Every once in a while you find a game that feels like it was directly catered to your interests, almost as if the developers had peered into your brain and found the exact switches to trigger the anticipation. While I…

Way back when the PS3 launched, Resistance: Fall of Man launched with it. The first Resistance was a solid launch title, and it attracted the coveted first person shooter fans to the PS3. Here we are just two years later,…

Game designer Cliff Bleszinski stated earlier this year at the Games Developer Conference that Gears of War 2 would be “bigger, better, and more badass,” leaving the question of how to improve on an already fantastic game and how they could…
