Next year's already looking to have one of the strongest video game lineups in a long time

Perhaps one of the worst kept secrets of the VGAs this year, Activision's announced Prototype 2 for release in 2012
The game introduces a new protagonist, Sgt. James Heller, who's been tasked with destroying the previous game's antihero, Alex Mercer. That's a nice little twist. Still, Activision's slapped a 2012 release date on this. It's hard to...
News VGA 2010: Batman: Arkham City Gets Strange, Dr. Hugo Strange To Be Precise
Hype
It might be a CG trailer without an inch of gameplay, but this Batman: Arkham City teaser really sets the tone for Rocksteady's upcoming sequel.

News PlayStation Move Shortage Draws Anger in New Zealand
Questionable practices going on

The soft colour palette and flickery composition excite us no end, largely because it gives back the franchise...

In many ways, the Call Of Duty franchise is an XBOX 360 exclusive

News Could Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Take The Franchise To Britain?
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is set in the desert
We know that. But Naughty Dog's never been the type of developer to set a game in one specific place.

Review Tron Evolution (PlayStation 3)
Derezzed to kill
One of the biggest surprises about the story of a video game coding whiz transported into a computer's mainframe is that after 28 years there are still not many games set in the awesome Tron universe.

Talking Point Why PlayStation Move Needs Uncharted 3
Naughty Dog holds the controller's future
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception is real, announced by Sony for a release in 2011, most likely around Christmas time.
