Top Ten RPGs Of This Generation... So FarSat, Aug 28th, 2010, 12:46 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS
This console generation has seen a remarkable shift in what it means to be a role-playing game. Elements that have traditionally been exclusive to RPGs - such as leveling/upgrading characters and equipment, branching, non-linear plots, and collectible items - have begun to be incorporated in numerous other genres, blurring the lines between them. However, the core RPG genre remains intact, featuring a wide variety of the best Western and Eastern game designers have to offer. This is Gaming Union's top ten RPGs of this console generation (roughly 2005 to present), in alphabetical order. |

Top Ten Development Studios Right NowThu, Aug 19th, 2010, 10:43 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS
Games have always been behind other creative mediums - such as film, music, and literature - when it comes to making consumption choices based on the team behind a product, as opposed to its franchise tag or brand. That being said, the "hardcore", enthusiast crowd has always had a deep appreciation and sense of loyalty toward the select group of studios that continually produce quality. Thankfully, that trend is slowly beginning to penetrate mainstream gaming. |

Mass Effect 2 Announced For PS3Tue, Aug 17th, 2010, 2:20 pm (EST) BY COLIN
EA's just dropped a rather large bomb, a good bomb, a bomb that explodes into a vast array of colourful confetti and joy, at least for PlayStation users around the world! |
Gamescom 2010: Press Conference PreviewsTue, Aug 10th, 2010, 8:23 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS
Gamescom, Europe's stop on the major game convention circuit, is just around the corner, kicking off with three press conferences from Microsoft, Electronic Arts and Sony next Tuesday. The German hosted event has risen to prominence over the past couple years, now viewed by publishers as an additional avenue (alongside E3 and TGS) for major global announcements - Sony and Microsoft revealed the PS3 Slim and Fable III at Gamescom 2009, respectively. With that in mind, anticipation for next week's convention is high, so we've broken down what to expect from the big three conferences. |
New Dragon Age DLC AnnouncedThu, Jul 29th, 2010, 11:02 am (EST) BY ADAM MAIt's always nice to see a game get some support after release, but the amount of content that's been added to Dragon Age: Origins would almost constitute its own expansion at this point. Either way, Bioware has recently announced The Golems of Amgarrak, DLC with rewards for characters from either the first Dragon Age, or Awakening. More » |

Space Combat Coming To Star Wars: The Old RepublicFri, Jul 23rd, 2010, 11:43 pm (EST) BY ADAM MAWhat started as a rumor has turned into a full fledged 'confirmation' in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Officially making the announcement at Comic-Con, SWTOR community manager Sean Dahlberg broke the news that space combat would be in the MMO. The announcement sort of makes sense, considering that player-housing was created in the form of customizable ships. Letting those ships actually fly is the next best thing. More » |
PlayStation Move Owners Had Best Prepare For ShovelwareTue, Jul 20th, 2010, 4:03 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA
It's taken a while for Sony and Microsoft to jump on the ship, but this holiday season PS3 and 360 owners finally get to get their share of motion-sensor action. But while new peripherals are generally things to get a little excited about, it's hard to really be pumped up for Move or Kinect. Looking at past and present Wii games, it's pretty easy to see how these new motion-control platforms may take the same route: a wave of uninspired, gimmicky, boring games trying to play off the limited success of a few select Wii titles. Kinect sits in a unique situation due to the 'no controller' requirement, but anyone looking to own a PlayStation Move may want reconsider. At least until the first wave of imitation Wii games have been announced. |

The Best Games Of 2010... So FarFri, Jul 9th, 2010, 9:14 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA
I'll cut straight to the chase on this one, 2010 has had some phenomenal games. Most years start out a little slow and then wind up into a big bang, but honestly it's hard to imagine anything better around the corner aside from a few releases here or there. |

E3 2010 Preview: MicrosoftSun, Jun 13th, 2010, 8:18 pm (EST) BY ADAM MA
Microsoft has done an absolutely fantastic job letting consumers know that this year, Natal will launch in some form or another. In fact, most can already guess that this E3 will be filled with motion-sensor hype. Applications, useless video options, expensive peripherals, anyone who owns (or knows about) a Wii can already guess what's coming from Microsoft. But what about the games? We don't think that Microsoft will leave us hanging, at least not too badly. |
E3 2010 Preview: Electronic ArtsFri, Jun 11th, 2010, 1:49 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS
As E3 draws closer, Gaming Union continues our feature series of publisher previews before the big show. This time around it's Electronic Arts under the spotlight. The publisher has released a fairly detailed list of the game lineup for this year's conference, but there will definitely be a handful of surprises as well. We already know blockbuster titles such as Bulletstorm, Crysis 2, Dead Space 2, Medal of Honor, and the staples of EA Sports will all be there. The question remains, what is EA still hiding up its sleeve? Mirror's Edge 2? Battlefield 3? A new Burnout? Mass Effect 3? |
