Hideo Kojima seems to be getting off on deceiving the industry lately; his ambitious stratagem for the 'Metal Gear Solid' franchise again riddled with more guile - but just briefly this time. Thanks in large part to a highly anticipated panel at last week's GDC, we're able to decipher the inner-workings of (possibly) the most ambitious and controversial projects by Kojima Productions. M... more.

Arguably one of the oddest pairings I've seen in the gaming world -- the fine folks at Capcom and Valve are working together to do a Left 4 Dead 2 and Resident Evil 6 crossover. First off they are adding the four iconic Left 4 Dead 2 characters; Coach, Rochelle, Ellis, and Nick to Resident Evil 6 for the PC, in the PC-exclusive mode -- The Mercenaries No Mercy, but are also adding two of the in... more.

The last time we spoke of THIEF, we told you the April issue of Game Informer will feature an exclusive on the re-invention of the series for next-gen consoles, but unfortunately all we had was shot of from the GI cover. That is until a Russian gaming site posted 15 unseen screens as of the announcement. Although the print issue of GI goes out in a couple weeks, they could have been pulled ea... more.

"In the last generation the perception was that it was going to be a ten times improvement over the previous generation." Neil Thompson is one of the most respected, and probably one of the most under-rated artist in the gaming industry. Currently directing Bioware's Art and Animation division, his 25 years in a young market has earned him many accolades - almost too many to list them all here... more.

[UPDATE] It's official, Ubisoft has come out and announced that the next Assassin's Creed will indeed be named Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. There are no details on the title yet, but they did release the first 'official' artwork from the title, which is below. For those of you interested, IGN will be doing a live stream of the game announcement on Monday, March 4th at 9:00 a.m. Pacific. Also,... more.

-We May Not Have To Wait For E3- Sony's unconventionally early PS4 unveiling immediately jump-started Microsoft into a reaction, or so it may seem. After the late night teaser unfolded, representatives of the industry (including affiliates to Microsoft and Sony) anonymously conceded to writers, and other curious people (like myself) that Microsoft plans to follow suit and tear away their black ... more.

If you follow us on Twitter, you probably saw the 20 or so Tweets I sent yesterday afternoon as the show was being broadcast live to over 3.5 million people. (if you don't follow us on Twitter, shame on you!) I was going to do a show recap last night, but there ended up being far more reveals than I anticipated -- so let's get them covered today. Andrew House The show started off with a nice ... more.

If you'd like to watch the Sony Press Conference live, it's available below. A few things I hope to see would definitely be: PS4 Announcement, Battlefield 4, and the announcement that the PS4 WILL support backwards-compatibility with the PS3. (please for the love of Pete!) Live Stream Start-Time. 3:00PM PST 5:00PM CST 6:00PM EST Live stream by Ustream... more.

Hmm, interesting turn of events. Apparently a trusted Kotaku source has informed Kotaku that the new PS4, codenamed Orbis, will not only be launching this year (November), but will also be available at (roughly) $429 and $529. The first thing that becomes readily apparent is that there will be at least two models available at launch. Though the information from the source doesn't give us much t... more.

It's widely known in the hardware world that AMD has been coming on stronger and stronger with each passing generation. With their latest revision of the AMD Radeon HD7970 (Ghz) they have officially taken the single GPU graphics crown from Nvidia's own GTX 680 in 99% of tests. Nvidia is a company that doesn't take kindly to being passed up at.. Well anything. With that said, they officially b... more.

Today has brought the release of two titles that have been received with very mixed emotions since their announcement. On the console-exclusive side you have Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance.. (that word is dumb) The other, Crysis 3. Both games were initially met with enthusiasm and hope. Fans clamoring for a return to form for Crysis, and to see a new perspective for Metal Gear. Well, both gam... more.

Holodeck technology is the stuff of a Nerd's dream. I know for certain that I have often dreamt about how awesome it would be the have Holodeck technology made available to us. Sure if the tech ever does become a thing of reality, it will be reserved for the elite and the rich, but as with all things that are not within our grasp -- eventually, it will come down to an affordable price range, ei... more.

Amidst all of the recent violence in video game arguments, it seems appropriate that an upcoming game would bring a statue of a beheaded/bikini clad bloody stump to the table. That's exactly what Deep Silver is bringing to the table with the special edition release of their upcoming title 'Dead Island: Riptide.' Along with a steel book case, some collector's artwork and a weapon DLC pack will ... more.

Hey Guys and Gal.. I know it's been awhile since any of you have seen anything from me outside of the Hardware Section.. In fact you haven't seen a lot of any of us over the last few weeks. Fear not, for we have not abandoned you, in fact, we're simply trying to get everything up to par again. As I'm sure many of you have noticed, the website has been quite sluggish recently. Well that also causes... more.
