Geoff Keighley tweeted out that he spoke to Kojima Production's Senior Producer Ken-ichiro Imaizumi and he had denied the news. Slice that rumor: No Metal Gear Rising 2 tease at Taipei games show Spoke to @Ken1555 from @Kojima_Pro_Live, it is not true. — Geoff Keighley (@geoffkeighley) February 1, 2015 For what it's worth, I don't fully believe this[...]

It's game day as the Seahawks and Patriots are set to go at it for SuperBowl XLIX down in Phoenix. That means a few things. Overblown adverts, lots of

Portal 2, for me, is one of the finest video games of the last 10 years It blends razor sharp wits, genius puzzling and a legendary environment into one silky package I really can't get enough of that world. I think we are quite some way away from Portal 3, mind you That's if it ever[...]

While I never played it to completion, the blistering pace of Metal Gear Rising always struck me. It was nothing like the slower paced main series that

That isn't odd in and of itself as most AAA games have a companion app nowadays What's weird is that it's a Bejewelled type game Players try to match coloured symbols and that then translates into attacks on a monster. You can see it in action in this trailer released by publisher 2K Games. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCeb-aagqg8[/youtube] Playing this game[...]

Octodad as a concept is really smart. To me it's all a big metaphor about how people have to 'pretend' to be adults and fit roles, only it's played out

I stated earlier today that Apotheon is one of PlayStation Plus' free games this month, but that I didn't know much about it Something about greek gods and the like, but that was about it. Well, developer Alien Trap Games have now swooped in to clarify the title This trailer shows the platformer takes place in a[...]

They haven't shown any real understanding of the power of the platform yet, instead choosing to call in copyright strikes on content featuring their games It's entirely their right, but also entirely short sighted by my estimation. This week, Nintendo started a 'shared' ad-revenue program that would entitle YouTubers 60% of the ad revenue from content[...]

Overwatch is a bit of an oddity by Blizzard. It doesn't really 'feel' like it's a Blizzard game, but the concept is pretty cool. The arena shooter

Watching as he stumbles his way through understanding video games and its culture is a cute little bit. This new episode raised the stakes though In honor of the upcoming Superbowl, he invited notoriously media shy Seattle Seahawk Marshawn Lynch and New England Patriot Rob Gronkowski to sit down and play a game with him[...]

I reported two days ago that Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is coming to Xbox Live for free in February and, conversely, we now know what what PlayStation

We already have 13 Mortal Kombat X characters confirmed, and that number is rising. They're coming fast and furiously and I can't imagine it will be long

The date was announced today and the trial will run until the 8th. There will be three maps and modes included in the beta as outlined on the game's website. The beta features Conquest on the map Dust Bowl, the brand new Hotwire mode on the maps Downtown and Dust Bowl and another new mode Heist on[...]

I was in the room when Star Wars: Battlefront was announced at E3 2013. The teaser trailer was just 32 seconds long, but it was for sure exciting. Since

One of the big complaints I've heard around the community about Evolve, besides the absurd DLC options available, is the question of the longevity and the

In a few years, I'm pretty sure TT Games will have monopolized just about every brand into a 'Legofied' game It can't be long now until a Lego Street Sharks or Lego Birdman games get their own releases. Today though, a few safer bets have been made Lego Jurassic Park and Lego Marvel's Avengers games have been[...]

It's no secret that the main games in the Resident Evil series are in a bit of a mess Resident Evil 5 and 6 really lead the franchise astray from its roots A focus on action has muddled the franchise's iconic voice, which lead to Resident Evil 6 in particular being a very jumbled affair[...]

People have made some stunning things in Minecraft. The game has acted as a canvas for life sized models of all manner of things, from Starships to

Quantic Dream are known for their overly 'cinematic' games, melding classic film techniques with adventure game style choice It's an acquired taste and one that hasn't quite sat well with me in a while. The last time I did really enjoy a title from the studio was Fahrenheit, or Indigo Prophecy if you're in the States[...]

Players try and find new exploits that will vastly improve their time, sometimes turning ten hour games into less than one hour experiences While most speed runners come from a place of love for a game, it must be tough for creators to watch their game exploited by glitches that shouldn't exist. We can now see that[...]

Free games are always a good thing, so it's exciting that both PlayStation and Xbox offer worthwhile titles free every month It's a nice gesture of appreciation and it means you can actually build a pretty great library over the course of a year at no cost. Xbox Wire announced the three games coming to Games[...]

I played the Evolve Beta quite a bit last week when it was live. Turtle Rock are doing a good job of learning the right balance for the game to make sure

Ken Levine is one of the west's most iconic game developers having created Bioshock and System Shock 2. That's why there is always an extreme interest in

For a guy who has said he doesn't really play video games, Conan O'Brien sure does talk about them a lot From the segments of him playing games for the first time to him now appearing in quite a few, he has become an honorary part of gaming culture. What he was planning for one episode[...]

Gamestar reported (translated by NeoGAF) that when they went to see the game, the Xbox version was only running at 900p When they asked the developer if the game would be running at full resolution on release, CD Project RED said they are trying, but they couldn't promise it. The emphasis on resolution, especially for just[...]

Gamespot reported that during last night EA confrence call, the publisher's CFO  Blake Jorgensen said: In particular, Dragon Age: Inquisition had by far the most successful launch in BioWare's history, exceeding our expectations In addition, game sales for last-generation consoles were also much stronger than we had anticipated When compared to Mass Effect, Dragon Age has always[...]

Grim Fandango has a dedicated following that I've never been able to get into join. That was largely down to the game's scarcity more than anything. I've

Maybe it is was my love for Jurassic Park, but Reptile was always my favorite Mortal Kombat character when I was younger. The idea of a lizard-come-Sub

It's important for the games media to have a several major outlets On one hand it creates competition to drive better work On the other, each site is different from the last, bringing a new flavour to the reportage realm. That is why I'm saddened by the news that Joystiq look like they may be on[...]

Dying Light is making some worrying movements coming into its launch. The game is out today, but didn't get into many websites', YouTubers' or streamers'
