In anticipation for the upcoming Starcraft II beta, my roommate and I decided to buy the first one again digitally off the Blizzard Store. After figuring out strange work arounds to get the game to display correctly in Windows 7, we were once again stuck playing this 11 year old game for hours. Yesterday marked when Blizzard finally let people in to the highly anticipated sequel to what appears... 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.

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.

Since I brought you my Interview with Bill Roper last month, I taken advantage of my opportunity to bomb around inside the Champions Online beta. There are many things I have seen inside that I like, and some things I have not. I may be making an unfair judgment on the game though. After all, what I really want to see is an MMO that breaks the mold and gives us an experience we haven't seen before... more.

Bioware has released new screenshots for their upcoming game Dragon Age Origins, due out October 20th. With over 80 hours of gameplay and a world that's supposed to be twice as big as Mass Effect, I'm hoping to wipe out the badness left behind by Sacred 2: Fallen Angel.  As a Grey Warden who is betrayed in battle, your goal is to hunt down the general you once trusted and unite the people left in... more.

CGTalk has a 2 page article with plenty of in-game screens from the upcoming RPG/FPS game Borderlands, by Gearbox. Their visual goal was to maintain the look achieved in the concept art, which I think you'll all agree they did a great job with. It goes beyond the traditional cell-shader and has an almost hand drawn, painted quality to it. The game also offers a unique weapons drop system, where no... more.
