Are you looking forward to some upcoming games in 2013? Well as you know Metro: Last Light is going to be one big game that releases next year. I’ll be honest that I already have a list of games I must check out on day one. As you guessed this has  made it on that list. You’ve learned in past videos what has caused the end of the world along with a little bit of gameplay from the game. Today, THQ has released a new video known as the “Genesis” trailer. What does it feature? We’ll you’ll need to watch the video below to find out. I can state that it’s very dark and might pull you in a bit more. Who doesn’t want a game that might have you jump out of your chair? Read the full story

In part 3 of our Darksiders II preview coverage I’ll be looking at the combat mechanics of the game, both in the context of the game as a whole and as a creature unto itself. Read the full story

Today, in continuation of our Darksiders II coverage (see part one here), I will be going over what may be the most addicting and, to me, the most appealing portion of Darksiders II: the character customization.

Melding an action game with aspects of the RPG genre is not exactly a new idea. We’ve seen more and more of it over the last 5 years, to varying degrees of success, but there is still a wide gulf between a traditional role playing game and action games. Hearing that a game has “RPG elements” typically makes me gag; not because I don’t like the concept, but because every other game seems to use that buzz phrase to garner attention. I was less than excited to see what Vigil offered up when I heard this. Read the full story

When I reviewed Darksiders back in 2010, I was pleasantly surprised. As my memories of the game aged, what stuck with me was the untouched potential behind the game and the mythos surrounding it. The initial showings for Darksiders II did nothing to make me feel that there would be any dramatic improvement this time around, and while I held out hope that I might be surprised, my attention shifted to other upcoming titles. Well, I was able to sit down with Darksiders II for two full days, diving in to nearly every aspect of the game, and my every hesitation was promptly destroyed. Read the full story

Early last month, THQ announced an expansion to Volition’s wildly popular dildo-bat simulator, Saints Row: The Third. This expansion, titled “Enter the Dominatrix,” has as of today been canceled. Yes, you read that right: canceled. That being said, have no fear, Saints Row fans. The now-canceled Enter the Dominatrix content will be incorporated into the next Saints Row game, title “The Next Great Sequel in the Saints Row Franchise.” Yes, it’s a bit of a mouthful, but it fits the quirky nature of the Saints Row property.
