Game Type: Optical Disc

Spawned from a classic series by the same name, Fallout 3 emerges from the studios of Bethesda Softworks and onto next generation consoles.  Fans of the series have been half-hearted about its release.  They have been suspect about if the game keeps the heart and soul of the series intact.  They have been anxiously awaiting its release (which was on October 28th) to see what has become of the series in its third installment.  The verdict?  We can't tell you yet.  Read on...

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society...

  Sony's trade show darling finally arrives.  Is it worth the hype?  You better believe it.  

The Wii original migrates to PC with sharper visuals and a wider variety of content.

One of the most revered RPGs of this generation finally comes to the PS3 with new content in the form of additional quests, music, and characters. I missed the game the first time it came around on the Xbox 360 last year, but I'm sure glad that Namco Bandai Games decided to release Eternal Sonata on the PS3, giving PS3 owners the chance to play this rather charming RPG.

Rockstar Games has quite a portfolio of work but we haven't heard from one of their long time franchises in this gen until now. The Midnight Club series, known for it's free roaming, urban underground racing prowess, makes its first appearance on the Xbox 360 and PS3 in the form of Midnight Club LA. Overall, it's a very solid title, but some drawbacks keep it from being an absolute must-have.

Are you the type of person who sings along to all your favorite pop songs in your car, in the shower, or even in your cubicle at work? Do you swear that if you could only just get your big break, that you would be the next big thing? Do you watch television shows like America's Got Talent, and American Idol and get frustrated that no talent hacks make it further than a sing star like you? Am I asking too many questions? Perhaps you just love karaoke. Whatever your reason is, SingStar Pop Volume 2 is now out for the PlayStation 2 console.  

I had a great time with two friends last year as we played through our NBA 2K8 season over the course of several months. We've been looking forward to NBA 2K9 since, and now it's finally here, and our new season has begun. The best game for NBA simulation continues to improve upon itself and this year is no exception.  

Somewhere in between Madden and Mutant League Football lies Midway's Blitz series. This long running series of fictional players and football teams in a brutal, no holds barred league is making its second appearance now on the Xbox 360 in the form of Blitz The League II. The hits are more brutal and the action more over the top than ever, but is the overall experience worth the purchase?  

Sony's San Diego studios returns this year with their next NBA PSP game. We ran a preview article recently on the site, and we've since gotten the game in for review. This year's iteration, NBA 09: The Inside, features more mini-games and refinements than any previous year, as well as the introduction of a Franchise mode for the first time.  

When your retired father's paradise island is under duress from environmentally unfriendly people, it's up to you, his son (or daughter) to grab your pipe wrench and get busy. This is the basic story behind Pipe Mania, a new game by Empire Interactive based off an old puzzler they released in 1989 named Pipe Dreams.

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl was a fantastic game despite being delayed for years and being released buggy. For anyone that stuck with the experience, it proved to be wonderfully immersive and hard hard to put down. Now, GSC Game World has released the prequel expansion pack, set in 2011, one year before the events of Shadow of Chernobyl (SoC). There are some significant changes, both positive and negative...

Have you heard of Enki Bilal or his graphic novels? Neither have I, but now having played through Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals, I'm much more interested in the Nikopol trilogy he penned in the late 80s and early 90s. Had I read these before playing Secrets of the Immortals, I'm sure the story would have made more sense, but believe me, even with no knowledge of the author or is work, Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals is still a tremendously enjoyable adventure game that you shouldn't miss.

I've always respected the Armored Core series. It has never disappointed, but there are times it certainly has been a bit less than expected. When the series made its way to the Playstation 2 platform, it lacked a punch. I'm not sure how to describe it, but all the elements were there, but it never pushed through the barrier of extraordinary. Fast-forward to September 16th, 2008 and you have Ubisoft's next installment of the series out for fans. Armored Core For Answers is both exciting, exhilarating, but also still missing something. Read on for more answers (no pun intended). Looking for all the right answers (pun intended) The gameplay for this installment of Armored Core can be split in two ways: Simple and Complicated. Mom always said that you should say the good before the bad, so here goes. The missions for the game are simple in nature, but there is a gradual difficulty to them as you continue to get better and better. I think that the missions are very straight forward with purpose. They kind of reminded me of the missions from an ancient...
