Anarchy Reigns is the most apt title for a game we heard at this year's E3. Set for release in January 2012, we played the online brawler at Sega's booth. The result was a chaotic, fun and partially frustrating experience. From Platinum Games, maker of Wii's ultraviolent black and white brawler MadWorld, Anarchy Reigns goes full color and pares down the gameplay into a melee-happy game of tag.
Although it does things by the book for the most part, Ancient Wars: Sparta does manage to add a few twists to the rock steady real-time strategy genre. Set between 300 BC and 700 AD, Sparta promises to give you a lesson in history and ass kicking with the ability to control armies from the Roman, Persian, or Egyptian empires.
But dont expect any major differences between these three armies that would cater to different play styles. Whether youre skewering an enemy with a Roman Spartans long
There's a handful of genres for which we probably don't need any more games: World War II shooters, medieval fantasy RPGs, and street basketball showdowns. Still, the makers of And 1 Streetball think they've got something fresh for gamers stuck at the intersection of NBA Live and NBA Street.
That something is primarily a new control scheme, designed to let you express yourself with creative moves while still bringing the thunder with a nasty dunk. And 1 calls this "I Ball," but we'll call it
There’s nothing quite like Animal Crossing’s chilled-out, surprisingly addictive and potentially endless non-game gameplay. Having felt compelled to play the DS version, Wild World, almost every single day for the better part of three years, we can confirm that the only surefire way to break a chronic Animal Crossing habit is to take the cartridge on holiday and lose it.

The sequel to the much-loved Anomaly Warzone Earth is on the horizon, and its bringing morphing and multiplayer with it...
If you took a typical tower defense game, turned it inside out, upside down, and smacked it on the head, you'd get something that vaguely resembles 11 bit studios' Anomaly: Warzone Earth. This "tower offense" was already released for the PC, iPhone, and Android devices, but it's now making its way to the Xbox Live Arcade, and according to the developers, that was actually the first place it was meant to land...

Apache: Air Assault takes the formula of IL-2 Sturmovik and applies it to choppers: focus on what makes the machines awesome down to a pornographic level, and then provide a wide range of options that allow both kick-back arcade arm-chair flyboys and super detail-oriented sim freaks to get their whup-whup-whup fix. Spanning sixteen missions in its solo campaign, Apache will provide a big, sprawling landscape that virtual pilots can then systematically clear cut with missiles, rockets, and machine gun fire...
APB is the cops and robbers MMO from the creators of Crackdown. There are no levels, no ‘Artificial Incompetence’ to battle, and no numbers to slowly grind. Why? Well, according to Real Time Worlds’ boss Dave Jones, “leveling is a broken concept - it’s called a grind for a reason.” So APB isn’t about killing 2000 bunnies or crafting a new sword from the skins of 600 lizards; APB is about action and
