Syndicate is a franchise jealously guarded by the old school, when news of the reboot was released many (myself included) doubted it could possibly live up to the originals – well, yesterday I was proved wrong. I’ve had several rounds now on different levels of Syndicate’s four player multiplayer which has become vastly more polished, I can say with great...

With a Nintendo 3DS now residing in my house, I decided that I would go and download the new Resident Evil Revelations demo that just came out. I was a fan of Resident Evil 5, and have slowly started to check into the previous entries in the series, so I really did want to see how this franchise would stack up on this new portable device.

As Japanese gamers dashed to the shops to pick up their brand new PS Vitas this weekend, GGS Gamer sent me to London for a 2 hour play session where I got hands on with the newest edition to the Sony family.

Rockstar has released some new screenshots of some of the weapons available in the upcoming Max Payne 3. I’ve been a fan of the series (though not as big fan as friendly neighborhood Joe) and am definitely looking forward to playing this.

From a Japanese Namco-Bandai stream comes a preview of Ezio (and other characters) from the upcoming Soul Calibur V. Siliconera posted the entire recorded stream (via the Ustream archive), but if you want to check out Ezio, we’ve reposted the video here and you can just fast forward to about the 27:00 minute mark. Soul Calibur V is slated for a Q1 2012...

At this year’s Eurogamer Expo I spent time getting to grips with Awesomenauts, the 2D platformer and DOTA-inspired game from Ronimo games. Better decribed as a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game, Awesomenauts pits teams against each other in a frantic platform environment with the objective of destroying the enemy base. The teams themselves are...

While I had not heard much about the Captain Morgane character or the series, I did know of the series creator, Steve Ince. Steve is the man behind some of the best adventure game stories of all time, including the Broken Sword series. While the games seem to head in different directions, the trademark art and character renderings are similar in both. I had a...
