Summer is cooling off, and the big holiday game releases are right around the corner. While we won’t be seeing Starcraft 2 or Heavy Rain this year, and Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been shelved until further notice, there are still plenty of fantastic games coming out this year.

I didn’t know about this game until very recently. Now, I want.

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

But in order to do this, you write [...]

As I look over my list of games that were announced at E3 this year, I’m struck by the fact that every one of which I’ve taken note is a sequel. Probably the one I’m most excited about is Heavy Rain, which isn’t a true sequel to Fahrenheit, but it’s a spiritual successor created by [...]

I’ve never played any of the original Monkey Island games, but I’ve heard people rave about them. Now, it looks like TellTale games, makers of the new Sam & Max and Strong Bad adventure games have a new episodic game series on the boards: Tales of Monkey Island.
The series is debuting July 7th for the PC, [...]
