Dig this new trailer for the upcoming expansion/console port of World in Conflict, the superfast, supergorgeous, supermultiplayer action RTS from Swedish developer Massive. To quote John Carpenter's The Thing: "Hey, Swedes!" The first thing you might think is, 'Whoa,...

I'm really feeling yesterday's lunges and side planks. My thighs and back are asking if we could just skip Wii Fit and play GTA4 instead. But I'm not going to disappoint the Balance Board ™, or the eerie ghost...

Are there any history geeks in the house who are also strategy gamers who don't mind managing lots of numbers in real time to simulate medieval centuries around the world for hours at a time? Lemme hear you say,...

So Grand Theft Auto IV arrived. Well, "arrived" in the same sense that an asteroid colliding with Earth would "arrive". This particular arrival left a huge $500 million impact crater. Now it's kind of hard to see what with...

There have been some interesting Ubiannouncements from Ubisoft's Ubidays over in UbiParis. The twist in the new Prince of Persia: Assassin's Creed (not its real title) is that it will be a lot like Assassin's Creed, but with a...

So you've gotten to the end of GTA 4 and now - wait, you are done, aren't you? If not, you have to stop here. This is spoiler country. Is he gone, that guy who didn't get to the...

Thanks to Keith for the Youtube links to Nintendo's latest ad campaign for the DS, featuring Carrie Underwood and Liv Tyler. Maybe you've seen these on TV. In which case I just busted you for watching Oprah! Actually, I...

File this under: Noooooooo! Someone at THQ tried to quietly inform Reuters that the release of Saints Row 2 was pushed from mid-August to mid-October. We're not about to let that go unnoticed, particularly since playing Grand Theft Auto...

When you're doing the yoga and strength training exercises, Wii Fit gives you an instructor who demonstrates the moves and then performs them while you follow along. You can choose from a dude or a chick. Being a dude, I...

Paris, Rome, Fiji, the Taj Majal? Pshaw. Yeah, sure, the graphics are pretty good and the back stories are great, but the fees are huge and you can't save your game. Plus, they won't yet run on any gaming system...

Wii Fit came out in Japan over the holidays. It has sold nearly one and a half million copies. That's a lot. However, Nintendo expects to sell twice that number here in the US, because we're fat and lazy. They...

MMO launches are a lot like NASCAR races and high-wire trapeze acts: many of the people who show up secretly hope to witness a disaster. Norwegian developer Funcom obligingly supplied a glorious trainwreck when they launched Anarchy Online in...

The Latino Review scooped this over a month ago, but it was just officially announced that Jake Gyllinhall Gyllenhall, whose name I always have to look up to spell correctly, is the new Prince of Persia. Good news or...
