Oooohhhh yeaaahhh!!! It's a beautiful thing when you can conquer a world with only two wheels, especially after Redlynx upped the graphics and the level of difficulty in the latest incarnation of the Trials series.
Double Fine is one company to never worry about when it comes to trying something different, whether it's combining action gaming with RTS elements (Brutal Legend) or making an adventure game starring matryoshka dolls (Stacking). For their next venture Double Fine has hired the legendary Ron Gilbert, whose work in Maniac Mansion and the original Monkey Island series is renowned for its combination of unique gameplay mechanics with highly entertaining storytelling. When the two forces combined they created The Cave, a side-scrolling adventure game that promises to challenge your brain and tickle your funny bone at the same time.
In the past year SEGA has been on quite the good streak when it comes to listening to fan feedback. They first took note of what people had issue with in Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode I, and fixed them in the much-improved Episode II in the series.

It was a surprise when I discovered this game two months before it came out.

Then out of left field came Sniper Elite V2, which really upped the ante on the bullet time mechanics!
When it comes to space war-styled gaming, the key to success is always found in the way one bases their maneuvers on. Such is the case of Strikefleet Omega, a new (and free) real-time strategy game released for the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android devices.
PAX East in Boston is known for giving a hand to help spread the word about indie developers and the games they are creating. Now two organizations are partnering up to bring event solely to promote these under-the-radar titles.
The wait is finally over, and believe me my patience was wearing wicked thin (yes Bostonian accent applied). Ghost Recon: Future Solider is a game I have been waiting for this game since seeing the first video in 2010. My official word: the wait was worth it.
