At last!  Something with massive polish that isn't Call of Duty or Battlefield! I don't know about everyone else but the appeal of modern warfare in shooters is entirely lost on me.  Perhaps it's the pure saturation point that it's reached, filling shelves and sites alike, or perhaps the waves of bad news regarding wars in the world, but contemporary shooters simply aren't to my tastes anymore.Â... more.

With Marvel's Fear Itself crossover now two issues in, it's time for DC's big 2011 event to start. If you read comics you know how awesome Geoff Johns is, and this first issue of Flashpoint definitely delivers the goods.

And in the swathes of zombie games that have been washing up on the shores of our stores, Iceberg Interactive and Headup Games came together to give us Trapped Dead.Set in 1982 this particular incarnation of the living dead feels very reminiscent of the older zombie fil... more.

This week the ninth Mortal Kombat game has hit stores and a whole new generation of gamers can be introduced to the gory fun that the series is known for. I've actually had some amusement seeing reviews from people who comment how they were either too young (or not even born yet) when the original three games hit arcades and consoles in the early 90s. It actually makes me feel a little old. I can ... more.

The original Portal was an interesting experiment with puzzle-based gameplay and a bonus in the Orange Box that became a huge hit.

Like the original, Portal is available on the more.

Massive comic crossovers are expected. It's now a summer tradition. Usually beginning in the late Spring, both Marvel and DC set up large universe-spanning crossovers that then set the stage for all the stories told for the remaining year.
