Swedish publisher/developer holds their annual convention to show off their 2012 line up. Known for their hardcore strategy titles, Paradox Interactive is growing and expanding. CEO Fred Wester shares his thoughts about the death of consoles, talks about empty promises and more…

A Game of Throne fans will soon have upwards of three new ways to play George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book epic. According to reports, the series is currently being adapted into an RPG for consoles, a free-to-play MMO for browsers, and a social networking game for release in 2012...

Yesterday, it was announced that three new Game of Thrones games would be landing for consoles, computers and (possibly) smartphones, with the largest of the proposed adaptations being a Games of Thrones RPG for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Not one to keep fans guessing, Atlus has now revealed a few more details surrounding the major release, and how it will make players work hard for the Westeros crown...

The conniving Queen Cersei, Varys the Spider and the wizened Jeor Mormont are just a few of the recognizable figures set to star in the forthcoming Game of Thrones RPG, according to fresh details and screenshots from its European publisher, Focus Home Interactive. Currently in development by Cyanide Studio, maker of this year's A Game of Thrones: Genesis for PC, the title is being billed as a full-grown RPG that will offer fans of the George R.R.

Some games have misleading titles. Some just don't make sense. A Space Shooter For Two Bucks is not one of those games...

Last night publisher NIS America revealed their fall lineup, and for the first time in memory there was a lack of PlayStation support. Instead the company, known for its charming RPGs and affection for hand-drawn anime art over 3D cutscenes, revealed a major push into the Nintendo DS market. Makes sense, seeing as neither PS3 nor PSP have the same kind of pull as DS at this point. So, what do level-grinding RPG fanatics have to look forward

It's unlikely that Professor Layton or Dr Kawashima would ever get in an actual proper fight that involved slapping and spitting. Neither of them seem like men of violence. However, they are involved in a fight more important and meaningful than any trading of fists and heavy blows in a dark alley - they are engaged in the fight to win a priceless Golden Joystick award.

As much as we loved 2007's Ace Combat 6, its storytelling and general presentation felt very much trapped in the past. With the newly announced Assault Horizon, Namco appears to be striving for a decidedly Modern Warfare feel - notice the real-world locations, the first-person "oh shit" moments and the general grit that have so far eluded the console versions of Ace Combat. Gotta say, this looks fuggin' cool, especially for PS3 fans who had to sit out Ace 6.

Trailer and screens inside!

As we explained in our recent preview, the latest Ace Combat is a modern-era departure from the series' fictional, melodramatic roots. Where there was once a made-up army fighting in a made-up country, there's now a battle taking place over a besieged African city. Real-world locations, helicopters and close-quarters combat highlight the game's many new points, but this trailer emphasizes the gritty, darker tone of Assault Horizon, which roughly translates to "make it look like Modern Warfare" and soak that sucker in guitars!
