Finally, EA understands what it is we want out of our limited edition game bundles. Some extremely loseable keychains? Nope. A cat head-sized helmet which are awesome for roughly 23 minutes, then an eyesore shortly thereafter? Nope. In-game weapons and equipment which are useful as all-get-out, which also have the benefit of not taking up space in our real-life humble abodes? Ahh, now that’s... 

Question: What’s the only thing scarier than a looming horde of normal-speed zombies? Answer: A looming horde of normal-speed zombies with robot brains. That’s the kind of nightmare we’ll soon be facing once Valve puts the finishing touches on an update for Left 4 Dead 2, which will add Infected bots to the game’s Versus mode to help balance out one-on-one games. In addition,... 

Heavy Rain has you taking control of a number of playable characters. However, the game will only put you in the shoes of the heroes tracking down the elusive “Origami Killer.” In an interview with French site gameblog.fr, game director David Cage revealed that players will be able to play as the villain in an upcoming DLC episode of the Heavy Rain Chronicles. Other episodes of the Heavy... 

Now this is just demoralizing. According to a report in the rumors section of the Feb. 2010 issue of Game Informer (which doesn’t name its source) there won’t be “any game from the [Half-Life] franchise in 2010.” As if that weren’t crushing enough, the magazine says it’s not even sure there will be a Half-Life 2: Episode 3, postulating that the next Gordon Freeman... 

Many Modern Warfare 2 players still debate the game’s best piece of weaponry. Fortunately, hackers have settled this timeless dispute once and for all: It is, of course, the gun that hurtles your opponent back in time, back to the days when he or she was a lowly, classless Private. Okay, there’s apparently a new homebrewed glitch which accomplishes this feat, not a gun — but it would... 

We’ve heard plenty of horror stories over the past week (as have you, we’d wager) of people trying to play the Star Trek Online beta with little success, if they can even get the client to download in the first place. It turns out that Cryptic was not, as Destiny’s Child cautioned, ready for this proverbial jelly. “The actual numbers crushed our predictions,” the dev... 

Are you itching to get your hands on Rebellion’s upcoming shooter Aliens vs. Predator? Have you been dreaming of mouths within mouths, mouths that open sideways and regular human mouths screaming in terror? If so, you might want to see a therapist. You might also consider picking up Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000, the PC AvP title created by Rebellion aeons ago. The game is now available on... 

One of the many volleys in DICE’s Battlefield Bad Company 2 marketing campaign meant to sway Modern Warfare 2 loyalists towards its upcoming shooter was the promise of dedicated servers for PC players. That said, when the Swedish game development house recently announced a rental service for those interested in using said dedicated servers, some folks were less than thrilled. According to producer... 

  Fun fact: We like to describe the pacing of a game’s action on a scale composed of Brass-centric Americana music standards. For example, the speed of Modern Warfare 2 is moderate, yet fairly steady. In other words, it’s normally set to “Spanish Flea,” by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Unfortunately, wily hackers have gotten their hands on the game once again, cranking... 

Relic’s Dawn of War II is set to get its first expansion later this year when Chaos Rising arrives. The PC real-time squad-based strategy game based on the Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 license will add in a new unit to each of the game’s factions. Today, the first of those units has been revealed over on the official blog. The Space Marine Librarian focuses on direct damage and support...
