News Spike VGA 2010 Super-Duper Round-Up Special
We came, we saw, we conquered: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Batman: Arkham City, Resistance 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
There were some big announcements at the Spike VGA awards last night, and we've got the whole lot rounded up into a neat little package with a bow on top. We've also got the show's winners (this is an awards lark after...
News VGA 2010: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Launches November 1st, 2011
Next year's already looking to have one of the strongest video game lineups in a long time
Sometimes great franchises converge on a single year, and 2011 looks to be an example of that. But for every sequel, new IP and downloadable game released in 2011, game developers will be looking over their shoulder. It was telling at last night's VGA awards...
News VGA 2010: SSX: Deadly Descents Takes Itself A Little Too Seriously
People have been calling for a new SSX game for a number of years, but we're not sure SSX: Deadly Descents is what they had in mind
The flamboyant nature of the PlayStation 2's SSX titles appears to have been replaced by an edgy, gritty angle. Yeah. The trailer's after the jump.
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. The trailer introduces the game's new lead antagonist, Dr. Hugo Strange, who is in charge of Arkham City itself. The trailer doesn't reveal much, but it does set the tone.
News VGA 2010: Guillermo Del Toro Teases "Horrific Adventure" Title For 2013
Sometimes games get announced too early, and we can't help but feel that Guillermo del Toro and THQ's collaboration, Insane, is going to fall victim to that
Despite sounding like our kind of game (THQ's Danny Bilson pitches it as an "horrific adventure"), it's not due to release until 2013. 2013! Sorry THQ, our attention is most certainly...
News VGA 2010: Prototype 2 Kills Monsters With Monsters In 2012
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: Debut Resistance 3 Gameplay Trailer Released, Launches September 6th
They pulled it off
For weeks now we've been worrying whether the style from Resistance 3's artwork would match the actual gameplay. It does. Resistance 3's debut gameplay footage features a style much closer in tone to the original game. The soft colour palette and flickery composition excite us no end, largely because it gives back the franchise...
News VGA 2010: Mass Effect 3 Officially Announced, Brings The Fight To London
There's some pretty strong imagery in this Mass Effect 3 trailer
Despite the game being accidentally leaked by EA's store over the weekend, there's something stark and interesting about a futuristic London sky-line. The sequel to Bioware's hot RPG franchise is due next Holiday. No platforms have been officially announced, but expect it to land on...

News EA Accidentally Outs Mass Effect 3 For PlayStation 3, Will Be A Battle For The Earth
Whoops
Hours away from Mass Effect 3's official unveiling at tomorrow's Spike VGA Awards, EA's spilled the beans. A pre-order listing on the EA website's store has appeared for the anticipated sequel, and as expected it appears the game will almost certainly launch day and date on the PlayStation 3. Mass Effect 2 hasn't even hit the PlayStation 3...

Rumour New SSX Title In Development At EA Canada
If there's one franchise that fans have been longing for on current generation consoles, it's SSX
The EA developed snowboarding franchise was a huge hit on the PlayStation 2, and it's almost bizarre that it hasn't made the jump to PlayStation 3 yet. We can only assume EA wants to make sure the game's done properly. According to Kotaku, a new SSX...
News In Case You Care: There's Going To Be Another Prototype Game
Remember 2009, when similar-looking super hero titles launched on the PlayStation 3? Those games were Prototype and inFamous
Many forum topics debated which game would come out "the winner", but it wasn't long before people totally forgot about Prototype, succumbing to inFamous' brilliance. A sequel to inFamous was announced at E3 this...
News Resistance 3 Gameplay Trailer Locked For VGA Appearance
The more we read about Resistance 3, the more excited we get
The first game was incredible, and for all its faults, the second game was pretty good too. Unfortunately for Resistance 2 it had to follow-up the original, and instead of building on the atmosphere and tone that made the first game so successful, it went in a different, less unique...
Rumour Uncharted 3 Will Take Nathan Drake To The African Desert
The first Uncharted was all about creating believable characters in a next-generation world
With the cast already established, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves' selling point was its snow effects. The gorgeous opening mission saw protagonist Drake climbing around amidst a minor blizzard. With Uncharted 3 hotly tipped to make an appearance at next month's...
News Oh Good, More Publishers Tease Their VGA Announcements
This is getting pretty boring now
Is it really necessary for every publisher to release extremely obscure teasers for their VGA announcements? We get that they want to build hype, but good grief — there's been one of these every single day and the awards event is still a good three weeks away. No, we don't know what Activision's "Murder Your...

News Sony To Make Post-VGA Announcement, Lining Up New PlayStation 3 Exclusive
While all the other big publishers fight over their "big reveal" spot on Spike TV's VGA event, Sony's decided to save their big announcement until the day after
The platform holder's teasing something so big for its December 12th reveal that it requires an event all of its own. We'd put money on a certain Nathan Drake being in attendance. Get hype.
