilization, it still...
