The new Battleship game, licensed for the new Battleship movie, made roughly about the old Battleship board game, looks cool. In this new trailer we are given a glimpse to a really neat gameplay mechanic. During Battleship there will actually be two wars being fought, one on land and one at sea. While you rage on as a gun toting foot soldier you can stop and take command of the battleships to assist you or destroy the alien ships surrounding the island. It seems like a cool...

Arrowhead Games Studio (Magicka,) along with publisher Paradox Interactive, are currently working on a new game entitled The Showdown Effect. Taking influence from games such as SolDat, Megaman X, and Super Smash Bros., we can expect a 2.5D platform-based fighter with an 80’s action hero style, fighting other players in various arenas with an assortment of weaponry, and skinnable characters to add flair. With classic modes like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and the new...
Since the launch of Apple’s iOS App Store in 2008, many small companies have created extremely successful services and games. Perhaps the biggest success came from a once small company named Rovio who brought us Angry Birds. Due to its addictive gameplay and memorable characters, Angry Birds has become one of the most popular games of the last three years. Angry Birds is the Pac-Man of this generation. Everything from toys to t-shirts have been made from the...

The bond was struck and the test of might began between all the most powerful wizards in the world, who would become the Warlock? Nothing less...
Cyberpunk? Dystopian future? Evil corporate supersoldier? SIGN ME UP. Syndicate sounded like it had everything I wanted. Like Deus Ex, only crazy, evil, and immoral. I fired it up, ready to inflict some serious financial losses on my corporate foes; oh how they would pay for being foolish enough to cross whoever I worked for! Looking back, I can’t help but laugh at my naivete. You begin the game inadequately strapped to a chair. I say “inadequately” because...
Serious Sam 3 takes the series back to the styling and gameplay of the original. (A good thing, if you ask me. I didn’t like the cartoony style of the second one.) Despite the name, however, “serious” the game is not. Sam Stone consistently delivers so-bad-they’re-good one-liners throughout the game. Characters and dialogue are hyper-stereotypical and ultra-macho to the point of parody. (I hope it was intentionally humourous anyway…) Enemies...
War of the Roses, a multiplayer action game published by leading strategists Paradox Interactive, is currently under development and slated to be released in the third quarter of this year. On the surface the game seems to be somewhat similar to Mount & Blade, though with notable exceptions: Your control of a knight, rather than a commander, being the first and formost difference between the two games; the greater focus on multiplay being a close runner-up. In fact...
