Remember how awesome God of War III looks? If not, play along for a second. Here’s some footage of the game- and it’s not just a trailer. It’s game play footage, the best kind of footage there is (at least in the videogame world). There’s not much else to say, but there is plenty more [...]

Warrior Epic is the first RPG to reward players for letting their created characters die.  Having your created character bite the dust brings one of two benefits: you can either infuse the dead character’s soul into a weapon or one of your living characters can carry their spirit and use it as a powerful spell. [...]

Above is the first footage of Bioshock 2 to hit the airwaves. The footage shows the player as a Big Daddy, with both the rivet gun and the drill, as well as plasmids. Big Sister is shown, as well as the ability to walk around underwater (you are in a diving suit, after all), but [...]

The above slide, noticed by GameSpot, was displayed by THQ at an investor’s meeting in February. As you can see, it makes mention of sequels in plenty of franchises, notably Saints Row 3 and Red Faction 4, as well as info on the release of a Warhammer 40,000 MMO in fiscal 2012 (April 1, 2011- [...]

Hey, Jonathan Zungre here, reporting to you (not so) Live from GDC 09 and I’ve got two games that you may not know about but you really should. Mount and Blade and Majesty 2 are two games that really need to be on your gaming radar. Listen to my video preview so I can tell [...]

The above video shows leaked footage of the much-anticipated God of War 3. It;s not just a trailer this time, though; it’s gameplay footage. Nothing spectacular, but gameplay footage nonetheless. The video shows Kratos fighting some enemies, and then fighting a bigger enemy by bashing it’s head for about thirty seconds. Supposedly the game runs [...]

Some people love the Monster Hunter series, me being one of those people.  I am always looking for info on the new Wii title Monster Hunter Tri and luckily Capcom delivers.

Another highly stellar week of new game releases with the likes of Left 4 Dead, Need for Speed: Undercover, Shaun White Snowboarding, Animal Crossing: City Folk, and the surprisingly well-reviewed Last Remnant for the Xbox 360. What are you guys thinking about picking up?  Is there something I failed to mention that you’re excited for? [...]

Far too often I find myself looking forward to the next big game instead of enjoying what I have now. I read exclusive first looks at games, follow their development for two years or so while fantasizing about how truly epic it will be when I finally get to play them, and then they release. [...]

The Ripten BlizzCon 08 team got their hands on Diablo 3 not long ago, and spent a decent chunk of time checking out the new Wizard class. One of the first things that they dove into was the talent tree. It should probably be noted that video cameras and photographs were strictly prohibited for both [...]

BlizzCon 08′s opening ceremony revealed the third of five Diablo 3 classes — the Wizard. Get a first glimpse of the sultry female as she hurls lighting, fire, and icy gobs of destruction at her would be enemies.

Controversy is brewing over poll results featured in a What They Play article featured earlier this month. The poll, published in a story titled “Parent’s More Concerned About Video Games than Alcohol or Pornography” generated significant attention from the video game media as well as mainstream news outlets. Representatives from What They Play told Ripten.com [...]

Everybody loves a Chocobo, and what better way to show it than by restoring memories to the inhabitants of Lostime with the help of Raffaello, a boy who fell from the sky and hatched from an egg? Dungeon crawling isn’t a new experience for Chocobo, but Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon offers some twists that [...]
