Continuing its publisher Perfect World’s tradition of providing quality MMOs for free, Raiderz is sticking to the fantasy MMO formula. In our brief hands-on we were treated to the party combat and some raid-like battles with bosses at the end. It all looked stunning though, because this one uses the Unreal Engine 3 to great effect...
Like fighting huge monsters? What about choosing your skills regardless of class? Or even... transforming into a harmless cat? If you said yes to any or all of these, Raiderz might be the MMO for you...

The original Rainbow Islands is, without question, one of the greatest platform games ever made. The vertical rainbow-fuelled play is unique, and it's totally unafraid of syrupy cuteness and juicy fruit bonuses.
And it's the sequel to Bubble Bobble, which is undeniably one of the greatest platform games ever made. What is uncertain is whether anyone is going to mess this up like they messed up Bubble Bobble Revolution. Fingers crossed, no.
Rainbow Islands Revolution clearly isn't your

As much as people air concern over whether EA will one day acquire - and maybe assimilate - Ubisoft, another pressing question is whether anyone would notice. Together with the upcoming Prince of Persia 3, the Rainbow Six series is at the heart of claims that the publisher is slipping into a familiar business model that champions regular updates to a cluster of bankable franchises.The heavy delays experienced by Lockdown, the series' fourth instalment, make this a difficult accusation to prove
Tom Clancy's best-selling techno thrillers have probably done as much to fuel paranoia about international terrorism as the ranting of bin Laden, Bush and Blair, but they don't half inspire decent videogames. Clancy's original Rainbow Six novel, a chunky doorstop of a book, has spawned around ten squad-based shooters over the years (we lost count trying to add up all the PC expansion packs) and the latest, Rainbow Six 4, looks set to continue the series' strong pedigree.Developed once again by
The grizzled, realistic military shooter Rainbow Six first dropped into counter-terrorist action in 1998 against a backdrop of arcadey, sci-fi shooters like Unreal Tournament and Quake. Rainbow and its two sequels were swiftly dubbed "thinking man's shooters" due to mature presentation and hyper-tactical gameplay. Rainbow Six: Lockdown's previous installment, Rainbow Six: 3, wasn't just hard; at some points it was simply an exercise in masochism. But, finally threading the needle and beating
You don't have to love classic monster moves to enjoy Rampage: Total Destruction, but it helps. Midway unleashed a fresh batch of screens for its old-school building basher in late February, and we got a little bit of hands-on time to go with 'em.
Total Destruction sticks close to Rampage's arcade roots; players control giant monsters (more than 25 of them, including giant sharks and octopi) as they go on a nearly brainless tear through modern metropolii, smashing buildings, eating people, and
The CG animated Rango is still three months away but EA was more than eager to bring their game tie-in to our attention at a recent closed-door unveiling of the Xbox 360 version. In case you haven't heard, the movie reunites Johnny Depp (in the title role) with Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski. It is also the first full-length animated film by the visual effects company, Industrial Light & Magic...
