The Simpsons Arcade Game is a barebones port of the similarly named game popular in arcades back in the 90’s. Strangely enough, although there aren’t any real extras to the game, it represents something of a rarity in gaming these days: it’s actually a lot of fun.   Even more surprising, I found it to be more entertaining than the likeminded 90’s Konami arcade port X-Men: The Arcade Gam... more.

With The Dark Knight Rises coming to theaters and gamers still high off of Batman: Arkham City, it’s the perfect time to introduce something new to the Batman franchise. Warner Bros Interactive decided to capitalize off of everyone’s love for the world’s greatest detective (outside of Sherlock Holmes) and online shooters like Modern Warfare 3. Gotham City Impostors is a first-person shooter ... more.

You can't blame Mike Goldberg for having such limited in-ring commentary. After all, he's been shoved into a studio to voice a tutorial for nearly every action in UFC 3. Admirable as it may have been to streamline menu browsing, THQ's take on the UFC is the MMA equivalent of EA Sports forcing Madden players to memorize entire playbooks. That's not a completely fair comparison, but... more.

I base this announcement on the tale of a teen in Lewisville, Texas. He was, according to CBS Dallas-Fort Worth, playing "Call of Duty: Black Ops" onli... more.

Theoretically, this review of Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning (KoA:R) should have been published last Friday. Unfortunately, because we haven't stopped playing it since it arrived in the office, we've been far too busy to do anything as demeaning as write about it. If you'd come into the office we could have shown you, but you didn't, so you've had to wait. Sorry.On first glance KoA:R seems like a ... more.

THQ did a magnificent job of unleashing UFC into the video game world. On their second installment, however, they made quite a few design choices that angered fans and turned the overall product into an unimpressive hot mess. The high learning curve, along with the complex control scheme, had many gamers shaking their head and throwing in the towel. This time around, THQ and Yuke’s have ta... more.

Posted February 13, 2012 by Lewis Denby in News. The Mass Effect 3 Xbox 360 demo is was available early to those happy to play around with a Facebook app. UPDATE: The keys are now all gone. Sadface! Itching to play the Mass Effect 3 demo and feel like waiting until tomorrow is just too much for you to handle? In that case, you might want to get on Facebook ... more.

Playing a role playing game is often times an exercise in time dumping. We go in expecting to spend countless hours experiencing what is typically a vast world crammed with a large variety of things to do and experience. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning , released last week, brings an emphasis on classic RPG and introduces gamers to a new RPG franchise. The game released for the PlayStation 3, the ... more.
