Anyone who listened to last week's Mass Effect 2 filled podcast knows how much one of my podcast cohorts, Arsen Nazaryan, loves scanning and gathering minerals in the game. This mundane activity in Mass Effect 2 normally makes me feel a need to put the TV tuner card in my PC to good use, but YouTube user Kabuto the Python took it as inspiration for a song. A pretty good one at that. Definitely wor... more.

It seems the $50 million Microsoft payed to Rockstar to have Grand Theft Auto 4's DLC exclusively was indeed part of a timed deal. The controversial developer announced that GTA: Episodes From Liberty City will be coming to the other two platforms the base game was available for on March 30th. The expansions will be sold in much the same way that they were on the 360, both on disc and digital down... more.

As you'll hear from our most recent podcast (where Jon, Matthew, and I vehemently show our support for the game), there's a ton of excitement over Mass Effect 2. Why is that? Because Bioware is an excellent development studio and Mass Effect was the epitome of a shooter-RPG gaming experience. Now we have the chance to do it all over again through two disks instead of one?

In 2010 an all-new Medal of Honor game will be introduced to the already popular franchise, but this time will take place in Afghanistan. The game will introduce the Tier 1 Operator "a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle." In order to create the most authentic modern war experience, the development team ... more.

I don't think that ever, in my 20-year video game history, have I buckled into a suit of armor and fired madly into a swarm of rampaging golden-tailed marmasets. Why is this? Because marmasets are cute, and no developer would condone such a heartless act. Yet. When it comes time to holding your own against rampaging creatures, it always seems to be bugs. The biggest titles to come to mind just ... more.

Six years ago, Lucasarts and Bioware came together to bring us Knights of the Old Republic, a Star Wars game that shined light on events that happened millennia before the movies took place. Through a rich story and stunning details, KotOR earned its way into the hearts of Star Wars fans everywhere, spawned a less successful sequel and now a highly-anticipated MMO. Much of the game's success can b... more.

Yeah, you wish. While Raven has ignored the fans clamoring for another installment in this series, the Jedi Knight franchise lies in a smoldering heap on the ground. Good Star Wars games have been few and far between since the release of Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy over six years ago. We all want something new while we eagerly anticipate the eventual release of the MMO, The Old Republic. It has se... more.
