2009 has been a huge year for gaming. We’ve seen the release of some highly anticipated sequels, big movements in the rhythm scene, truly modern approaches to some classic RPG elements and a zombie around almost every corner. As the year draws to a close, we look back at some of the highlights of the [...]

From A Life Well Wasted, comes the single most important poster any gamer could own. Not only does it remind you what’s Super Effective, it also shows – via colour-coding – all the Vital Bits a gamer must know to attack, hit, shoot, swing at or eat, if you’re going For The Win.

This: Pure awesome, really. Found over at Geekologie, who found it elsewhere, as these things tend to happen on the internet: this amazing Big Daddy/Little Sister cosplay was taken at the Georgia Aquarium by Harrison Krix, who made the Big Daddy suit and Little Sister ADAM syringe. He’s also IN the suit, and that’s his fiancee [...]

In Wired, an article written by Brandon Keim looks at what wacky stuff neuroscientist David Tank has been up to. As a Princeton neuroscientist, Tank wanted to study individual neurons in a mouse’s hippocamus as it moves. But the mouse actually moving around made it difficult to take accurate readings, since the little buggers jump [...]

This Fallout 3 replica AER9 Laser Rifle may just be a wood-based fake, but when the nuclear bombs destroy most life on Earth and everyone is either a skin-flapping mutant or bloodthirsty pirate raider, it’ll get you the cash/women/water you desire. Just make sure nobody every expects you to actually fire the thing, you gotta [...]

We’re not making this up. It’d be cool if we were, but we’re just totally stoked that our favorite catchphrase-spewing Mohawk-strutting muscleman with a heart of gold (and ’80s action hero) is finally getting the game he deserves. Coming to PC, PS3 and 360 and based on the range of graphic novels about Mr. T, [...]

It’s that time of year again. The time when you break open the savings account, beg the easier parent and consider pimping your significant other or least-favourite sibling (not recommended) to afford that upgrade you’ve been putting off for the last six months. It’s time for you to scrounge your camping supplies, book those plane [...]

The Nazi Zombies are back! Call of Duty: World at War‘s first map pack is now available for download for PC, for free. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the map pack have been available since March, but PC gamers have had to patiently wait for the map pack while our console brethren have [...]

Historically, migration between genres has been more or less synonymous with misadventure. Much like Paris Hilton’s music career, for example, it’s generally better to play to your strengths than risk it all with an insipid, insignificant fumble in some other direction. Of course, one might argue that whatever it was she was doing before was [...]

It’s difficult to review Watchmen without resorting to “Just go out and buy it right now”, but keep those words on your mind at all times while reading this. Watchmen is the product of the legendary Andy Moore’s writing and Dave Gibbons’s artwork. Both are veterans in their fields and responsible for titles such as [...]

Those of you who played through the first F.E.A.R. will remember that earth-shattering explosion that took place at the end of the game. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin begins a short while before that explosion rocks the F.E.A.R. universe, placing you in the shoes of Sergeant Michael Becket (the Point Man, the protagonist from the original, [...]

The Divine Comedy, written early in the 14th century by Dante Alighieri, is an epic poem detailing a medieval view of the afterlife. Inferno, the first part of this work, describes the horrifying nature of hell and the punishment that sinners can expect. EA Redwood Shores (the same developers that brought us Dead Space) are [...]
