Kotaku's 2007 Games of the Year and Overall Game of the Year (News)

Dec 29, 2007

Kotaku's Brian Crecente writes:

"Our first-ever Game of the Year awards was a pretty straight forward deal. I asked all of the writers to submit a list of three games for each category and the three that showed up most in each category made it as a finalist. Once we had the list of finalists I asked each writer to go through and order the finalists and then tallied the vote. The one with the most points was named Game of the Year, the runner-up was named Not Quite Game of the Year. The game with the most votes for Worst Game of the Year received that dubious honor."

Super Mario Galaxy won Kotaku's Overall Game of the Year award. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune came as second, it won the Not Quite Game of the Year award. (Kotaku posted the overall results as a separate post, see the link at the Alternative Sources below for more details.)

Soldier of Fortune: Payback (Review)

Dec 13, 2007

Nov 20, 2007 If the original Soldier of Fortune games are remembered for anything - and let's be honest, they probably aren't - it's probably for being those first-person shooters where you could blow people's limbs off. Even though they were a lot of fun, with tight controls and reasonably intelligent enemies, they're still best known for being gory. Now we have a new SoF sequel, and if it is destined to be remembered for anything - which it won't - it's that it too is a dismemberment-prone ...

Soldier of Fortune wants you (News)

Oct 25, 2007

Oct 25, 2007 "Blood and Gore", "Drug Reference", "Intense Violence", "Sexual Themes", "Strong Language". When a video blares these 'rating watchwords' before kicking off, you know you're about to watch something worth your while. And such is the case with this new Soldier of Fortune: Payback trailer.

This is hardly an exaggeration: developer ...
