As we inch closer towards Metro: Last Light’s March launch date, THQ is ramping up marketing for the game, releasing a handful of live-action trailers. In the brand new Genesis trailer, THQ takes a different approach, showing off the stunning visuals and gameplay of the Metro 2033 successor. Unlike the Enter The Metro short film or The Preacher trailer, everything about the Genesis trailer is taken in-game. The latest Metro: Last Light trailer begins with main character Artyom narrating one of the Genesis stories from the Christian Bible, contrasting it with the dark imagery of the Metro universe....

PopCap Games’ Plants vs. Zombies might’ve started as a quirky tower defense game, but over time it’s become a legitimate multimedia empire. Not only has the original title been ported to every platform under the sun, but it spawned a microtransaction-laden sequel and multiplayer-oriented shooter, as well as a successful line of plushies, t-shirts, children’s books, toys, and board games. And now, if user “killarki” has anything to say about it, Plants vs....

Video game development is an incredibly stressful process for their creators. No matter what the scale, most have deadlines and go through a massive crunch period right before the game must be delivered. These periods are called ‘crunch time’ because it is the part of development where a production team tries to cram all their work in an unreasonably short amount of time in a mad dash to the finish. Students who have ever left a lot of work on a school or university assignment with only a few days to go will be familiar with this stress laden process....

Ryse: Son of Rome’s unveiling at E3 this summer was met with mixed reception. It looked pretty, but critics who got hands on with it shared concerns about the game’s combat and structure. Ryse has since received a lot of grief in forums and comment sections from gamers about appearing too linear and reliant on quick-time events. Crytek is no stranger to graphical excellence and have built their reputation on some of the prettiest games of the time....

Plenty of games cater to a love for big, noisy destruction and mayhem, but the number of stealth games released each year is comparatively a lot smaller. As such, Eidos Montreal’s upcoming Thief reboot has been eyed with interest by those with a love for sneaking in the shadows. Thief is set for release later this month and Eidos Montreal has just announced that the game has gone gold, with producer Stéphane Roy proclaiming that, “It’s nearly time for the fans to fall in love with Thief all over again....

About a decade ago, gamers would be hard pressed to find one, let alone two, worthwhile games to play during the early months of the year. With many consumers still recovering from the holiday rush, financials were tight and any free time available was dedicated to the prior year’s fall releases. Since that time, however, a lot has changed. Now, the early months of the year, especially March, have proven to be equally as lucrative to developers and publishers, and as a result some of the biggest titles of the year oftentimes hit during that window....

While the world continues to endure the impact of COVID-19, the video game developer of American Truck Simulator: Colorado wanted to reflect some of the good news that’s happening. SCS Software wanted to share the hope of the CVOID-19 vaccines with its players in American Truck Simulator’s latest event. As announced this week, SCS will be hosting an event in American Truck Simulator: Colorado called Hauling Hope. In this event, players will be driving trucks containing the COVID-19 vaccines to people in need....

After the reveal of the WWE ‘12 roster, THQ had one more big announcement for the millions of fans that nobody could have smelled cookin’. THQ announced that this year there will be a special edition of their wrestling title - which isn’t revolutionary since it has happened on-and-off in the past few years. This year, however, fans actually get to decide who will grace the cover of the WWE ‘12 Collector’s Edition....

Funko is a company best known for producing those adorable little vinyl figurines known as Funko Pops. They’re toys made in the likenesses of characters from pop culture, and since their creation, Funko has covered pretty much everything from comic villains and heroes to Harry Potter characters, with their main focus being fantasy characters. Even if you hadn’t heard of Funko Pops, you’d probably look at one of them and be like, “oh, those!...

Creatures are one of the most integral part of Magic: The Gathering. One of the primary sources of a deck’s damage output, the strength of many creature’s lies in their abilities. However, one of the most often overlooked elements of creatures in Magic is their toughness. A creature’s toughness is simultaneously it’s defense and it’s health, as once a creature sustains an amount of damage equal to it’s toughness, it dies....

Who says action heroes stay inside television screens and the theaters? Thanks to action games, players can become heroes in their own action-packed stories themselves. Various action genres allow players to experience stories in a wide variety of situations. For instance, Tomb Raider takes players on a globe-trotting journey to search for artifacts. Meanwhile, Devil May Cry gives a stylish take on hunting down demons. Other action titles from years - or even decades - back actually made a huge mark on the hearts of some hardcore fans....

As a game franchise goes on, it’s not unusual for its genre to shift and change a bit over time in order to keep a series fresh or modern. At the same time, game companies will often use spin-offs as an excuse to take an existing IP and try wild new things with it, from putting Mario in a go kart to putting Crash Bandicoot… in a go kart. In all seriousness, there are a lot of different and unexpected genres that franchises have been spun off into, including fighting games....

It can be easy to forget just how important difficulty is in gaming. If a game is too easy or too difficult, players can quickly lose interest and subsequently put a game down and never boot it up again. This is why difficulty levels are such a common mechanic in mainstream gaming, as they ensure that players of all skill levels can have an enjoyable experience. Although most players are happy to stick to normal mode, some enjoy truly testing their abilities and ramp the difficulty up to its highest setting....

Unlike other post-apocalyptic survival games, playing The Last of Us and Part II always requires a little bit of stealth skill. Collectibles, parts, and ammo are pretty much hard to come by, leaving the players no choice but to save their bullets for the more significant occasion. Thankfully for them, The Last of Us features a “listen mode” which allows the characters to highlight an incoming human enemy or infected using their spatial awareness....

Halloween is set to be a lot different this year, but that likely won’t stop people from dressing up for virtual parties and to watch horror movies at home. Fortunately for gamers, there has been a gold mine of great characters this year to choose to dress up as; some characters, however, got way more popular than anyone could have seen coming. In fact, some game-like Animal Crossing basically took over social media networks for months on end, making them a guaranteed costume that fans will see while scrolling their newsfeed this holiday season....

For those just itching to spend their time looting, plundering and overusing the sort-of-word “yaaarrrrgh,” Ubisoft has just released a few doubloons worth of information about their upcoming game, Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. This comes in the form of a new trailer as well as the reveal for the limited edition version of the game. While this certainly isn’t the first bit of footage we’ve seen from the game, and it won’t likely be the last video shown before release, this trailer does dwell more on the idea of the pirate....

While news is just rolling in regarding Battlefield 4 and its multiplayer beta, which players can participate in if they pre-order Medal of Honor: Warfighter, it has now been revealed when that testing phase for DICE’s highly anticipated sequel might take place. According to an EA employee, who was operating under some anonymity on Reddit, the Battlefield 4 beta should roll out in the Fall of next year. Drawing from last year’s Battlefield 3 beta as a point of comparison, that would lead us to believe the release of Battlefield 4 should be during the holiday season of 2013....

Finnish developer Housemarque plans to release some new content for their PSN exclusive Dead Nation.
