As a long running trend in the Pokemon series, the two games often vary in content albeit only slightly. Pokemon Silver saw the return of Lugia, whilst its counterpart Pokemon Gold saw Ho-oh return to the shit to rip shit up. Well the batton has been passed onto the newest series spawns: Pokemon Black and Pokemon White…

I’ve never played the King’s Quest games, but I have of course heard of the property. Apparently they were beloved by many, until installment number eight, which was released to mixed reviews and ended up being the final game in the series, until now. God, I love the fans. Fans of everything. Because they get [...]

Despite the fact that I jump whenever someone says “boo”, I’m really looking forward to Dead Space 2. Visceral’s third-person space shooter is looking like a great sequel to one of 2008′s most popular games, and for a shooter, it has a rather gripping story behind it. Visceral and EA are looking to extend this story with the downloadable prequel Dead Space Ignition.

It’s been a while since I bought an Xbox Live Arcade game, mostly because I’m too lazy to punch in my credit card number into the Xbox, much less get up, go to the store, and get a points card. (Ugh, playing games is hard!) Regardless of my apathy, I’ll probably be buying at least five Xbox Live Arcade games this summer, thanks to Microsoft’s XBL Summer of Arcade event.

Many people didn’t know this (present company included) but in the late 90s, Blizzard was working on an adventure game based on Warcraft, but with the style of Monkey Island. Unfortunately, this project was scrapped in 1998 when Blizzard didn’t think they could meet any deadlines or compete with Monkey Island III.

Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64 was an absolute treasure as far as retro(ish) FPSes go, so when the XBLA remake, complete with online multiplayer and improved visuals, was announced, it was a no-brainer pickup. And if the reviews didn’t convince you that you should pluck down $10 on the remake, then maybe this neat easter egg will.

Next March, Heavy Rain will be dropping in Special Edition form, alongside the long-awaited The Taxidermist DLC. With this special edition comes Move support for the game, and it’s precisely because of Move that we will never see Heavy Rain DLC again after The Taxidermist drops.

Having not heard anything about the film, and learning of the film’s budget issues, we all assumed that the Bioshock movie was no more- but it looks like Gore Verbinski has no hopes of letting this project slip out of his hands because of a silly issue like “money”.

If you’ve signed up for the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta via your Battle.net account recently, then check your email! You could have an invite to join the closed beta, as it began today. Don’t be upset if you don’t get an invite today, though- Blizzard will most likely be rolling out more and more invites as time goes on, just like they did with the Starcraft II beta.

Ripten takes a look at Telltale’s latest point-and-click mystery series. Telltale says the game is influenced by the Professor Layton series- but is it as good?

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition was a huge success, and the sequel, LeChuck’s Revenge, is not only regarded as the best game in the Monkey Island series, but it’s also getting lots of new features for it’s own upcoming special edition.

On one hand, I could tell you about this interactive Twilight: Eclipse game based on the movie, and explain that it’s actually a really neat use of YouTube’s interactive annotations feature. On the other hand, I could turn a blind eye to it, scoff and say “Twilight is for dumb eleven year old girls.” Dilemma!

As one of their most popular series since the Wii launched, Ubisoft be crazy not to release a new Rabbids game this fall, around the time that kids will start to compile their wish lists for Santa. We’ve all seen the cute trailer for the game, but thanks to a press release from Ubisoft, we now we have some solid details about the gameplay itself.

Looking forward to the October release of Enslaved? Well now you can get even more excited with the US and Canadian pre-order bonuses. Read on for more.
