Sleeping Dogs is a game that, quite honestly, flew below my personal radar for a long time. In fact, outside of the occasional blast of media when it was a True Crime game from Activision, I never paid it any mind. Then Square Enix picked the project up. Then I found out that the title wasn’t

Max Payne 3 is the first game in the trilogy that was not created by Remedy Entertainment. Rockstar Games are the folks responsible for the publishing and development of Max’s newest romp. Don’t worry, the core components that made Max Payne, well, Max Payne remain intact. The terrible puns, the depressing storylines, the action-flick style

Listen up, lovers of adventure gaming, Ron Gilbert and Double Fine! A brand new story is heading your way. The Cave is a 2D take on a 3D world, it features a cast of unique characters and what appears to be elements of puzzle solving, fantasy and science fiction. Hear that? That’s the sound of nerds

Live action trailers for video games, as far as I’m concerned, are never really that good. They don’t do much to show off what’s coming, and it’s for that reason that I always take them lightly. The trailer at the head of this post, however, is engaging. It’s also depressing. The video’s description on YouTube

Far Cry 3, one of the most anticipated titles of 2012, has gotten an announcement trailer for the Insane Edition of the game. Sensitive ears be warned, the trailer uses some pretty strong language. The trailer for Far Cry 3: Insane Edition goes about the announcement in a unique way. When targeting gamers, unique is a

Sanctuary needs you. The demons of hell have spewed forth once more, and the responsibility of repelling them from the mortal realm is yours again. Diablo is back. Diablo III is a well-polished, easily enjoyable, rewarding and intense experience. It will probably be one of the best PC games to launch for years to come,

During the first 24 hours of the game’s availability, Diablo III sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide. That number, according to the press release bringing the news, does not include the free copy of Diablo III that gamers received for signing up for a year of World of Warcraft. Part of the release itself included a

If you’re a Windows Phone user and you’re yet to upgrade your device to Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, then you’ll no longer be able to access the Windows Phone Marketplace. Microsoft had warned Windows Phone users back in April that it would be making fundamental changes to its Marketplace, and that earlier versions of its

The beloved zombie slasher Dead Island is getting its very own Game of the Year edition release. Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition will be available on June 26th and will bundle the game’s original campaign, the Ripper weapon mod add-on, the Bloodbath Arena DLC and the single-player expansion Ryder White. With all of this content stuffed into a disc for only

Remember when computers were enormous and used to cost an arm and a leg? Now you can get a system for less than $50. Via is pushing the envelope with newly announced $49 APC Android PC system. The APC sports a Neo-ITX board with a buffet of input ports including four USB 2.0 ports, an Ethernet

The long-awaited Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Samsung Galaxy Note has begun its rollout in South Korea following a brief touchdown in Europe earlier this month. The software can be downloaded now using Samsung’s Kies desktop application for Mac and PC. In addition to those core Ice Cream Sandwich features — such

Grand Theft Auto IV mods are like the gifts that just keep on giving. We’ve seen some wild stuff go down in Liberty City, and most of it has been at the hands of the community of gamers rather than its developers. R2-D2 descending from the sky, cruising through a pack of civilians and then going

The trailer above is actually made up of mostly (if not entirely) the game footage we had a chance to catch during the eyes-on preview at PAX East in Boston a month or so ago. There’s references to the Alien cannon within; stuff like the lower half of a once whole android. According to the folks

I loved the original Borderlands. The combination of solid first person shooter gameplay, multiplayer gaming and sweet, sweet loot made it one of my favorite games to launch for this generation of consoles. Playing the title, though, left me with two major complaints: the game’s story was terrible and there wasn’t enough diversity. When I

This time around on We Play, we’re taking a look at Sega’s second effort in the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 relaunch. Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II is available now on just about every platform (sans Wii). As I warn in the video, I wouldn’t exactly label myself an expert Sonic player. In fact, I’m terrible. The

I think it would be fairly safe to say that Diablo III has been a popular game. It launched in the wee hours of Tuesday morning this week, and it was met with a wave of errors and downtime for almost everyone trying to play. That, of course, lead to an immense amount of frustration and

Following its big reveal earlier this month, Activision released the premiere teaser trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, which will launch on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC this November. But you can be sure that the teasing won’t stop there. Activision is set to air a second trailer this Saturday, May 19.

For me, one of the worst things about purchasing a new game on Steam is having to wait patiently while it downloads to my computer; it’s all precious time that could be spent actually playing the game. But now you can begin downloading titles from your Android or iOS devices while you’re at work or

Have you ever had your heart set on downloading a new game from Steam, only to remember that you don’t have a credit card to place your order? Well, GameStop just might have your solution. You can now purchase Steam Wallet game vouchers at GameStop retailers around the country. These vouchers work just like any other redeemable voucher,

UPDATE: Absolutely not. The company guilty of false advertising? Sketchers. The shoes that tone your body, totally bogus. Original Story: The FTC posted an announcement today that could potentially stir a lot of things up inside the gaming industry. The headline of the announcement runs like so: FTC Announces Action Against Major Marketer of Consumer Goods The

What is Diablo III? That’s the question the fine folks at Blizzard set themselves up to answer in the video you see at the head of this post. PC gamers have been waiting for more than a decade to dive back into the world of Sanctuary and fight of the denizens of Hell once more.

May 15th can’t come soon enough for those who’ve pre-ordered Blizzard’s upcoming blockbuster, Diablo III. Trust me, that’s a lot of antsy people. Diablo III has officially become Amazon’s most pre-ordered PC title in history. Amazon is, and has always been, a huge market for pre-ordering and buying games. But, we can’t forget that it’s not the

Having played the game for what approached 45 minutes at PAX East with Square Enix, I can safely say that I like what I’ve witnessed in regards to the hand-to-hand combat this title offers up.

Starting next week, fans of the Max Payne franchise will be able to dive back into the world of bullet-time after an exceptionally long break. Max Payne 3, the first in the series developed entirely by Rockstar Games instead of Remedy Entertainment, will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. PC gamers won’t have

Get ready to settle in for a look at in-game footage for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed III. The trailer above checks in at two minutes and 25 seconds. A few bits of the footage (the guard hanging from the tree and the legions of riflemen on the battlefield) were actually part of the eyes-on gameplay
