SpeedRunGames has really pulled a number on us by releasing Grappling Hook mostly because it's the type of game that will leave you wanting for more even after you complete all the 22 levels, unlocked by the full version. It's like the game was first thought of as a shooter, but, somewhere along the way, ... |

Battlefield is one of the biggest first-person franchises out there, especially in the multiplayer department, so it was only natural that it started feeling insecure when Modern Warfare, and especially, when its sequel, MW2, came out. So, when Infinity Ward made a huge blunder with the PC version of its mega hit, DI... |

After being teased as a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter, MAG spent a lot of time in beta testing. As one could only expect, the 256-player maps that the game supports are bound to cause a lot problems, so it's no wonder the game spent months on end under a magnifying glass, as developers watche... |

When it first came out in 2001, Red Faction had one of the most impressive physics engine ever made. The level of destruction one could inflict on the environment was truly massive, and, even if it single-handedly made the game famous, not much happened with it afterwards. The Red Faction destruction-fest didn't... |

With Bioshock 2 coming up in what seems like a plasmid's throw-away, there's still a lot about the game that remains a mystery. We know that we'll get back into Rapture and we know that there will be plenty of Big Daddy and Little Sister action, (OK, that phrasing sounds a bit weird), but pretty much e... |

We already saw a plethora of new games being unveiled at the Video Game Awards this year. The Force Unleashed 2 and Batman:Arkham Asylum 2 were some of the biggest names, but there were a lot of other titles that, while already hinted at and teased, weren't really presented in any way. One of such games is Medal... |

We just saw how the brilliantly-teased-as-"Friendship" update to Team Fortress 2 turned the table on the Demoman and Soldier classes and changed into a War update, but, now, Valve may have something even bigger installed for the title.

Valve has gotten us all in a frenzy with its “Friendship” announcements and its mysterious upcoming update for Team Fortress 2.

Left 4 Dead 2 had a pretty hard and bumpy road to get through before it got launched. First, the game was boycotted by dedicated fans of the first installment, and then it had to be seriously edited to be allowed an Australian release. But, eventually, the title was launched and it turned out to be a lot of fun. It s... |

As far as a single nation and official involvement goes, America is without a doubt the most active country from a military standpoint. And above everything else, wars need soldiers.

The Far Cry legacy started in 2004, and it was an amazing debut.

As soon as I started Modern Warfare 2, I couldn't shake this familiar feeling I was having, that I was there before, that I did that somewhere else, a Matrix-like deja-vu. The game starts with the same test run of your abilities to set your difficulty level that the original Modern Warfare did, with the small ad... |

With America sticking its nose in pretty much every conflict that's present on the face of the Earth, you can bet the one thing it needs is soldiers. America has a vast experience with public relations and catchy phrases, but one of its best must be the "Uncle Sam wants you" recruitment slogan. So, America knows... |

Even with the PC market bent over a wooden horse and padded with a spiked lash, everyone knew that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was going to make more money than most countries sweat and toil for in months. Still, ideas like “big” and “huge” are never enough to make an impact. Vague concepts... |

DICE and its Battlefield Bad Company 2 are beginning to make a trend out of doing everything that Infinity Ward did with Modern Warfare 2, but in reverse. When IW said that it would remove dedicated servers, DICE jumped out and announced that it wouldn't, and when the MW2 servers got limited to 9 vs. 9, Bad Comp... |

The Second World War has been the Holy Grail of first-person shooters for some time now. It might have started well before it, but a big series that has stuck to its guns and has remained strictly in this time period is Medal of Honor.

All the information regarding the plot of Dragon Rising is given in the cinematic at the beginning of the campaign, without any sort of in-game cut-scenes. In the very near future claims over the oil-rich Skira Island escalate to an all-out conflict between Russia and China. Both countries claim ownership, both need ... |

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising has barely left the barrel but it seems it's already managed to impress people. Two days after the official launch in the US a tournament for the game has already been put together.

As any gamer knows, there is no substitute for the mouse when it comes to fast-paced first-person online gaming. As much as the gamepad struggles to accommodate and the Wii-remote could improvise and make do, they just don't offer enough precision. And Battlefield 1943 is finally going to put the mouse to good u... |
