1944: Battle of the Bulge is the third iteration in the World War II RTS series from developer Mont ...
Advance WarsTM, the award-winning turn-based strategy game, makes its debut on the Nintendo DS.
In this highly anticipated next installment in the "Age of Empires" franchise from Ensemble Studios, "Age of Empires III" places players in the time period of roughly 1500-1850, picking up where "Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings" left off.
The RTS genre is absolutely packed with classic hits or otherwise quality titles. It isn't a genre that is dictated by how powerful the latest videocard is, or what Shader Model revision we're currently at, it is a genre dictated by quality gameplay which is why it is such a popular genre for lengthy, sleep wrecking intervals of gaming.
Set in the deceptively idyllic town of BrightFalls, Wash., "Alan Wake" immerses players in an intense and expansivecinematic world that enables players to roam freely in hyper-realistic,dynamic and interactive environments.
What do Crash Bandicoot and Blinx have in common? They are both on the Xbox and both are average platform games. Whilst the Playstation 2 has been romping all over the genre with titles such as Ratchet and Clank, the Xbox really has been left wanting. Alter Echo just may change this, its unique, its fun and the graphics are superb.
Amped was an Xbox Launch title and received a moderate response. Two years later we have Amped 2, and in many ways it remains the same as the first one but the new additions push this game from moderately average to impressive. It's still not the best snowboarding game on the market but the improvements have helped significantly.
Music rhythm games are nothing new. Amplitude is a sequel to Frequency, a PS2 game based on timing button presses to music. Frequency is pretty much the same thing albeit with different songs. Harmonix are hoping that a trend continues with Amplitude and whilst its not a very long game, it offers something different for gamers looking for something new and original.

Eidos managed to plumb the depths of the gaming with last year's Backyard Wrestling: Don't Try This At Home, and to just about everyone's surprise, they announced that they were working on a sequel not long after the release of the first game. Who knows, perhaps they spent a lot on the license and felt the need to recoup costs?
Backyard Wrestling is probably not known by many Australians. It has recently been released on DVD but other then that until now it has been in oblivion for the land down under. In fact when this game was first announced we thought Eidos had created a new franchise, and it wasn't until a few months back we found out it was based on an actual show. So does the game hold up in a crowded market place with games such as Smackdown?
Battalion Wars blazes onto Nintendo GameCube with a platoon of real-time strategy (RTS) action.
Batman is a franchise which has been around for quite some time. After countless movies, a cartoon and a few video games we have this new one which introduces a new character to the Batman Universe. What this game is, is a decent arcade beat em up action title which fans of older games such as Double Dragon will enjoy immensely.
Product Overview: Before there were roofs overhead, there were dank, dark caves echoing with the grunts of their prehistoric inhabitants. Before organized crops and farming, every new fruit and berry picked off the tree could either be sweet, delicious sustenance - or deadly poison. Every roar in the distance necessitated tribal unity; every rock shard and broken stick could be a weapon; every flame needed to be preserved. Before there was history, there was “BC.”

Although previously BF1942 has been known for its realistic portrayal of vehicles and weaponry, Secret Weapons strives on the very opposite - the potential and rumoured weapons that each side could have developed. Is this type of gameplay a welcome addition to the ever growing series, or is 'make belief' warfare not in the interest of the BF1942 community.
Blinx is back, andthis time around, he and his time mastering feline companions aren't alone in their quests, as new to Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Spaceis the ability to also control the Hogs of the Tom Tom Gang, which are, as you may have guessed, masters of space.

In some cases the sequel could have best been released as an expansion pack but this is not the case with Colin McRae Rally 04. The developers obviously had some very long nights at the office because what they have produced in twelve months is quite possibly the best rally game ever made.
Here to put all the doubts to rest is Colin McRae Rally 3 for the PC. Sure it has been on consoles now for ages, infact they have 4 already, but PC gamers are patient gamers. Did the waiting pay off?
Nothing beats a really good combat flight simulator, and if you haven't been keeping up to date with the flight sim PC industry, Microsoft have been responsible for many of the classics.

2004 - the year of the FPS? Ok, maybe every year is the year of the FPS for the PC, but 2004 stands out from the pack because not only did we see the sequel to Deus Ex, but we also experienced such new comers as Far Cry, Painkiller, Breedand of course Unreal Tournament 2004.

From the get go, anyone who has played the original FSW will feel right at home with Ten Hammers. The gameplay feels much the same and, like the original FSW, it really doesn't take very long until the heat is turned up in Ten Hammers.
A Developer diary? If I showed you guys how my real diary looks like, you'd be really disappointed, because frankly it is quite boring to read. So when asked to write a short developer diary, my plans to save some time by copying it over from my real one failed miserably.

What came as a surprise was the announcement that it was coming to PS2 - not that surprising however that, rather than cashing in, Rockstar was giving something back to the fans.
Red Dead Revolver by Rockstar was the first game truly set in the wild west which worked well. Although a booming movie business, Westerns haven't really taken the gaming world by storm by any stretch and it has taken two quality developers to show it can be done. Neversoft, best known for their skateboarding exploits, is behind the game and it has taken years of development to produce. It has paid off because despite its flaws, GUN remains one of the best action games on the Xbox.
