With the end of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 crawling slowly out the back of 2014, one can expect to see how 13 years would come to a close. Throughout the ages, each generation of video game console would flush the void of it bowels and find one or two gems that usually pushes the boundaries so far, one wonders how so many developers failed to put out something as good a lot sooner.
Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series has always been a crowd...

Dust 514 from Icelandic developer, CCP Games is touted to be the future of MMOG because it is indirectly linked to the other MMOG, EVE Online. Not that I care, but that link could spell doom for Dust sooner than it settles.
Dust was suppose to be a game changer of sorts but even after it was launched, it became apparent that it is nothing more than cheap freemium masquerading as a MMOG.
Having played the mercenary events, I couldn't help but...

Critically acclaimed, Sleeping Dogs is going to sell about 3 million copies at retail in total for year end 2013. That's a real poor performer and you wonder why a game like that could bomb so badly when GTA games rake in billions in revenue.
Wait a minute, what the heck is Grand Theft Auto being brought into the picture? Didn't everyone say that Sleeping Dogs was highly original? Well now you know.
Sleeping Dogs is in essence a GTA rip...

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn gets an early launch. This so-called rebirth sees a complete revamp of the game, with a focus on retro style RPG game play.
The early launch offers plenty of challenges coupled with the fact that this is SquareEnix's flagship title.

Largely touted as a 'next gen' MMORPG, Black Desert developers, Pearl Abyss shows off their 'large scale sandbox oriented' game with a 22 minute walk through that displays some pretty good next gen graphics but nothing new that we haven't seen in every standard MMORPG. But who cares about game play when you've got nice graphics, right?

Do you like Hungarian? I bet you do once you tried Sine Mora. It's one of those tribute side to side scrolling shoot'em ups which were all the rage in 1980s arcade parlors.
There has always been a demand for a good shooting game but of late, the varieties that seem to be popping up seem rather pale. Where are the R-types and Side Arms look alike when you need them? Hell, where are heroes who would push the envelop of style and playability?

Back in November 2012, the eagerly anticipated Hitman series was jump started by Square Enix to compensate for it's lack of mojo over the years—giving credence that Agent 47 may have contracted cancer and had to get a dose of Chemotherapy. That said, it wasn't entirely a good idea as the new team that developed it took too much creative license to make a turgid and long winded game which tested the nerve of players.
Now the game...

the PS2 version's console-specific character, Heihachi of Tekken
infamy.
No word on whether Spawn (the Xbox version's exclusive...

Michael Brookes, the producer of Elite: Dangerous, has revealed the first screenshots of the million pound Kickstarter project showing the Cobra class MK. 3 blasting through the infamous trench of the Death Star from the movie Star Wars.
