Video of the day: Return to Dark Castle trailer
You may not remember Dark Castle, but it already spawned one classic sequel. Think of it as a medieval Prince of Persia, but in black and white and for the Mac. The update is nothing graphically to crow about, but then again it isn’t trying to be. It’s classic 2D gaming celebrating its 2Dness. As this pseudo-retro-revival continues, it’s interesting to see just how much life is left in the classic gaming setup. Return to Dark Castle likely won’t win any awards or set sales records, just like those games of yore. And just like them, it remembers that isn’t always the reason for making a great game.

Actually, we can’t be sure how much of this is in game or not, but it certainly is showing off more than the infamous crying trailer. You get a couple of quick glimpses of one level (a neighborhood in the rain, who’d have guessed?) and some shots of the team modeling characters. And yes, it’s

Sure, you have your flashy new iPhone 3G with its copy of Super Monkey Ball, but what about your other consoles? Don’t they deserve some love from Apple’s super, duper cell phone?

It seems difficult to imagine someone improving on the lovingly crafted Resident Evil films. After all, they take the continuity and character development of the games so seriously.

Another year and another Castlevania title for one of Nintendo’s portable devices. There was a time, not too long ago, when Castlevania releases were several years apart.

The future of "touch" games
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
Nintendo may catch lots of flack for bringing gaming to the casual market, but their methods have certainly not fallen on death ears. While the DS was far from the first touch-screen device, it was one of the first mass-market commercial ones. It has since been followed up by Apple’s iPhone and a slew of

Killzone 2 finally getting it right

Killzone 2 has certainly wowed gamers before. From the original “target” trailer to the later “actual” trailer, the game has provided plenty of eye candy. Of course, it has also provided plenty of controversy thanks to that “target” demo. However, it appears Killzone 2′s critics may finally have to eat their crow. While showing very
First look at Gears of War 2 gameplay
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
The original Gears of War is mostly a take it or leave it kind of game. With all the hype surrounding it, many were turned off by its less-than-revolutionary gameplay. Still, those people were obviously in the minority as the game sold a ton and helped cement the Xbox 360′s position ahead of the PS3
