If you’re looking forward to the reboot of the 90’s sci-fi shooter XCOM coming out this year then I’m sorry to say it’s coming out in 2013. So if all the soothsayers out there are correct you won’t be able to play it because the world’s going to end before then. There is light at the end of the tunnel though because the strategy title XCOM Enemy Unknown is still going to make it this year so at least you’ll get a few months of gameplay in before everything on planet Earth ceases to exist.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is pleasing fans online at the moment who are into that whole MMO thing with over 800,000 people creating their versions of Sith Warriors and Jedi Knights.

This time The Saints have control over Stillwater and are attempting to take the town of Steelport away from rival factions. If you’ve played any game of this genre before you’ll know what to expect. You drive from A to B...
Not content with just attacking Battlefield 3, Activision’s CEO Bobby Kotick is now having a go at World of Warcraft’s impending rival Star Wars: The Old Republic. He stated that George Lucas will be the main financial winner when the game comes out on 20th December and he doesn’t understand how the economics will work for EA. EA has previously stated it needs just 500,000 subscribers to make a profit but believe it could attract at least 2 million! Guess we’ll see the outcome in the coming months.

The last Assassin’s Creed ended on a bit of a cliffhanger with Desmond stabbing Lucy and watching her die in front of him. This latest game in the Assassins Creed series not only starts where the last one ended but also goes back into the memories of Ezio and Altair as Desmond falls into a coma and uses the Animus to try and put his jumbled head back together from within. The main story is told through an older Ezio as he tries to find the lost keys to Altair’s hideout in Turkey’s Istanbul or Constantinople as it was called...
