Gears of War 3 Contest
We’ve decided to reboot our Gears of War 3 contest. In retrospect, starting such a contest in the first week of our existence was a bad call. Also, the requirements and the mountain of legalese were probably unhelpful. Here is the new setup for the contest. We’ll give away 3 copies of Gears of War […]

Mortal Kombat Vita | Review
Last year’s Mortal Kombat brought the series back from the brink of obscurity and almost self parody. In my opinion Nether Realm Studios not only gave the franchise a much needed shot in the arm by undoing several games worth of changes but made the whole thing more accessible to a whole new generation of […]
THQ Puts Devil’s Third On Hold
The next from boob loving, finger choking Japanese game developer Tomonobu Itagaki has been put on hold by publisher THQ. Devil’s Third was originally revealed in the summer of 2010 and since then very little information has been released about the game. We do know that it involved a storyline fusing Asian, American and European […]

Diablo III Downtime Trends on Twitter, Enrages Gamers
Diablo III is surely one of the largest game launches we’ve seen in 2012. This could explain not only why the game seems to be everywhere online but why the complaints of players have been heard all around the internet. The game has not even been available for 24 hours (in North America) and already […]
