One decade ago, Konami left a neoteric imprint on the survival horror genre with Silent Hill, a video game that would inspire a number of future titles, a movie, and several books and comics. But Harry Mason’s investigation into the fog-covered town and its strange occurrences accomplished more than just a household name among the likes of Resident Evil. The heart-pounding adrenaline rush introduced gamers to a nightmare founded on psychological Japanese horror and an equally unnerving musical score by composer Akira Yamaoka.

With BioShock 2 just days away, we were thrilled when given the opportunity to participate in a conference call with various devs involved in making this return to Rapture the very best it can be. Among the most interesting information passed on to us were bits and pieces surrounding the Big Daddy and Little Sister relationships prevalent throughout both games. You may already be familiar [...]

With the unfortunate last minute release date delay, the Return to Ostagar content had the misfortune of following in the mighty footsteps of Mass Effect 2. Had it come out with time to spare before the wicked began feasting upon their precious space cargo, it may have seen better sales. I’m sure many are more than unwilling to switch back to BioWare’s “other” RPG that players may have pillaged and ransacked several times over by now. As much as I love Mass Effect from the bottom of my heart — I was willing to pop that glorious disc in and find out if it’s worth your valuable time (and money).

Half-time during any football game, especially during the Super Bowl, is a great time to stock up on more booze, cook some more food or purge, but with The Who scheduled to perform you might want to actually stick around. I know I won’t be missing this year’s half-time show but if you happen to miss it don’t worry, you can play it on Rock [...]

If you’re looking forward to the Ultimate Edition of Zeno Clash for XBLA, then you’ll enjoy this video, which shows off the new attacks found in this updated version.
“Initially, ACE Team had offered to demonstrate the new moves in Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition in person for the Atlus staff,” chuckled a grimacing Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales for Atlus. “We all thought they were [...]

I’ll start off by confessing that I’ve been playing this game off and on for nearly a year. It’s just one of those games that’s great to pick up and play for a little while, set it down, and come back to it later. It’s also one of my all-time favorite games for the DS (it’s also available on nearly every other platform), even though [...]

My game is best played in a pitch black room with the soft glow of my television piercing the darkness. The battle cries of obnoxious ten-year-olds do not tear through my eardrums. I do not waste time with team members who have no desire to play correctly or fairly. Silence and solitude are freedom; gateways to platinum trophies, 100% completion, and a committed relationship with [...]

With the winter Olympics just a couple of weeks away I was searching for a way to get ready for Olympic competition and video games seemed to be the perfect answer. Sadly the only one available is Vancouver 2010: The Official Videogame of the Winter Olympic Games. Developed by Eurocom and published by Sega, this Olympic title looks great and does a great job giving [...]

This Friday we’ll be joining some of the 2K Marin development team to poke and prod them about anything BioShock 2. We’d love to give our readers a chance to send in any questions they’d like us to cattle prod or stump the team with, that way we get the information you all would actually take interest in hearing about. BioShock 2 being only one week away from its February 9th release date, would you kindly share your curiosity and interest in BioShock 2?

Fan of Disgaea? Enjoy the errant visual novel? Me too! But this post isn’t about me. It’s about Disgaea Infinite, NIS America’s next entry into the lighthearted yet ridiculously deep strat-RPG series. Except this time around, there’s no strategy to be found. It’s a visual novel! I’m just as surprised as you are, but most definitely intrigued.

We’re serving up Episode 06, the Kill Kast Collector’s Edition. And you didn’t even have to pre-order! This week you’ll be joining Tigresa (Stephanie) alongside a gaggle of tavern he-wenches K-Tuck (Kevin), Snarkasaur (Dave), and The Herp (aka Eric aka Sports). We dish a little on what we’ve been playing (recorded Thursday, 1/28) and our varied opinion on what’s really “collectable” in Collector’s Editions of several upcoming and past games, and what’s just there to trick you into doling out an addition $10-$40 for unrecycled plastic.
