We complain that MMOs are getting narrower and smaller as time goes by, with terms like “themeparks” being thrown around without much affection. But there are still a lot of ways to enjoy yourself in pretty much every game under the sun and games that cater to a wide variety of playstyles on top of [...]

EVE Online developer CCP Games has announced a partnership with Epic Games China that will bring Unreal Engine 3 technology to their forthcoming console MMOFPS known as Dust 514.

Lately I am supremely enthused about my shaman. Fist weapons! Zapping things! Windfury! Turning that guy into a frog! That guy is totally a frog! Now he’s on fire!
The best thing about the enhancement shaman playstyle I’m working with (designed for five mans and the occasional 10 raid) is working out for myself how to [...]

Fast stolen cars, brutal gang warfare and a large city to explore and conquer — sounds like Grand Theft Auto, does it not? Actually, it’s Poisonville, a new browser-based 3D MMO where you’ll jump into a gangster’s shoes (it’s okay, the former owner totally didn’t need them) and join one of four gangs struggling to [...]

Microsoft is here at GDC showing off its upcoming Game Room service, and we got it on video just for you. The experience is probably exactly what you expected, but it’s worth noting that while the service does utilize Avatars, you don’t actually walk around the virtual arcade as your Avatar. Instead, the arcade [...]

During its GDC press conference, Sony announced that the PlayStation motion controller — newly dubbed PlayStation Move — will launch in several different packages to accommodate the various gamers out there.

The indie game scene is not only getting bigger it’s also getting more incestuous. Witness today’s announcement of the new developer Tomorrow Corporation. Besides having a cool name and retro logo, the new company was co-founded by Kyle Gabler, who also is the co-founder of the two man team at 2D Boy, makers of the [...]

Today is the second day of Steam’s big week long sale of games from Square Enix and their Eidos brand.

We all love stuff for free and today players of Mass Effect 2 got something for nothing with a new weapon that players of BioWare’s hit sci-fi RPG can download on the game’s Cerberus Network. If you love weapons like Quake’s lightning gun you might enjoy the new Arc Projector.
The new handheld weapon can not [...]

Nothing says, “We’re at a serious gaming event where developers tell us about their innovations and upcoming creations,” like a papercraft Wario from WarioWare D.I.Y. And nothing says, “Hey, we’re about to write a bunch of news stories about all that stuff,” like posting a photograph of a papercraft Wario from the Game Developer’s Conference [...]

Sure, Ferraris are fun and all, but they aren’t exotic enough. EA’s looking to increase Need For Speed: Shift’s roster of wacky, expensive rides you’ll probably never drive in real life through the Exotic Racing Series Pack. Available March 18 for 800 ($10) on Xbox Live and PSN, the Exotic Racing Series Pack parks seven [...]
