Gears of War fans should be sprinting to their Xbox, MS points in hand, because a new batch of DLC has been released for the game. Raam’s Shadow is, in fact, the biggest add-on ever to be released in the history of the Gears of War franchise. The new mini-campaign is around three hours in [...]
Focus Home Interactive has announced that it has bagged another game which is being developed that’s based on the Game of Thrones books and hit TV series.

We already knew Star Trek Online, like many massively multiplayer online games of late, was going free-to-play. But now we know the exact date on which the event will occur.

Those keenly awaiting the PC version of the acclaimed Batman: Arkham City need wait no longer – at least for a release date.

It’s coming like a Cacodemon hissing down a dark corridor, as we knew because John Carmack had already announced the release of the Doom 3 source code was due to happen this year.

The Secret World is an upcoming MMORPG from Funcom, the producers of Anarchy Online and Age of Conan (which recently went free-to-play).

It’s now less than a month until the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim bursts forth in all its role-playing goodness onto PCs, Xbox and PS3 consoles across the land.

Here come the Men In Black, the defenders of our galaxy and smartly dressed, mind-zapper wielding terminators of extraterrestrials with extreme prejudice.
