Games exist to fuel fantasy. We want to fight huge dragons, topple a tyrannical regime, live a life of crime without consequence, or, sometimes, become a superstar at a sport. Striving to be excellent at a sport is part of the American psyche, something that drives kids from Little League to high school athletics with a single-minded purpose to become better and maybe, just maybe…

Do you still remember that bad taste in your mouth around the year 2008? If you do and you’re afraid to utter the name Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe then you probably also felt a sharp pang of apprehension around the announcement ofInjustice: Gods Among Us; a fighting game with the Mortal Kombat engine featuring DC heroes. Haven’t we played this game before?

Aliens: Colonial Marines is not a game that will be measured in reviews, but instead in autopsies and obituaries. My experience with the game was not pleasant. Read more inside to find out why…

The release of Halo 4 is a pretty momentous occasion. Aside from being the return of one of biggest titles in video game history, it’s also the first time one of the major console trilogies has gone past the third numbered entry in its franchise, breaking wide open the Pandora’s box…

Medal of Honor: Warfighter is an excessively average game. In every way, it embodies the idea of “stereotypic”. If you look at the back of the box and imagine what this game will be like, you’ll probably be pretty spot on…

Dead or Alive 5 will probably be one of the biggest surprises of the fall. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one expecting a token experience from a former fighting game giant, but this game really represents a true return to form…

To say Resident Evil has had influence in the survival horror genre would be to cut it short: the first time the term was ever used was in discussing 1996’s Resident Evil.
