I quite literally just finished playing through the two "chapters" of the Heavy Rain demo which is now available for download on the Playstation Network.  All I can say is, "Wow."  This game is truly unlike anything I have ever played before.  My only gripe is that they should have switched the order that you play through the two chapters because the first one is amazing and thrilling, and the ... more.

A few weeks ago, a project furtively referred to around the internet as "Project Donut" was unveiled by RPG designers Luke Crane (Burning Wheel, Mouse Guard) and Jared Sorensen (Lacuna, octaNe) for beta playtesting. Named FreeMarket, the game promises to advance some of the cutting-edge design philosophy of the last few years. A free preview, excerpted from the book's intro, can be downloaded here... more.

Batman: Arkham Asylum has been on the radar of Batman and video game fans alike for some time. Now that the game is only weeks away (it debuts August 25th), the hype has reached a fever pitch. There have been innumerable previews written on the game already, so I won't toss any more toothpicks into the wood pile. However, I will add gasoline to the fire by relaying the new "Gadgets Trailer" fro... more.

MidEvil has been out for quite a few years now, but Origins 2009 was my first exposure to it. I did not actually play the game, but I have played Zombies!!! and, from what I saw in the demo, that is quite enough experience to know that MidEvil is not much different, for better or for worse. Players lay down tiles at the beginning of their turns, then roll a six-sider to determine movement.... more.

This afternoon I watched a demo of Android, the futuristic detective game from Fantasy Flight Games. In this game, players get to choose a character whose sole mission is to uncover a sneaky murderer and proving the innocence of a friend by tracking down leads and unearthing a larger conspiracy. Android focuses heavily on story and has a distinct film noir style. Think of it as a spiritual ... more.

Galaxy Trucker is a board game from Rio Grande Games intended for 2 to 4 players (best with 4, though). The premise of the game is that you are a lackey who works for Corporation Incorporated and are charged with building your own personal freighter spaceship capable of transporting goods and people to the far corners of the galaxy, as well as defend yourself from asteroids and space pirates.... more.

Here's the new E3 trailer for Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii.  I'm not sure if we are more excited because it is a new Dead Space game or because it is a potentially great mature game for the Wii. ... more.

We have a gameplay video of Kratos battling a Titan just for you. See? We're watching your back. Enjoy some bloody God of War 3 action. ... more.

It has only been a year since Left 4 Dead hit stores, but Valve and EA are ready to show off Left 4 Dead 2 to the public. Below you can find a couple demonstrations of the new game's zombie scenarios. It looks like more of the same from the first game, but that is very much a good thing. ... more.

First off, if you have never played Ico or Shadow of the Colossus, stop reading this right now and play those games. If you have played those games, then what we are about to show you needs no introduction. The Last Guardian is the third game in Fumito Ueda's trilogy of games that only vaguely can be called sequels but are all certainly in the same vein: beautiful, touching, and damn fun to pl... more.
