“The Last of Us” Shows More of Its Deadly World
Earlier this week, Naughty Dog showed off a little bit more of its post-apocalyptic title for the Playstation 3, The Last of Us. While some members of the press were invited to preview the game, the rest of us will just have to settle for this trailer: I’m really enjoying the kind of subtle, more [...]

Max Payne 3 Review
This is one of the hardest reviews I’ve ever had to write. ”Max Payne 3″ may be the most polished and thoughtfully executed entry the franchise has yet had, but that doesn’t necessarily make it the best. Rockstar Vancouver clearly set out to modernize Max, to put a fresh coat of paint on him and bring [...]

Prototype 2 Review
Very few sequels have ever changed so little, yet come so far. “Prototype 2″ looks and feels much like its ancestor, and yet where the original was frustratingly incomplete, the sequel is the real deal. It’s not perfect, but its victories overpower its weaknesses, resulting in one of the best sandbox mayhem machines ever built. [...]

QQing with Q: MOAR RANDOM LEWTZ
Tomorrow’s dawn (or tonight’s midnight, for those of you who are truly desperate) brings a newness into our hearts, a Diablo-shaped hole which shall be filled. The third entry in the Diablo series reaches us with much pomp, circumstance, and tetchy gnashing of teeth, but one way or another, it is certainly anticipated. With the [...]

Grab A Trenchcoat and Scotch, Then Watch The Launch Trailer for “Max Payne 3″
A very special sequel comes out next week. Fans have been waiting years to get their hands on the third entry in this critically acclaimed series. We’re talking, of course, about Max Payne 3. Not that we at Padinga aren’t looking forward to Diablo III; in fact, I’m incredibly excited for both. It has just [...]

Why Don’t I Like Witcher 2?
You ever have one of those games you’re really excited about before you buy, then when it’s finally yours you just can’t get into it? That’s me and “The Witcher 2″ right now. I’ve been rubbing my hands together in anticipation of this one for a couple of months, but now that it’s mine, it’s [...]

PSO2 Is Coming, And It Is Sexy
You remember Phantasy Star Online, right? Sure you do. One of the first truly online games, especially on a console, PSO was an integral part of the evolution of online gaming, forever cementing the Dreamcast as a console ahead of its time. What’s more, the game was addictive and fun as hell, as later generations [...]

I Want Black Ops II More Than Halo 4
November will see the next release from two of the biggest franchises in modern gaming: “Halo” and “Call of Duty.” And even though I can’t believe I’m saying this, I’m way more excited for the latter. While “Halo 4″ continues to chug along indifferently, offering us nothing more than tepid assurances that it plays like [...]

New Dishonored Screens
Dishonored is the new first person action/stealth title from Arkane Studios, published by Bethesda. It’s got a very “Thief: The Dark Project” vibe, with some touches of Valve in those daddy long-leg things. So far, they’re only getting shrugging interest out of me, in no small part because Bethesda’s track record as a publisher for [...]

Diablo III Has Some Problems
Sup gamers, After impatiently waiting over a decade for a threequel to a beloved franchise, Max Payne 3 is finally here. Oh and so is Diablo III (nyuk nyuk!). Hard-boiled wash-ups aside, the new Diablo graced Battle.net servers the other midnight and well, things weren’t pretty. As evidenced by only the most popular and highly [...]

Yeah So Prototype 2 Is Awesome
I didn’t really like the original “Prototype,” it was better in theory than reality, but “Prototype 2″ kicks all kind of tail. I am very impressed. It’s not the prettiest or most polished game in the world, but the combat has taken a huge step forward, and it finally feels like the experience they’re advertising [...]

Where’s the Avengers Game?
Sup gamers, So… a huge movie came out last weekend – one which finally payed off four years of buildup with ridiculous plants, Easter eggs and almost infuriating scenes with Agent Coulson and Nick Fury (come on, they were cute at first… stay out of Iron Man 2’s second act, SHIELD!). Yes, we’re talking about [...]
