With its mountain of applications (many of which are games), the iphone and ipod touch are sorely in need of a killer app. While largely based on one's interests (you love the showtime series "Dexter", and don't mind simulated murder), its none the less one of the more graphics heavy games to come to the platform. Icarus studio's plans to release the first installement of the episodic iphone game

So its official. Kane is back to cause mayhem and weather you root for peace through power or love raining death from above via orca gun ships, its going to be one hell of a ride. Make one wonder when Generals will get the go ahead to see the light of day rather then be stomped on in a march of endless sequels. But it's Kane so the theatrics should be good if nothing else. Check out the trailer

Bioware's upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins has finally clarified its stance on sexual encounters and how the game will be rated when it hits your local retail shelves. In keeping with the tradition of implied sexual encounters, the game will minus a pair of demon breasts not feature nudity beyond what was seen in mass effect. So the game appears to be good for any over protective parent or rating

In an effort to expand beyond the game rental business, Gamefly has launched the Ponged.com. The aim of the site is supply free to play flash games to the masses. Before writing off the venture as a has bins paradise of mediocrity, Gamefly goes out of its way to assure us that the "hard core" crowd is doing all the vetting work. So does this mean games like Peggle will be sadly lacking or does

While it appears to be simple re branding of "xbox originals" on xbox.com marketplace, it holds promise down the road. This coming August the new "Games on demand", featuring fully downloadable games just like the "xbox originals" section its replaced, will also be hosting a collection of 360 titles.

After being confirmed by Eurogamer, its now official that the jasper motherboards found in the arcade xbox 360 will be packing 512MB of memory. Unfortunitly this was done so that the arcade xbox's would be able to make full use of the new xbox experience. Looks like we still need to buy memory cards.

Microsoft has finally confirmed what everyone has been speculating on for the better part of two weeks if not more. That the first of the next generation consoles will take a price cut. Obviously this is aimed at making the 360 more affordable and competitive with the nintendo wii. The Pro system with a 20GB hard drive is now $299 down from 349.99 originally.

Recently Gamasutra ran an article in which Aaron Greenberg, director of product management for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live, makes the bold claim that wii owners are going to eventually "graduate", to Microsoft's system of choice: Xbox 360 weather it be arcade, pro or elite. My own personal view on this is that the hardware isn't relevant. I wouldn't consider chucking my 360 for a wii just like I

Spike TV’s Gametrailers TV, has secured the rights to air the very first footage of the Gears of War 2. Gears of War was an epic game but most would agree it was created to be a stand in until Halo 3 arrived. Though no one can deny it had a more intelligent method of gameplay involved then most First Person Shooters. But the game is still very impressive and likely to sell extreamly well. If the

Anyone who’s enjoyed the prince of Persia series will now have a clue as to what the title for the next game in the series. And the winner is, “Prodigy”. The creater/publisher Ubisoft has recently trademarked the title, “Prince of Persia Prodigy”, in relation to video game software. Ubisoft announced in January that a new Prince of Persia game was in development. However to really get a handle

I realised something walking into Costco in its last 45min before closing. I hate things. Like Cartmen and his theme park, I dislike lines. When it comes to the piss poor selection of video games that makes Wal-mart look like a f'n mall in comparison, I found myself confronting yet another deep simmering distaste. The distaste for bundles. In a effect, a bundled video game system usually is an

I'm a huge star wars fan. I collected the toy battle droids as a child and waited in the rain as a teen to see episode 3. Being the gamer that I am, I've naturally played several star wars games. Jedi Academy stands as my favorite PC title while Knights of the old republic has yet to be matched on the console. Why no Star Wars: Empire at war ? Simply put, the game wasn't all that.

I'm a strategy nut when it comes to my PC gaming. I've played Starcraft, C&C, Red alert series and even tried my hand at a few hex based games on Gametap. I went into Panzer tactics with a keen eye for any similarities between this strategy gem and my first strategy game (which revolved around world war two and all wars up to 1999), Steel Panthers.

In a move that should surprise no one, the hit PC real time strategy title, WOrld in Conflict has been delayed. The surpriseing factor however is that its been delayed by almost a year (originally supposed to launch November of 2007!). Martin Tremblay, president of worldwide studios, Sierra Entertainment, assures us that the "franchise" is being "reinvented" for consoles (Xbox360 & PS3). Guess

The fear and genuine uproar I (and many an RPG fan), felt when EA gobbled up Bioware now seems to be genuinly justified. EA has in the past serialized many titles to the point where the offshoots that have little to do with the original game end up killing the whole point of the original game and turning it into a lame title that is recycled and produced to line EA's pockets.

Often times we get truely creative people taking there success as part of the larger and going off on there own to found something truely great. This trend in the game industry which began back in the 70's and 80's with designers jumping ship from the then dominant atari to found activision, stands in stark contrast to the wave of mergers and aquistitions everyone is saying is the norm.

Upon jumping on Joystiq I spotted a story that had me jumping up and down with glee. EA has finally unveiled Red Alert 3. Details are non-existent but you don't really need them when your talking about one of the landmark sci-fi RTS titles of the 90's and early 2000's. Basically you have to deal with the events of Einstein going back in time and assassinating Hitler, and the two wars this action

In world of sell outs and acquisitions, its refreshing to have people like Ted Price running Insomniac, even if we don't expect to see Resistance on the 360.

If you've played games by EA or watched the gaming industry over the years, two things stand out. EA has released increasingly repetitive unimaginative sports games and bought studio's to supply what it couldn't produce itself.

The idiocy that surrounds politicians and anti-video game legislation just added a new chapter, New Mexico. Like similar legislation in my home state of Wisconsin, the proposal has to do with taxing video games in much the same way Tabaco and alchole are taxed, so as to fund programs for children. First off, it redicoules that this tax equates video games as being on par with tabaco or Alchole.

Weather you realized world of warcraft (WoW), had become mainstream when the coveted south park episode aired to kick off its 11th seasion. Found your friends deserting you, there families and eventually all society for what you so foolishly deamed back then to be "only a game". World of Warcraft has become our generations biggest attention whore. I say this as world of Warcraft hits 10 million

Rise of Nations was a great RTS that continues to sell on store shelves which had you conquering the world for many hours. You could build your own earth empire (without all the complexity of Empire earth I& II or the glitch infested train wreck of a kiddie game that is Empire Earth 3), with unique units and culture specific buildings.

But wait. What about Tomb raider you say ? Surely that will

Yes reader, the uk's prime minister wants to crack down on the use/existance of knives in video games. He's doing this in response to a spree of knife related deaths in the UK. The logic of this move had me wondering if Jack Thompson had gone abroad. Never mind the lunacy of the logic involved, why doesn't he bring up something more stareotypical like the existance of guns in video games ? Rocket

So appearently no one knows weather Alone in the dark has been delayed. Possibly until September according to an article in games for windows .Then of course Atari responded to said accusations and rumors of delay by saying they were still on track to meet there march release date.
