What's in store for this F2P MMO?
The dismal critical response to Duke Nukem Forever (51 score on aggregator Metacritic) isn't deterring Take-Two and Gearbox. The publisher has already labeled the game profitable, and the developer says another game in the franchise is on the way. And according to the rumor mill, that game will be the formerly canceled origin story, Duke Begins. Read More »

Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg extended the olive branch to rival Electronic Arts at Gamescom, publicly calling for an end to the mudslinging between the two publishers over Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 versus Battlefield 3.

Deus Ex is a game defined by player agency. Where other games only promise freedom of choice, Deus Ex delivers it. This makes Human Revolution a very interesting game to review – one reviewer might take the Commando path, blasting everything in sight, while the next prefers to approach it from a stealthy perspective, keeping to the shadows and remaining unseen. Which version do you review? Our solution was to get two reviewers to deliver their verdict, each taking a wildly different approach. Read on to see just how different the game can be depending on how you choose to play. Read More »
Star Wars: The Old Republic and Mass Effect 3 are the two next big releases coming from BioWare, but the studio also has another major title on the back burner in Dragon Age III, and according to CEO Dr. Ray Muzyka, the third game in the series will combine the best elements of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II.

Already the world's largest video game convention in terms of attendance, Gamescom grew even bigger in 2011, welcoming an estimated 275,000 visitors through the week ending Sunday, August 21, a 21,000-gamer surge compared to 2010. Read More »
Making its debut at this year's GamesCom, Wildstar is NCSoft's next foray into the increasingly competitive MMORPG arena. A cartoony mash-up of fantasy, science-fiction and a hint of spaghetti Western for good measure, Wildstar is Carbine's flagship product for the future, and the team behind it has a wealth of world-building experience. "You name it, and someone in the building has probably had had a hand in it," Executive Producer Jeremy Gaffney informed our small group of journalists during a presentation at GamesCom. Have they used this experience to build something new, or is it just another rehash of the successful WoW recipe? Read More »
In a blog post on Mojang's official website, Mojang's Carl Manneh announced a partnership with indie developer Oxeye to publish an action-platformer called Cobalt, which both companies plan on showing off at the PAX Prime convention in Seattle, WA later this month.

Publisher Paradox Interactive debuted a new trailer for its upcoming King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame at this week's Gamescom convention. This Neocore-developed strategy/role-playing hybrid tells the story of (surprise!) the legendary King Arthur, whose kingdom of Camelot spirals into ruin when the Holy Grail is destroyed and monstrous armies begin flowing forth from a strange black gate. And if this new trailer's anything to go by, the combat in King Arthur II unfolds on a pretty freakin' massive scale! Hit the jump and check it out. Read More »
At this year's GamesCom, the behemoth that is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is finally finding its dominance challenged by Battlefield 3. There were two comparable demos available for both games; BF3 was showing off elements of its newly revealed co-op campaign behind closed doors as well as 64-player multiplayer on the show floor, while Modern Warfare was presenting two demos of its Spec Ops co-op mission and survival modes. Both featured two-player co-op in urban environments, though the actual implementation differed hugely. Daniel Griliopoulos got hands-on time with both, to find out which one had the most impressive GamesCom presence. Read More »
I was fortunate enough to see Guild Wars 2 back in February, and you'll probably be surprised to hear that I left the encounter intensely underwhelmed. So when I took the game for another spin today at GamesCom, I was taken by surprise by the stirring of interest that soon turned into full blown enthusiasm for the game. Read on to see why my most recent demo has made me reconsider that GW2 might not be "just another MMO". Read More »
The first gameplay clips of DOTA 2 -- Valve Software's sequel to the hit Warcraft III mod, Defense of the Ancients -- debuted at this week's Germany-based Gamescom convention. For those who never played the original DOTA (or its spiritual successors, League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth), we've broken these quick clips down for you, to show you just how a multiplayer online battle arena (or MOBA, for short) game works.

BioWare is throwing a change-up into the Star Wars: The Old Republic PvP mix, with a no-holds-barred sport that would make Jabba proud. It's called Huttball, and you can see it in all its brutal glory in a new trailer. Read More »
