Gears of War 3-- Marcus Fenix

This year seems to be a very popular year for video games and the fact that so many games are being released it is hard to argue that point. However, it is not just about the quantity but more importantly the quality. One of the biggest and most anticipated releases for this year is Gears of War 3. Since its original release date was set back in the spring of 2011 many people are just itching to get their hands on it. That being said, I decided I would do a little recap on [...]

I am having a hard time containing my excitement about Polish developer Flying Wild Hogs new game Hard Reset.

Currently there are a limited source of screenshots, one game play trailer, and one teaser trailer [...]

The newly released trailer for Rage gives gamers an in depth look into the post-apocalyptic shooters amazing details and game play.

I found this to not only be incredibly true, but a great definition of where Rage is going to take gamers.

Rage immerses gamers into a post-apocalyptic world overrun by war and conflicting factions. The details of the game paint the world as a society with futuristic technology that has [...]

I have been consistently playing Shangri La, and I still havent mastered the maps tricks and Easter eggs. This being said, I might have to put my efforts on the Shangri La map on hold for the new Rezurrection downloadable content package.

Rezurrection is a collection of the four original zombie maps from World at War, Nacht der Untoten. Verruckt. Shi No Numa. and Der Riese, plus an [...]

It is nearly impossible to predict where the gaming industry is headed in the next ten years, let alone the next couple. Advancements that astonish the industry seem to get released every year, changing the way we play, and the way in which games are made.

Euclideon, an Australia based tech company, is developing a new way to map and design fully functioning game graphics. The traditional method includes building maps out of a large series polygons, which make the 3-D gaming environment. Euclideon, however, has found a way to convert polygons into point cloud data.

Sony has recently bought the game developer Sucker Punch, who is behind the hit game inFamous. Sucker Punch, an independent studio has been consistently involved with game projects for Sony over the past ten years.

They achieved early success with Sly Cooper, and the subsequent franchise that ensued for the Playstation 2 and Playstation 3. After passing the control of Sly Copper to Sanzaru Games, they dedicated their time [...]

Hey gamers! So with the end of summer approaching we cant blame you if you are trying to squeeze in as many hours of game time as possible. School can really get in the way of prestige mode and accordingly you are trying to game as hard as you can before the inevitable beginning of school.

So, I can understand the sentiment of non-stop gaming before homework and studying starts to eat up more time than the [...]
