Burn Zombie Burn! (Review)
For sheer numbers, Burn Zombie Burn is the ultimate zombie game. There can be hundreds of the cartoon corpses on screen at any time – and only one of you to put them down (or two if you’re playing in co-op). It’s essentially an update of SNES classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors but distilled...
Wanted: Weapons of Fate (Review)
Wanted: Weapons of Fate is like a cheeseburger. Okay. Bear with us. There’s nothing clever about it; no technical genius; and certainly nothing especially well-crafted. It’s a game you’ll blaze through in under four hours, with no multiplayer modes to bring you back for more. ...

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - first look (G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra)
Want to make a movie-based game that has a good chance at not sucking? Take a note from publisher Electronic Arts and developer Double Helix Games. Presented with the G.I. Joe license and a chance to make a game tying into the upcoming summer blockbuster movie, they could have attempted to make a brutal...
Just Cause 2 (Just Cause 2)
It would be easy to dismiss Just Cause 2 as a “typical sandbox game, but on a tropical island,” but it would be overlooking a crucial difference: freedom. Now, that also sounds like a synonym for “sandbox” but most sandbox games revolve around a huge world that you can explore,...
Samurai Shodown Anthology (Review)
The great trouble with a lot of SNK games is that due to the exorbitant cost of the Neo Geo consoles and cartridges, pretty much no one got a chance to play them when they first came out. It’s only now, through downloads and retro compilations like this one, that many of us are getting our first...
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra - first look (G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra)
Want to make a movie-based game that has a good chance at not sucking? Take a note from publisher Electronic Arts and developer Double Helix Games. Presented with the G.I. Joe license and a chance to make a game tying into the upcoming summer blockbuster movie, they could have attempted to make a brutal...

Wheelman (Review)
If Vin Diesel wants to turn Wheelman into a movie he’s going to have to stump up a budget of about $5 billion. That should just about cover the hundreds of cars that explode, the thousands of objects that get flattened, and the special effects that allow vehicles to melee attack one another and...
Live From GDC: Serious Games Emerging Trends
Why Batman: Arkham Asylum is better than Splinter Cell, Metal Gear and Devil May Cry (Batman: Arkham Asylum)

Wolfenstein (Wolfenstein)
For many gamers, Wolfenstein 3D was the first great shooter they played. Now, Raven Software’s working on a new Wolfenstein title, the latest next-gen chapter for the series that started it all. But will this modern Wolfenstein really offer fans anything new besides nostalgic memories of the original?...
WWE Legends of WrestleMania (Review)
We assume there are two types of people reading this review: those who haven’t kept up with wrestling but are curious if this new game is worth it and those who are big fans of the SmackDown series and are wondering how the controls stack up. Since you’ve skipped ahead and read the score...
Watchmen: The End is Nigh - PS3 Network (Review)
Watchmen - the comic book - is one of the artistic high points of the form. Watchmen - the movie based on the comic book - is a fairly close reproduction of the graphic novel, with some mostly forgivable divergences. Watchmen: The End is Nigh - the videogame based on the movie based on the comic - is,...
