We have a couple weeks before the Avatar movie comes out, but you're welcome to immerse yourself into the land of the blue people with Avatar: The Game in the mean time. Owners who have a 3D TV, 3D glasses and a console that has an HDMI output (sorry, 20GB 360 owners) can even play in three ...

The Rules of the House
"Don't wear your guitar above your waist. You're not in the Beatles." -- interstitial text in the game "Guitar Hero" We hauled the giant box into the house. It took me about half an hour untangle all the fiddly bits from the plastic wrappings and figure out how to assemble the drum set, ...

Leige
Back in the late '90s several attempts were made to bring the dying Adventure genre into the bright and shiny 3D era. Of course, the fidelity of 3D graphics weren't up to the task of replicating the beautiful 2D graphics of traditional adventure games. The worst offense, though, was that the ...

An Internet Thanksgiving
"What are you thankful for, Daddy?" asked Peter at dinner this weekend. Thanks to the omnipresence of Thanksgiving as a cultural touchstone here in America, that this question is propping up a week before the actual death-to-large-fowl event isn't surprising. "My family," I replied, with a ...

Assassin's Creed 2
The original Assassin's Creed was a prototype. This is clear after finishing Assassin's Creed 2 , which is better in every respect, whether it's improving features from the first game or rolling them up in a carpet and throwing them off a bridge. I've never been so happy to be free of ...

Sit back and relax, the release tide has finally receded. We'll have a few more blips in December, but that's about it for the rest of 2009. Looking back on all the games we've seen in the past couple months, I can't help but feel like we've had a really strong finish to the year. Stronger than ...

Devil's Tuning Fork
First Person Shooters tend to resemble Micheal Bay movies. In plot, in setting and in hyperactive intensity they are eerily similar to the latest Hollywood explosionfestaganza. The cutting-edge graphics lead to a screen full of constantly shifting explosions and enemies. Most first person ...

At the Gates of Genre
At the gates of Genre, Saint Pong-paddle awaits. Newly minted video games must register their official genre here. Being two-dimensional and rather dated, graphically, St. Pong-paddle cannot handle a feathered quill and instead bounces a square cube into the appropriate category. It's a fun ...

Populous
1989. The GameBoy is released in North America, and I don't care. I don't care because I own the finest piece of gaming hardware ever made -- the Atari ST computer. Hyperbole? Sure. But in the summer of 1989 I was playing a game unlike anything I'd ever seen. That game was Peter Molyneux's most ...

November 16 - November 20
I could happily buy 4 new games this week -- easy. Not many weeks come around where I look at the release list and top to bottom I land on more than 1 or 2 titles that I would genuinely consider laying down money for. This week, I can't imagine how I won't drop a couple hundred dollars I don't ...

Rocketbirds: Revolution
You're crouched in a concrete hallway, waiting for your enemy to show himself. This bunker is crawling with them and you know what you have to do. Your dual-pistols are prepared to rain a lead-filled death on the first person through that door. You know they deserve it--their oppressive regime ...

A Dirge for the Sinking Ship
gamerswithjobs.com — Ask certain people in the know, and they will tell you that the current gaming market is... unsustainable.

Why Won’t You Just Die Already?
Two samurai stand ready for their duel on a long, dusty road. In a flash, they unsheathe their swords and rush to meet their destiny. The sharp staccato of steel on steel fills the air as their blades meet. When one misses a step, the other moves in with a life-ending thrust. But wait, what’s ...

November 9 - November 13
I'm starting to feel like I'm getting bullied into caring about Modern Warfare 2 . I think Activision is only a half step from having camouflaged salesmen go door to door asking if we've heard the good word about the Call of Duty franchise. I have heard. It's not like I could avoid it. To be ...

Igneous
Tikis don't get enough love. How can you not like those weird, squat, little statues with oversized teeth and permanently malevolent smiles? Every time I see one I can't help but laugh. Igneous , a tiki-themed racer, puts a big, dumb grin on my face every time. Don't get me wrong, this ...
