0  BioShock: Infinite Bodes Well For The Future Of The Series Mon, Aug 16th, 2010, 5:43 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS After a long period of silence following their last project, Irrational Games, the team behind BioShock, have finally let the world know what they've been working on - a continuation of their critically acclaimed franchise, BioShock: Infinite. This news comes after years of rampant debate as to the identity of Irrational's next game. Everything from a new X-COM, System Shock, Thief, SWAT and Freedom Force title was considered - a new BioShock was the last thing most people were expecting. Why? Because BioShock 2 was developed by another studio, without input from Irrational's creative director, Ken Levine. Meanwhile, Levine was seemingly More »

0  Mafia II Preview Thu, Aug 5th, 2010, 3:38 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA There are many great and terrible stages of development in humanity's long history, and as a civilization we are obsessed with a few of them. The twilight years of the cowboy, the shogun era of the Japanese feudal society, World War II and the struggle against Nazi Germany. We focus on these events and all aspects surrounding them, often mystified at a way of life filled with its own sort of terror and nobility. Movies, books, games, and television try their best to capture these moments for us, to bring them to life and let us marvel at an era most have forgotten. Enter Mafia II: a game probably destined to be remembered as a phenomenally accurate depiction of the 1950's American underworld. A preview for a game like this requires a lot of care and attention, since much of Mafia II's aspirations lay in successfully recreating an entire era of history. There's a bit less focus on gameplay, and more on the storyline and overall world design. Much like Red Dead Redemption was pressed hard for how well it recreated the Wild West in design and theme, Mafia II will be completely judged by its ability to juggle storytelling and world interaction. Cars, weapons, suits, décor, and even diction have all been copied to as close to the truth as possible. Graphical details have been refined to create some extremely realistic looking character models, and the soundtrack has been set to match the 'mood of the era'.

0  Civilization V Demo Arriving Soon Thu, Aug 5th, 2010, 12:26 am (EST) BY ADAM MA According to the Civilization V's website, the demo is soon to be announced! Rarely do I decide to cut straight to the chase, however this is some pretty exciting stuff here. The Civilization series is one that has held a lot of very fun (and time consuming) moments for gamers, and is a nice break from the typical strategy game. More »

0  Civilization V Special Edition Unveiled Fri, Jul 9th, 2010, 2:00 pm (EST) BY COLIN 2K Games have unveiled the special edition of Sid Meier's Civilization V, the next iteration of the Civilization franchise that looks to change things up a bit with the addition of a hexagonal tile system as opposed to the previous system used.

0  NBA 2K11 Cover Revealed: There’s Tongue Involved Wed, Jul 7th, 2010, 5:00 pm (EST) BY ALEX The player featured on NBA 2K11 will be none other than Michael Jordan himself! Gracing the cover with his signature tongue-out pose, which is definitely something different than the previous boxart from past years. 2K Sports is calling the cover the "Greatest Cover of All Time" and really, with that tongue flopping out, it's tough to argue. The real question, however, is if any Space Jam characters will be in the game, which will guarantee at least one more sale. More »

0  Mafia II Gets The Dev Diary Treatment, Focuses On Story Fri, Apr 2nd, 2010, 10:15 am (EST) BY KYLE WYNEN Developer diaries seem to be all the rage these days, and for good reason, they're usually well made, informative, and all the juicy details are coming straight from developer's lips rather than a press release sheet. 2K Czech have stepped up with their first of many developer diaries centred around their forth coming August release, Mafia II, for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

0  Major League Baseball 2K10 Review Mon, Mar 15th, 2010, 6:14 pm (EST) BY DARRYL MLB 2K10 is the latest addition to the Major League Baseball franchise from 2K sports. Making some hefty improvements and adding new control schemes brings together a whole new play style to the series. One big question does stand out though, being another yearly addition to a sports game, is there enough new content here aside from a roster update that makes this year's 2K baseball title worthwhile?

0  Digital Extremes Happy To Prove Sceptics Wrong Thu, Feb 25th, 2010, 10:45 pm (EST) BY DARRYL The original BioShock didn't have a multiplayer component, and fans and critics alike weren't entirely sure if multiplayer would even work in a game that thrived on its story and atmosphere. So when multiplayer was announced for BioShock 2, there was a definite sense of unease. Digital Extremes tackled this scepticism head-on though, and focused on making the multiplayer section of the game fun, engaging and self-sufficient. More »

0  Hidden Gems: Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony Sat, Feb 20th, 2010, 12:47 pm (EST) BY COLIN Gaming Union's very on conscripted and self-proclaimed art director - that's me - is back with yet another hidden gem. Previously, I rambled on about a fun and addictive rhythm game for the PlayStation Portable known as DJ Max Portable. Now, from underneath the dusty rug, I bring to your attention Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony. More »

0  BioShock 2 Review Fri, Feb 19th, 2010, 12:38 pm (EST) BY DARRYL The original BioShock had one of the more interesting worlds in gaming, with a setting unlike any other. Now with a sequel, it's exciting to come back to the underwater city of Rapture and see what's changed since the 2007 release of BioShock. The big question is, do the story and gameplay hold a candle to its predecessor, or is it just another generic sequel that loses all of the originality and excitement of the original? More »
