Wayne Rooney is psyched about this game -- should you be? Let's take to the pitch and see what FIFA Soccer 12 has to offer.

After two E3 shows it has finally arrived. Let's begin.

To call X-Men: Destiny (XD) rough around the edges would be just shy of generous, but kind nonetheless. Still, despite fighting itself the whole way, XD manages to have its moments and offers a decent experience.

White Knight Chronicles II is a JRPG with western influences. It not only includes the next five chapters of the White Knight story, but also a re-mastered version of the original White Knight Chronicles. All told, this is a thoroughly enjoyable JRPG with a great online and offline presence.

Every bit as fun as the other Resistance titles, Resistance 3 (R3) is not only the best entry into the series to date, it's also the definition of a AAA FPS.

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine is one of the best third person experiences I've played this year, combining a strong campaign with a good online mode that is going to expand for free next month with DLC that enables co-op. Even without that future DLC, Relic has taken the Warhammer 40k universe out of PC-only, RTS territory, to an engaging third person romp on consoles.

HD collections are quickly becoming something the PS3 is becoming known for. I'm a big fan of these re-releases, which include storied franchises such as Tomb Raider, Sly Cooper, Prince of Persia, and several others either out now or soon to be released. No HD collection had me quite as excited as God of War: Origins Collection when it was announced at E3, though. Featuring HD-ified versions of th...[Read More]

There is quite a bit going on in Dead Island. Like Dead Rising 2, it features outlandish weapon creation amidst unending hoards of zombies. It boasts a massive, incredible open world to explore and absorb, along with over one hundred quests to undertake, calling to mind Fallout 3 or Oblivion. Loot is color coded based on effectiveness and rarity, and you can play four different classes with up to ...[Read More]

We're in hot pursuit of: super-natural abilities, crazy car stunts, and loads of fun!  From Ubisoft and Ubisoft Reflections comes the latest incarnation from the storied franchise of being "the wheelman" with a "crazier, the better" mentality.  And although the online is too insane to be considered serious, the expansive modes and killer single player make this a welcome retreat from the Gran Turi...[Read More]

It’s hard to find a pair of games held in higher regard than Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Fumito Ueda and his colleagues at Team Ico sketched two master strokes that not only illustrated the fundamental difference between Eastern and Western design, but also captured to former at the pinnacle of its influence. It’s been six years since Team Ico’s last release and both critics ...[Read More]

Dear DeathSpank, I have to say, I did not expect to see you again. We had a blast last summer, and even though you showed up again, almost completely by surprise, last fall, I figured it would be a couple of years before you graced us with your witty brand of hack ‘n slash. Still, having played completely through your newest adventure, The Baconing, I can’t say I was unhappy to see you. Oh, ...[Read More]

After a few minutes into chapter one of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, my controller was sitting idle. Not unlike the first time I got my hands on BioShock, I had failed to notice the line where a cut scene had ended and a playable game had started. BioShock’s aquatic plane crash executed this moment by seeming too real to actually be something playable. El Shaddai arrested my attent...[Read More]
