Honestly, this game's AI is incredibly smart and I often found games against bots, frequently harder than those against players No mistaking it though, this is a game that is meant to played with multiple people. There are 12 hunters in the game, all with different abilities Each has a defined personality and abillities, but none[...]

Mario and Luigi have to shift their weight somehow in between games. In case you missed it, the New 3DS launched yesterday, bringing a whole slew of new features to the aged handheld.

The Assassin's Creed movie is really starting to shape up quite well. I think things are looking quite promising for the production and it could finally

There are too many and they're oversaturating the market with content gamers have already played. On the other hand, I've also said that I don't mind great games that failed to find a deserved audience, taking a second stab at the apple with a rerelease Darksiders II is probably one of the best examples of one of[...]

The horror game looks to be shaping up, and this trailer actually gives away a nice bit of story that has been lacking from previous ones. Check it out here: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enh7JYFC0y0[/youtube] Thanks GamesHQMedia for the embed. I'm[...]

I've never really been in a super fast car. There was that time I went 100mph in the Batman Tumbler around the Top Gear track, but that is all. If this

In my mind those are all Q4 games Christmas would be a little crowded for Ubisoft if they all fell around there Of course, any of those could be delayed I'd bet at least one of those falls out of that window. It's worth noting that the company's profits also grew substantially in 2014, as it[...]
