More than a year after the release of Skyrim, the game is still going strong. It’s one of my favorite games at any rate. So, of course I gladly accept an excuse to stay up until the wee hours of the morning being the Dovahkiin. Initially, I played Skyrim on the PS3, including all the […]

So much for the next generation of consoles not being about horsepower. For all the speculation about whether the next PlayStation or Xbox would focus strictly on social gaming, gesture-based controls and casual titles, skipping the beefy processing and graphical specs that have carried us for the past two outings, Sony promptly kicked the speculators

Rockstar Games today unveiled the release date for Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V), which is sweet news to millions of gamers’ ears. Unless you own a Nintendo Wii U, in which case you’re out of luck, as Rockstar did not announce a Wii U version in development. Rockstar failed to unveil whether GTA V

When the original Kinect released, people did all sorts of crazy stunts with it, including restructuring the hardware and turning it into a sort of 3D projector. Microsoft’s Research

Every now and then a piece of entertainment comes along to remind you that you’re not a kid anymore. I recently got that reminder from Ratchet and Clank: Full Frontal Assault.

The Assassin’s Creed franchise has mystified me (and millions of other gamers) since I first saw it behind closed white doors at E3 2007. Since that time, when its time-bending plot first caused a massive stir, we’ve become accustomed to the series transporting players into new periods and new environments. In this case, that new

It’s very nice to have the Master Chief back where he belongs in the Halosphere. The past few entries with Bungie at the helm have dabbled with other Spartan and Helljumping characters, but with 343 Industries now steering the ship, Halo 4 brings the franchise back where it began: Master Chief and Cortana battling to
