Update: XCOM 2 has been nominated for IGN's 2016 Game of the Year. There’s an air of white-knuckle desperation about XCOM 2’s post-apocalyptic setting, and it only enhances the tension. Taking place 20 years after humanity shockingly lost the war we played in 2012’s excellent XCOM: Enemy Unknown, we’re now …

Rise of the Tomb Raider is the most fun I’ve had with a Lara Croft game since 1996. Its story is full of the right kind of danger and intrigue, its tombs are dastardly, and I was as struck by its huge, romantic environments as I was as a kid …

In the final episode of what will hopefully be the first of several seasons, Tales from the Borderlands caps off Telltale's adventure on Pandora in spectacular fashion. In just under two hours, it manages to cram in powerful moments that range from hilarious banter, wonderful throwbacks to the world of …

The producers of the Doom movie are committed to making it as true to the spirit of the game as possible… and that means a lot of input from the game's creators. Enter id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead, who had a lot of input into the project. During the Doom …

I wanted to make this review short and sweet, but it's hard to stop writing, even when excluding facts that could potentially contaminate an exceptionally well thought-out gaming experience. There's just so much to say. Half-Life 2 is, simply put, the best single-player shooter ever released for the PC. It …

Do you ever wonder what things would be like now if Eidos had decided to handle things differently with its Tomb Raider series? For instance, what if Tomb Raider II, III and The Last Revelation were never released and the basic game engine that we now have with this, the …
