Hands On: God of War: Ghost of Sparta

Badass—if there is a word to describe the upcoming PSP bloodfest God of War: Ghost of Sparta, this is it. The game is so far perhaps one of the best handheld experiences I've had to date. God of War: Ghost of Sparta combines eye-pleasing graphics with a simple to learn interface intertwined with what promises to be a very entertaining storyline. Indeed, during my hands-on with the game earlier this month, it seemed to be something that perhaps every God of War fan may want to pick up.

R2-D2 Comes To Comic Con

At New York Comic Con, there is one specific guest that seemed to really steal the show. One attendee seems to have created his own R2-D2 robot that was brought to life via a remote control transmitter carried around by the creator. I didn't have much time at all to talk to him and his kids seemingly were going off and about, but major kudos need to be handed to this guy. Here's a quick video of it.

Civilization 5: Just One More Turn. Just… One… More… Turn… (Review)

Do not play Civilization V. As with Starcraft 2 (reviewed here), Civilization 5 for the PC is one of those games that players will generously spend large amounts of time playing as they become addicted to the game's depth. The last game in the series that I played was Civilization 3, a game that ate up almost my entire summer. Once you start playing, it's easy to see why Civilization is such a strong franchise, and why it's loved by gamers across the world.

Nintendo Hypes Professor Layton By Taking Over NY Metro’s Sex Issue

On my way to the subway this morning, it isn't unusual for commuters to pick up one of the free newspapers in the morning. Today, Nintendo has taken over the front and back cover of Metro, a popular free daily here in NYC, with an ad for the new Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. Retro styling the newspaper to look like an old-time tabloid, the ad talks about the game and backstory a bit. Additionally, there is a bit of humor in their own form of ads within the ad on the back page. What it's all hiding though is the fact that this is Metro's Sex Issue.

It's both genius and confusing. And hilarious. It's genius, confusing, and hilarious. More photos after the jump.

Cheap Thrills: H.A.W.X 2 The 8-bit game

Cheap Thrills is a column by Chris Gampat reviewing affordable (under $20) or free games for the recession.

I remember playing the original version of H.A.W.X in alpha form back during my PCMag.com days and then the Android version put out by Gameloft. While I comfortably preferred the latter, the 8-bit version of the game is simply the most addicting. H.A.W.X. 2's 8-bit version is an ode to old-school top down shooters, with a few flourishes that test player strategies and reflexes while offering versatility in the way the game can be played.

The Round Up of Duke Nukem Forever News at PAX 2010

Duke is back to kick ass and chew bubblegum—in fact, it has been confirmed that the game is in production right now, and will actually come out in 2011. 1UP and EpicBattleAxe report that Gearbox Software is currently developing the game. and that a playable demo it is currently playable. This could perhaps hint tha fans of Borderlands and mods of the Half-Life series of games could be in store for some real treats. Here's a round up of the news so far.

Hands-on with LittleBigPlanet 2

The other day, Will and I were able to get some hands-on time with LittleBigPlanet 2 coming to Playstation 3. Though I've admittedly not played the first, the game has always been one that I've wanted to try because of just how fun it looks. And the sequel is very, very fun. The extra emphasis on fun comes from the forgiving nature of the game and the ultimate customization and creation of worlds.
