The best of the titles released since January.
Fifty percent of the year is behind us, but we've already been introduced to a host of excellent games. Some we could see coming from a mile away, but others snuck up on us undetected. There are many hotly anticipated games that have yet to be released this year, but here are the top 5 games that you just might still be hearing about when it comes time to determine the best of 2011: #5 | Mortal Kombat [PS3, X360] The return of a classic, and then some. You might be thinking that Mortal Kombat hasn't gone anywhere... Well, there are many who would beg to differ. There have been numerous iterations of the series over the years, but a large contingent of MK fans recognize Mortal Kombat 2 as the pinnacle of the series with Mortal Kombat 3 …

It's officially hot out. Here are some of the near-future releases that might make a nice companion to your A/C.
I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is that it's a relatively slow month as far as video game releases go. Not much big-name content here. The good news is that is this a prime opportunity to direct you towards some titles you may or may not have heard of that could very well end up being worth your attention. So, without further ado: Here we have the sequel to 2007's Earth Defense Force 2017, an Xbox 360 game that has developed somewhat of a cult following. A third-person shooter with famously bad voice acting, EDF 2017 was credited with having gameplay that was pure fun. Over 150 weapons, 4 vehicles, hordes of enemies, 53 levels with destructible environments... Throw some 2-player co-op in there and you have yourself a good …

This past week hosted the biggest industry event of the year. Here are some of the high and low points of this year's expo
Fans of video gaming the world over are acutely familiar with the Electronic Entertainment Expo, affectionately known as E3. It is the industry trade show of the year. It's the event that the biggest names in video gaming save their biggest secrets for, or at least try to. The entire expo is a week-long display of major upcoming gaming hardware and software releases, but the real attractions are the developer conferences, where the real news is let out. Last year's conferences announced hardware such as the Playstation Move and Microsoft Kinect motion controllers, as well as the recently-released Nintendo 3DS handheld system. Last week played host to the 2011 E3 Expo, which concluded yesterday. Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Sony, …

A look at some of the biggest games coming out this month
It's the first week of March, and it's time to take a look at the games you should have your eye on. Whether you're a PC, console, or handheld gamer, you're likely to find something interesting. Here are some of the biggest game releases scheduled for March 2011: You've heard of World of Warcraft (unless you're living under a rock). Well, Rift is the newest fantasy MMO (massively-multiplayer online) game that's touted to give World of Warcraft a run for its money. For those unfamiliar with the genre, MMOs are games which take place in a veritable online alternate reality. The worlds are huge and house thousands of gamers online simultaneously. It's generally as social as gaming gets, as people are encouraged to band together to accomplish …

One of the best-looking shooters ever released, with the gameplay to match.
If the Killzone franchise to date is famous for anything, it is that it holds itself to the highest of high standards in visual presentation. It is both a compliment to its incredible sights and a slight to its fantastic feel that the shooting plays second fiddle, if only by a small margin. But make no mistake, as incredible as Killzone 3 looks, to say that its gameplay is up to the task would be an understatement. Guerrilla Games also upped the ante on the multiplayer content and included the oft-requested cooperative campaign mode blatantly missing from its predecessor. But among all of the new features, Killzone 3's calling card is in the single player experience, where you will find a short but sweet campaign against the Helghast …

This is definitely a discussion much bigger than Killzone 3, but I do agree with you on most points. It's actually quite similar to the music industry. There's no incentive for innovative progression, at least in the FPS department. I'm not nearly as concerned about sports games like Madden, because they exist to imitate a specific medium that also happens to be inherently annual, and a year is … more ›
