  • Ever-ready to cut through critical bias and drummed-up presale data, Raptr has released its Raptr Report for 2011, with data on which games commanded the most player attention. The report breaks the year's releases down into categories, calculating total playtime by Raptr's 10+ million users over launch month, per-player launch-week playtime and launch-month session length. There's a few surprises in there, but the list's two standouts are both November releases...

  • Let the haters and the old ladies complain about how those newfangled video computer games teach us to be killers; we've always taken the view that violent games are a pressure valve for blowing off steam in a harmless way. Don't believe it? Play something fierce and bloody the next time you're in a really bad mood, and then try telling us you didn't feel better afterward. But why stop there? If games can keep you from climbing a clock tower and expressing your inner pain in the form of
  • If you've started playing Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing, the long-awaited DLC campaign that dropped today, you might have already noticed the little Easter egg Valve smuggled into the second chapter. If you haven't, though, there's a quick shout-out to Dead Rising, hidden amid the graffiti, that you might want to take a look at...

  • Abe Lincoln. Charles Darwin. Edge. Between them they’ve mastered the realms of politics, science and writing about overweight Italian plumbers. And, more importantly than any of that, they’re now all 200. Yep, the long-running and respected games mag has just reached its 200th issue, celebrating the landmark event by publishing 200 unique covers.

    So if you’re mad for Master Chief, delirious over Deus Ex or want to dip

  • Jan 10, 2007 We're all used to seeing games make the jump from small screen to silver screen. But getting sprinkled with a little Hollywood magic isn't the only way that our favourite game characters can be packaged to appeal to a broader audience. Every so often virtual heroes of gaming dodge the bright lights of a blockbuster movie (or, indeed, a veritable cinematic craptacular) and find themselves transformed into a cartoonified persona. But which of gaming's iconic faces have been treated
  • Disney Universe, you magnificent bastard! Yeah Disney, one of the biggest creative forces on the planet, is definitely aping somebody… however, the biggest hornswoggle going down here is that Disney Universe is not the LittleBigRip-off you think it is...

  • Tokyo Game Show might be looming just over the horizon, but not all the interesting developments on the Japanese side of the games industry are coming out of a packed-to-the-brim Tokyo Bay convention center. Earlier this month, the annual CEDEC conference was held in Yokohama, Japan. CEDEC is a conference sponsored by Japan’s Consumer Entertainment Software Association (the same group that puts on TGS) and is geared heavily toward development, much like the Game Developers Conference. Unlike GDC, however, CEDEC is considerably more low-key – though that doesn’t mean that there isn’t some interesting news flowing forth from the event...

  • Slowly but surely, Nintendo is populating its Wii Shop channel with every tiny piece of our collective childhoods. This week is one of the better batches thus far, with Donkey Kong Country, The Legend of Kage, Streets of Rage and New Adventure Island all seeing release on the Virtual Console. Donkey Kong Country (Super NES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points) Still as fun and colorful as ever, this is the huge side-scrolling adventure that started the “apes jumping on crocodiles” craze
  • 27 Nov, 2007 For a time of peace on earth, theres going to be a lot of stress and killing around this Christmas. Just think about this winters biggest games. Whether its COD4s visceral gunfire tearing apart wall and limb alike, the bloody back-stabbing business of the always-hounded Altair, or Kane and Lynch just being plain old sociopathic, the jovial festival of light and wonder really is looking like a quite brutal one this year. We need a way to combat this, and preferably one which
