The defining Real-Time Strategy game, Command & Conquer, is in the process of being rendered entirely in HTML5 for use on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Originally released in 1995, Westwood Studio’s epic game of strategic unit control and base-building ripped into the strategy gaming market with a vengeance. Since it’s inception, the C&C franchise has seen the release of nearly 20 sequels and spin-off games, fleshing out the universe’ lore as...
Atomic Aliens was a game I originally laughed at. It’s unpolished, it’s childish, and its over-the-top description led me to think it would be a total waste of both my time and a dollar. Boy was I wrong. Atomic Aliens is the first title from indie developer studio Touch Junky for iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. It’s a game set in the year 3012, a thousand years in the future where Atomic Aliens are attempting to destroy the universe. This all sounds fine and dandy, but...
Before you go wild with excitement and joy remember this is only a speculated rumor. According to a source Microsoft is planning to get rid of the current Microsoft Points system used for purchasing content across the variety of Microsoft’s digital store fronts.

This latest iteration, being from the PS1 era, remains my favourite version because nearly every single aspect has been modernized and beautified.

One of the most anticipated PlayStation Vita titles for 2012 is the music platformer Sound Shapes. It turns out PlayStation Vita owners might not be the only ones playing it this year. According to the game’s page on the PlayStation website, Sound Shapes is also coming to PlayStation 3. This could possibly be an error but if it is not, it makes total sense. Sound Shapes would look great on an HDTV and cloud saving could come into play here. The ability to...
In the video games industry, launching a new console is one of the trickiest things imaginable. To be honest, there really have been no outstanding console launches to date. What does a perfect console launch mean? It means that on the first day the console is out, all of the console’s major features are up and running, there are plenty of games with both quantity and quality mattering, the hardware is in good shape with little to no bugs or defects, and there is...
This video shows the difference in difficulty between “Normal” and “Insane” modes in Digital Reality’s new XBLA exclusive, Sine More.
Throughout its history, the console lifespan has been around five years.
