The trip to this year's Blizz-Con event has definitely been worthwhile though, because Diablo III is playable here for the first time anywhere outside of Blizzard's office.....More

There's plenty of "oh snap" moments in Codemasters' upcoming Rise of the Argonauts for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and most of them involve using a huge mace to bust a dude's head like a ripe melon. Or impaling him with a spear, lifting him high off of the ground, and then smashing him down to earth. Or slicing him in half with a... Well, you get the idea. The action role-playing game, based loosely on the classic Greek myth of Jason and the Argonauts' quest for the Golden Fleece, may be running fast and loose with historical myth, but its controls and combat system--though certainly over-the-top--seem firmly rooted in the real. Yesterday, we had a chance to see the game again and check out a new level for the first time....

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the most technically stunning video game ever made. It's also a fine example of storytelling prowess within its medium, combining gameplay and narrative so slickly and beautifully that it's impossible to extricate one from the other. It's likely you will emerge awestruck from your first play-through, wishing the experience would continue yet nonetheless satisfied with its conclusion. It's difficult not to sound hyperbolic when discussing MGS4 because every part of its design seemingly fulfills its vision, without compromise. There is no halfway.....

The titular homecoming of the upcoming Silent Hill game holds a number of meanings. It first and foremost refers to the return of protagonist Alex Shepherd to his hometown of Shepherd's Glen, but it also in many ways signifies a return to the roots of what Silent Hill itself is meant to be--a really, really creepy place. We recently had the chance to play through the first few hours of Silent Hill: Homecoming, and we've gathered our impressions together in one place about this, the most atmospheric Silent Hill yet.

Velvet Assassin

• For : PC, PS3, Xbox360

n this World War II game, spy work and stealth kills replace rocket launchers and tanks.

Replay Studios may be a relatively small operation, but it has a few big challenges lying ahead of it. Beside the potential for uneasiness that goes along with being a German developer creating a World War II game, this Hamburg-based studio has set out to do something unique with a timeline that's been dominated by first-person shooters. Velvet Assassin, Replay's forthcoming attempt at WWII stealth action, is a game that's more Splinter Cell than Call of Duty. Rather than plowing through Nazis like a one-man tank, you'll be assuming the role of female spy Violet Summers as you sneak through the shadows and take out soldiers with swift but deadly stealth kills. We recently had the opportunity to spend some hands-on time with Velvet Assassin, fighting that eternal battle between catlike patience and an itchy trigger finger.....More
