14:00. Popped in the disk. The first Uncharted did not manage to surprise me in any way and I found the combat extremely unsatisfying. Let's hope the Among Thieves proves to be more interesting.14: 02. It takes about two minutes for the game to initially load up. And then, just before it starts, it needs to save... |

There are certainly a lot of shooters out there, many of them having appeared with the advent of 3D graphics and current- or last-generation consoles, which allowed them to portray events that were easy to imagine by players.

Video games try to innovate, but they're usually quite run-of-the-mill boring when it comes to the overall story: you're a good guy on a mission to save someone you love or your own village/city/planet from destruction by the forces of evil that want nothing more than to see your demise. Not a lot of games... |

Hollywood is seemingly on a roll with comic book adaptations as we've seen quite a lot of them recently, Batman, Ironman or Watchmen included.

First of all, let's get one thing clear: I'm a hardcore gamer who sometimes prefers pure action and adventure to puzzle titles. But this doesn't mean that I can't enjoy a good casual game every once in a while. That's why when PopCap revealed Plants vs. Zombies, a tower-based casual title, I... |

The gaming industry is dominated by big-time corporations like Activision-Blizzard, Electronic Arts or Ubisoft, but that doesn't mean that smaller studios or even just one man can't break the mold of conventional video game design and development.

Open-world games are the latest fashion these days, courtesy of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series, which practically wrote the book on how characters could interact in an open-world environment and, eventually, set up their own criminal network that would favor them completely.

Sony's latest entries in the PlayStation family of consoles, the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3 haven't had the best of luck when it comes to games released for them.

The PlayStation 3 is the most powerful console in terms of hardware that is available today on the market. Nobody can dispute that, but sadly, the small number of games, the high price and the advantages of other consoles have stolen a lot of its success. But titles such as Resistance, Uncharted or Metal Gear Solid h... |

Racing games on the PC have been for quite some time synonymous with Electronic Arts' Need For Speed franchise, largely due to the fact that it was the longest running and had the greatest number of fans.

There are certainly a lot of video game genres out there, but among them, only a few manage to make us feel like kids again, and really entertain us and take our minds off of the problems encountered in our daily lives. One such genre is the hack-and-slash one, which places us as a hero armed with a wide variety of w... |

Innovation is a tough thing to achieve, especially in games. Most developers resort to the same old clichés when it comes to various types of genres, but every once in a while, a game that stuns and dazzles everyone with a very simple approach arrives. Such is Mirror's Edge, which takes platforming and fr... |

Far Cry 2 was one of the most expected titles lately, largely due to the fact that it was the spiritual successor of one of the most popular shooters published by Ubisoft, Far Cry. The game isn't a true sequel, as the characters have changed – no more ex-marine dressed in a Hawaiian shirt – the setti... |

Dead Space is a very interesting title originally conceived as part of a whole experience that also included a comic book and an animated movie, designed as a prequel to the action of the game, both of which really gave the action onboard the Ishimura a sense of realism and emphasized certain details that might attra... |

So, I've finally got my hands on the remake of the 1994 Sid Meier classic, which still has a place on my hard drive and in my playtime schedule. The first piece of advice is to go for a Marathon or Epic game with a big map to fully get the Colonization experience right.16:00. Whom to play as? The four sides from... |

After playing quite a lot of the first game, I really had high expectations from the second one. But most of them were shot down by my first experience with this new shooter. First of all, it develops the story of Psycho, one of your fellow squad mates from the first game, and his chase after the North Korean G... |

First of all, let me just say that I really got into the Crysis hype at the beginning: I saw all the trailers, I downloaded all the pictures from Electronic Arts and Crytek, and, like any other gamer, I prayed that my PC would run the game. It was a sad day when I saw the official system requirements – I was br... |

Let's get one thing out of the way. I don't have any love for Mario, the kind of love that a fan of the red and mustache character might have. I totally respect the way the franchise has lasted for so many years, although I do think that a bit of "character fatigue" might be to blame in the latest outings o... |

In today's super quick, hyper active world, there isn't much time for anything. And I find there's less and less time for gaming. Gone are the days when I played bad games almost to the finish just because I could. We, gamers, now live in an age when a game must make an impression or be condemned to th... |
