Konami has officially announced a new Silent Hill game.
Ubisoft has boasted about the innovations it's made with the latest Silent Hunter, including a new first person mode, but the real question is whether James can learn to look past Ubi's new DRM system. Also, how many seamen jokes can we make over the course of the review?
Ubisoft's DRM servers were bought down yesterday by service attacks.
Ubisoft's new always-online DRM has been brought to it's knees by server problems.
Ubisoft has announced a new DRM system for future PC titles that require a constant internet connection.
A bunch of developers from Microsoft's abandoned flight sim team has now formed a new studio.
We take a look at Ubisoft's second entry in the Assassin's Creed series, which updates the game to Renaissance Italy and introduces a new main character. Meet Ezio, an assassin with revenge on his mind, a knife in his hand and, um, wings on his back? We'll explain within...
We take a look at the latest build of Splinter Cell: Conviction, which has finally re-emerged from development hell with a new, non-hobo look and a darkly cinematic feel. Is the new direction for the series a good thing, or did we prefer what we saw of homeless Fisher? Find out within.
We sit down with Frank Dolmans, one of the designers for Ship Simulator Extremes. We ask him about the challenges of building a realistic weather generator and how the sim genre is holding up lately. Also, a picture of Harry - just because we can.
GC 2009: Blizzard has officially announced the next World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm.
It's our last day at GamesCom 2009 today and we've been busy little beavers as we scurried from one meeting to another - but there was just enough time to share some quick thoughts on some of the games which caught our eye today - including Modern Warfare 2!
GC 09: Ubisoft has confirmed that a PC beta of RUSE will be available before the end of the year.
GC 09: Developers insist that PC simulations aren't dying out despite recent worries.
GC 09: It's time for a quick game of Guess the Car!
Whew. Another tiring day out in Cologne, but plenty of good stuff to see too. Check out our thoughts on some of today's smaller presentations, including what Joe suspects could be the next Deus Ex and the world's most fun rocket launcher.
GC 09: 1C Publishing has revealed a new, unnamed and multiplayer focused expansion to Men of War.
GC 09: A gallery of all the mods we've seen at GamesCom.
The first day of Europe's biggest games shows - GamesCom in Cologne - is over and we've been very busy. We've played Scribblenauts, Shattered Horizon, Little Big Planet on the PSP and a small game you might have heard of called Starcraft 2.
Microsoft's Peter Molyneux has claimed that there is something wrong with modern RPGs.
GC 09: Microsoft has announced Fable 3.
Ubisoft has declared that it has a workable plan to combat PC piracy, but won't declare what it is.
Western games are few and far between these days, so it's a welcome delight to see Call of Juarez get a prequel. The only question is whether or not Bound in Blood is any better than the first game - we take a look at Ubisoft's low-down, dirty, rotten cowboy shooter to find out.
Colourful, pleasant and surprisingly good-looking - are we talking about ourselves or Ubisoft's Anno 1404? There's only one way to find out, so read our full review and see if we think if Anno 1404 is worth picking up or whether it's a case of Error 1404: Enjoyment not found for this game.
This prequel to the first Call of Juarez sees players cast as the McCall brothers, hunting for the lost treasure of Juarez back in the American Civil War-era. With plenty of quick-draw antics and a focus on open level design, can Bound in Blood perform better than the first game?
Michel Ancel, the lead designer on cult hit Beyond Good and Evil, has assured fans that the sequel will be more immersive than ever.
RUSE is the innovative new strategy game from Ubisoft, which left us very impressed when we saw it recently. With an emphasis on tactical trickery and a gorgeous new engine powering it all, we reckon RUSE is definitely one RTS you should keep a close eye on.
