Although many great games exist to tell a set story, there’s an increasing amount of games on the market that want to further include the player in their narrative by giving them to power of choice. Through their actions and the different decisions they might make during the story, they’ll end up with a different ending, which in turn encourages players to start over to experience all the storylines. Many games incorporate this mechanism into their stories these days, with some having more than fifty different endings....

Who doesn’t love the unique blend of dinosaurs, fantasy creatures, and sci-fi elements packaged together into this unique gaming experience?

Warhammer 40,000 is one of the most popular tabletop war games, and is a game with some of the most over the top lore in the history of gaming. To say that Warhammer is a game characterized by excess would be a dramatic understatement. This is a game featuring magical psychic space orks, and technologically advanced hedonistic elves, and a cult that worships technology on Mars. Between the vast array of ludicrous factions in Warhammer, there are still many existing factions in the game’s lore and smaller sub-factions that still cannot be played as full armies....

When in the midst of a PR nightmare sometimes it’s best to hope everything just works itself out. Case in point: Dead Space 3 and its weapon crafting system. While gamers were up in arms over the weapon crafting system supporting micro transactions — seemingly to offer a leg up in the game early — a solution has been found that lets gamers farm crafting resources. It appeared to be a glitch and not necessarily an intentional scenario, so gamers began farming those precious gun-crafting resources as fast as they could....

HBO viewers are still a few weeks away from the season premiere of Game of Thrones and it has been a long nine months since the season four cliffhanger.

Game Rant’s Brian Sipple reviews Max Payne 3 Some people can’t catch a break; some can’t have one drift within the ballpark. Max Payne is the perfect embodiment of the latter. The kind of guy who would throw a whiskey glass against the wall after a hellish day at work, only to have the glass bounce off in defiance, as unbroken as the despair of the man who launched it....

Although there were some pretty landmark sales and acquisitions in 2014, the one that easily stands out as the biggest was Microsoft acquiring Minecraft for $2.5B. As one of the biggest, and most lucrative, game franchises around, Minecraft represents a huge “get” for Microsoft and puts the company on track for great success in the future. At the same time, though, many Minecraft fans wondered whether the sale to Microsoft was the right move for developer Mojang....

Even though Activision has been neglecting their DLC calendar for Modern Warfare 3, Executive Producer Mark Rubin has taken it upon himself to reveal the next content drop for the game. Unfortunately, what Rubin revealed wasn’t the classic maps gamers were expecting, but is nonetheless some pretty robust content. As part of June’s content drop, which should release tomorrow for Xbox 360 Call of Duty Elite Premium members, Infinity Ward is rolling out a new Spec Ops mission (Arctic Recon) and three new maps for the new Face Off mode....

Xbox 360 players have been enjoying the Skyrim DLC add-on “Dawnguard” for over a month now - as a result of a Microsoft timed-exclusive on the title’s first two post-release expansions. While that second piece of DLC still waits to be announced, plenty of PS3 and PC gamers are clambering to get their hands on “Dawnguard” (read our review) - with no firm timeframe as to when the add-on will appear on a non-Microsoft system....

As the complexity of games increases and intended scope begins to exceed the limits of modern technology, QA testing is becoming a more and more lengthy part of the development process. It’s one thing to dream up a menagerie of gameplay mechanics and AI interactions, but ensuring that they play well with each other is another thing entirely. Given the incredible scope that has been promised of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt it should come as no surprise that the process for it has been equally time-consuming....

Activision teamed with Silicon Knights, developers of Too Human, to bring fans the first true X-Men video game in six years, not including the movie tie-ins.

After a mediocre demo at E3 2011 and concern about the visual presentation and concept behind X-Men: Destiny, has Silicon Knights delivered the quality Marvel video game fans have been clamoring for?...
