Knees shouldn't go at that angle. What's he thinking? How many mouths? We mean, surely one is enough? And what the hell is that doing there!?
Spore is a sight to behold: a strategy game made up of a cluster of gaming styles that take you from a protozoan swimming in a primordial soup to the commander of a spaceship, all in about eight hours.
We're introduced to an amoeba, a purple blob with big cute eyes squidging across a microscopic world. There's been a lot of evolving since

Fans of the Devil May Cry series will be overjoyed to hear that two of the series best - and sexiest - characters are making a triumphant return in Devil May Cry 4. Theres Trish, a demon created in the image of Dantes mother by the Hell beast Mundus, and Lady, a saucy devil hunter whose weapon of choice is a rocket launcher with an enormous knife strapped to it. And, as is tradition for female characters in Japanese-developed videogames, theyve been given preposterously revealing

Pacific Storm: Allies isn't your average World War II real time strategy, 2D strategy, or run and gun aerial shooter; it's all three mixed together. Like the original, you'll manage diplomacy, climb the tech tree, and produce units in its strategic map mode. But you'll also manage fleets and squadrons like an RTS in the field, with the option to take control of fighter planes or ship turrets for some arcadey dog fighting and gunning.

It looks like Disney wants their Pirates of the Caribbean MMO to have broad appeal, so it makes sense that they've brought VR Studio, the developers of the kid friendly online game, Toontown onboard. Part of achieving that broad appeal means the game will have to run on everything from a state of the art gaming rig to the loathsome family boxes on stacked on pallets at the local Costco. Unfortunately, this also means that the game won't blow your mind on the visual front.

We're playing the Gears of War PC's new King of the Hill mode, which has just seen four other players kill each other viciously from behind one after another in a hilarious cartoon chain of death. As the legendary lead designer CliffyB said to me earlier in the day, the new multiplayer game is indeed, "f---ing hilarious."
Gears of War has shifted over four million copies on Xbox 360 alone, won countless Game of the Year awards and become one of the most popular online shooters of

When you chat to everyone at Epic involved with Unreal Tournament III, one thing is apparent - their passion and belief in the game they're making. It's clear that the development team is working like a bunch of miners to get the game done as soon as possible - and while this looks like being November, Epic's ebullient vice president Mark Rein reiterated once again that it'll only be released "when it's done."
Unreal Tournament III is set on the planet Taryd, a distant planet

How difficult can it be to stimulate an economy and please everybody all the time? The original SimCity games tasked you with making a healthy dose of greenbacks by increasing the population and number of buildings despite the occasional tornado or Godzilla mucking things up. Not so in SimCity Societies, EA's radical reinvention of the franchise. Rather than crafting only one type of burg to rack up cash and Mayoral popularity, EA has given you the tools to erect a city with a

We've killed a lot of Nazis over the years. As far as common videogame villains go, they rank right up there with terrorists and aliens in terms of having a hard-on for destroying all of humanity and everything good. But it seems like game developers are starting to shy away from adding more World War II titles to the pile. Turning Point: Fall of Liberty works some alternate history into its premise to throw more Swastika sporting soldiers at you in a fresh setting.
It all starts

Mirroring Formula Ones Ferrari-McLaren alledge-a-thon, this year EA Black Box have clearly helped themselves to an eyeful of the blueprints belonging to traditionally serious racers such as Forza. For starters, were off the streets and into the pit lanes of numerous real-world race tracks. According to the games producer, this reflects where the street racing culture is heading.
Apparently bored with having to endure fifteen-minute police chases every time they want an innocent

Shooting - or knifing, or just trusty old punching in the balls - someone that youve already killed has been a gaming guilty pleasure since Castle Wolfenstein, but never before has it been a reason to buy a game. Yet so much work has gone into the enemy damage system in the upcoming FPS Soldier of Fortune: Payback that you may find yourself spending more time devising creative ways to maim prone enemies than playing the actual game.
This is hardly an exaggeration: developer
