While my review is forthcoming, it’s no spoiler that Duke Nukem Forever isn’t a Game of the Year contender. Question is, though, what game are we judging? Because the one we are playing clearly isn’t finished. Leaving us to wonder, what game might we have been left with were 3D Realms able to actually complete…

Game designer Fumito Ueda has tweeted a nixed ending that never made it to The Shadow of the Colossus. This is it! Ueda storyboards his games by hand. Shame he didn’t post the image at a larger resolution—not simply because I want to see how different this ending it, but rather, I’d like to look…
Website Cracked ran the same joke last year, but this year, it’s even funnier. Or, depending on your point of view, sadder Is it wrong to predict that there’ll be at least one major award this year for “best iron sights”? And that it won’t be a joke award? The 6 Most Ominous Trends in…
Wizorb, as we’ve shown you before, is an upcoming game in which Breakout meets 16-bit Zelda / Final Fantasy. It looked hot in screens, and looks hotter than hot in motion. The game will (hopefully) be out later this year on PC and the Xbox Live Indie Games Channel.

This is Bob Dylan. And not just any Bob Dylan. Nutty 1970’s Bob Dylan. And he’s…singing a song about Gears of War OK, so it’s not actually Dylan. It’s comedian Liam Lynch. But that’s a mean Dylan impersonation, and also about the most unique Gears of War tribute we’re ever likely to hear. Dylan of…

For years, gamers have developed feelings for characters that don’t exist in the traditionally tangible world. They might look real, but the characters are a composition of art and reality.

Time is one of the most storied magazines the world has ever seen, and while its relevance may have dipped somewhat during the internet era, it’s still seen as a respectable publication. So its first ever video game tie-in is a bit of a disappointment. As a marketing stunt for the upcoming Modern Warfare 3,…
