New views of Pacific Storm (Pacific Storm)

Jul 17, 2006

Genre-blending war games don't get any more ambitious than the upcoming Pacific Storm. Combining real-time and turn-based strategy with first-person action, Pacific Storm rams more game elements into a single title than anything we've seen to date - but will it work?

But commanding our Pacific forces in real-time and taking to the skies as an ace ...

E3 06: Pac-Man World Rally hands-on (Pac-Man World Rally)

May 12, 2006

It seems to be a rite of passage that every cartoon-y, platform-y game character must eventually star in a kart racing game. This summer, one of the earliest arcade stars - Pac-Man, one of few modern game characters who can remember when Mario was a rookie - gets his turn behind the wheel. He's not alone - there are at least 15 characters in all, including the fire-breathing dragon Fygar from Namco's arcade classic Dig-Dug and a certain roll-headed prince from a more modern hit, Katamari ...

"Basically that means is rather than going into [a store] and paying $59 for a boxed game and paying a monthly subscription fee per month," says Tracy Spait, Director of Online Publishing for GamersFirst, "what we're doing is giving our games away for free."

As was evidenced at 2009's E3 in Los Angeles, free-to-play massive-multiplayer online (MMO) gaming has taken huge steps forward since its inception and has been growing in popularity and quality. Since the popularity of games like MapleStory and Second Life, what used to be a blind eye turned towards the genre has now gotten a second look in the US...
