Like Gangster Squad, here's another movie that we didn't have on our Most Anticipated Movies of 2012 list, but we most likely would have if this trailer had existed half a year ago. Director Rian Johnson reunites with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, whom he previously worked with on his rookie effort (the excellent neo-noir Brick), in another movie with film noir elements except this tim...

Gangster Squad is a movie that we didn't have on our Most Anticipated Movies of 2012 list, but most likely would have added if we had seen this trailer before compiling the list. Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer's latest period piece follows a squad of Los Angeles cops (Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Nick Nolte, Giovanni Ribisi, and Anthony Mackie) who are attempting to keep Eas...

This year's annual iteration of Activision's records-setting juggernaut franchise Call of Duty was revealed today to be Black Ops II, a sequel to the World at War sequel from a couple of years ago. The ninth game of the series will take viewers back to the future, but unlike Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 3 last year, which was set in the near future, Treyarch's Black Ops II wi... Read More »

Marvel's Avengers hits theaters in a few days, but leave it to the comic-book studio's historic rival, DC's and Warner Bros.' Batman, to try to suck the air out of The Avengers hype this week. The latest trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, our top pick for Most Anticipated Movie of 2012, just dropped, and there's plenty of teasing reveals along with some stuff we've seen previou...

The rise of Taylor Kitsch will continue this summer in Oliver Stone's new crime-thriller film, Savages. Last seen as John Carter and scheduled to dock in domestic theaters in next month's Battleship, Kitsch plays one half of a marijuana-growing team while the other half is played by Aaron Johnson of Kick-Ass. They go Army of Two and take on a Mexican drug cartel when their shar... Read More »

After Sony teased gamers all week by posting a mysterious image on the official PlayStation website and Facebook page asking "Will vengeance bring redemption?," many were left wondering if it could be for the inevitable God of War 4. Last time there was a God of War teaser most were let down with the announcement that it would be a PSP game. Thankfully, this time the tease wasn... Read More »

With Skyrim and Rage done, everyone has been dying to know what Bethesda is going to do next. The publisher behind one of 2011's best games and biggest disappointments has remained rather silent in 2012 regarding their upcoming games in development. We've even heard rumors that Prey 2 might be cancelled (please Bethesda, no!) and Doom 4 isn't likely to be released until the nex... Read More »

In what's likely to be a rematch between EA's Medal of Honor and Activision's Black Ops franchises, EA's still the only one who's entered the ring after releasing the intriguing announcement teaser to Medal of Honor: Warfighter last month. And damn, it looks good. That's probably because Warfighter will be armed with developer DICE's Frostbine 2 engine, the same one that mad... Read More »

Many fans of the original Lost Planet were upset with the amount of big changes made in the sequel. Capcom shifted the focus of their unique singleplayer experience on a frozen post-global warming planet to a squad-based shooter on the same planet where the snow had since melted to reveal a tropical environment. Despite its flaws and very poor storytelling elements, Lost Planet... Read More »

The latest Resident Evil game, Operation Raccoon City, has garnered very mixed reviews from both critics and fans. Those looking for the classic Resident Evil experience were upset to find the series with a modern tactical feel, while those who have begged Capcom to update the dated series were treated to a fun and one-of-a-kind multiplayer experience. Unlike most critics who d... Read More »

Die-hard early '90s film fans have been furious ever since learning of a Lens Wiseman PG-13 remake to one of the best and most violent sci-fi thrillers of all time. But even without a Mars setting or an R rating like Paul Verhoeven's original take on the novel We Can Remember It for You Wholesale, Wiseman's Total Recall remake looks more and more promising as we see more of it,...

Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming free-to-play sequel, PlanetSide 2, looks to be officially bringing back the MMOFPS genre, but the creators behind the insanely popular, yet amazingly boring, EVE Online, seem to be taking the MMOFPS idea to the next level. In their first game developed since Eve, CCP Games will also be creating a free-to-play MMOFPS, but with the unique twis... Read More »

With FPS and MMORPGs becoming the most popular game genres in the world, it's surprising that we don't see more shooters mashed up with MMO elements that allow for larger scale battles than the standard max of around 8, 16, 32, or rarely 64 players that most popular shooters use. In 2003, Sony Online Entertainment released the massively popular MMOFPS PlanetSide, which allowed ... Read More »

The last trailer we saw for Max Payne 3 back in November showcased Rockstar's innovative new character movement animations and had us counting down the days until May 15, but still questioning how it was all going to work online with multiple players using bullet time abilities. Now, in their latest gameplay trailer, Rockstar is showing off how their new realistic animations wi... Read More »

The idea of merging the player creation and customization aspect of LittleBigPlanet with the ridiculously fun racing modes of Mario Kart has been something fans have wanted ever since the original LBP. Back in 2010, that idea came to a reality with the release of PlayStation 3's other exclusive, ModNation Racers. While MNR was amazing, it had nothing to do with LBP and failed t... Read More »

Star Wars: The Old Republic might not have turned out to be the first official World of Warcraft slayer (nothing besides Blizzard pulling the plug or the Internet exploding will ever kill WoW), but it was good enough to win our 2011 Game of the Year Award and most likely steal many players from Blizzard's MMO behemoth. In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Blizzard's John Lagra... Read More »
