Exploring gorgeous environments.
GameSpy... in spaaaaaaace.

My father is about to turn 69 years old. He spent decades in the corrugated paper business, he's the biggest automotive gearhead I've ever known, and -- beyond the Intellivision years -- he never had much of an interest in video games. Four years ago, when he retired, that changed. These days, he maintains a stack of Xbox 360 games that rivals my own. He's clocked countless hours in the most hardcore role-playing games that the system has to offer. And his obsessive-gamer nature... well, let's just say it runs in the family. So, I recently sat down with my dear old dad to pick his brain about all things game-related -- let's see how the mind of a golden-years gamer works, shall we? Read More »

I was impressed by Eidos Montreal's sequel when I had the chance to check it out during last year's E3 Expo, but it was tough for me to really get a feel for the game from the relatively short, talk-heavy demo on display. That's part of the reason I was so excited to check out Human Revolution during a recent visit from Square Enix, as I knew I'd be getting a deeper look at not only the game's combat system, but the all-important level of choice that the game affords players.

Earlier this week, the folks at Treyarch and Activision released Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation, the Xbox 360-exclusive map pack that contains four new multiplayer maps and a new zombie mode called "Call of the Dead." Perhaps not surprisingly, Black Ops fans everywhere snatched it up as soon as it became available, but we here at GameSpy know there's got to be some of you that just didn't have the time or the coin to grab it yet. That's where we come in. Read More »
