Look, it's Bat-man. The list of fun and exciting games to play through the downloadable section in the Xbox Live Arcade continues. Next up to bat: Skydive: Proximity Flight. Slightly taking a page out of EA…

And with these first steps I say… run!! Remember in the movie Independence Day when Will Smith is dragging a half-conscious, dreadlock-wearing alien across the desert? Well, that’s Capsized. Okay, not exactly, not even remotely close, but July 4th…

You talkin’ to me, silly alien? A lot of shooters these days try to cover up their sub-optimal mechanics with fluff. We’ve seen plenty of stories that nobody cares about, and QTEs added when they…

'Cause two genres are better than one. Sanctum 2, the sequel to the original Sanctum (duh), is truly one of a kind. Taking two of the industry's most popular, and arguably overused, genres of today and melding them…

What’s more loco than one of those tacos with the crap that gets all over your fingers? Giving away free games, of course!

The newly reborn entertainer’s new video game is debuting on Xbox Live Arcade today and other platforms soon.

Button-mashing bliss. I don't know about you, but there's nothing quite like a quality cooperative game experience. Gathering around the TV with your pals and beating up a bunch of bad guys is always a…

Designer for Coffee Stain Studios, Armin Ibrisagic, reveals and expands upon their much improved story for the upcoming Sanctum 2.

If you don't like being surrounded by hundreds of bloody men, don't worry. It won't cost you a thing. I'm not sure how Ubisoft and developer Kung Fu Factory managed it, but they've convinced Microsoft…

Flashing into view, it's a flashback of Flashback soon to be back in a flash! When I stepped into the space for Ubisoft's Digital Day, I remember peering to my right and seeing the word…

Any classics-nerds want a side-scrolling Minecraft? I'll be honest upfront: I've had issues with "build-it-yourself" stuff. I could build towers with Legos, I could build a cabin out of Lincoln Logs (remember those?), but I…

Have you got a Bioshock brain freeze? Tired of the same shoot-em-up video games? The Behemoth has the cure.

And they were all like WOOOSHH WOOSHHH OOHH WOOSHH. While much of the industry continues to reel from head-tripping AAA shooters and the intellectual talks of GDC, BattleBlock Theater arrives in irreverent fashion. The Behemoth,…

It's tower defense Borderlands 2. The first Sanctum, developed by Coffee Stain Studios, launched with an intriguing hybridization concept: take familiar first-person shooter elements and snipe them into the tower defense genre. Released on Steam…

The literal jumping spider. Alien Spidy is like a bad relationship: It's that game that you obsess over for days at a time, eyes bleary from lack of sleep as you try to perfect your…

Recognize everybody?  You should.  You've seen them all before. Darkstalkers is a really underappreciated series. Sure, it's getting some of its due in this re-release of Night Warriors and DS3 at the moment, and that's great,…

You've probably played this before… Are you familiar with 2D side-scrolling beat-'em-ups? If you've played even five minutes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or The Simpsons in the arcade, then your answer to that question should be a…

Only 10,000 spots are available, but registration closes soon, and if you don’t register… well, you definitely aren’t going to get in.

I am a thousand times more interested in this than continuing the third-person shooting the franchise is known for, but is the project even real?

YOUUUUUU… SHALL NOOOOOOT… PUUUUSH! Multiplayer Online Battle Arena—a term that's practically alien to console gamers. This is mostly due to the assumption by developers that since the genre was born out of PC strategy games,…
