Namco Bandai’s SoulCalibur series of fighting games has always been full of fanservice. Not only are there enough dream cameos to please any fanboy, there is little to no clothing on the female fighters. In honor of the release of SoulCalibur II HD Online, we take a look at a cosplay of series stalwart Ivy […]
Who wants to be a farmer? Gamers, apparently. One can ponder as to why these games are so popular ‘till the cows come home, but GIANTS Software’s Farming Simulator series of games has been the country life simulator du jour on PCs for some time now. Now that this series has made the jump to […]
Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. For instance, the saccharine colors of Kirby’s box art practically guarantee a different experience than the brown and bloom of Gears of Wars’ cover. So what does the pentagram, fire and laughing skull of Nordic Games’ Painkiller: Hell & Damnation hint at? Pure, unadulterated chaos. Painkiller: […]
Nintendo prides itself on its kid-tested, mother-approved image. Mature-rated games are a rarity on their platforms, and the bright colors of staples like Mario guarantee an experience that is fun for the whole family.

Strategy games have been around since the dawn of time (at least in video game years), and for good reason. The call to rise up to the challenge of our rivals is universal, something etched into our very DNA. The genre may have seen some radical changes since the days of the Pentium II, but […]
The Borderlands hype train just keeps on rollin’. After two entries, a bunch of DLC, and a Game of the Year Edition, the recent Halloween Borderlands 2 DLC “Headhunter 1: TK Baha’s Bloody Harvest” just made its debut. We’re no strangers to Borderlands cosplay (check out Katy-Angel’s Mad Moxxi cosplay here), so we’re keeping the […]
The rogue-like genre of games gets little love these days. Maybe its due to their random nature, their stiff penalties for death, or their lack of hand-holding. Some may scoff at their stiff difficulty level, but others are eager to take on the challenge with open arms. NIS America has big plans for the genre […]

In this age of backlogs, next-gen consoles, and Humble Bundles, sinking 100+ hours into a game seems unprecedented.

Now that Disgaea D2 is here, should you pay a visit to […]
Wondering what the upcoming DLC for The Last of Us is going to consist of? A tester at Sony Computer Entertainment America (who wished to remain anonymous) talked to Gamers Heroes about the first two DLC packs planned for The Last of Us. Please note: Each piece of DLC ties to The Last of Us’ […]
Grand Theft Auto V’s got countless NPCs, groups, gangs, and more to meet and interact with, but one character that does NOT make the rounds is the bikini girl seen in all the advertisements and loading screens. Much like Grand Theft Auto IV’s lollipop girl, this bikini girl has received a number of real-life tributes. […]
There is no shortage of platforms in this day and age. You’ve got 2D ones, 3D ones, Kickstarter ones, indie ones, and even a next-gen one or three. However, the retro platform has been the poison of choice as of late, with reboots of DuckTales, Strider, and even Shantae in the air. SEGA and Disney’s […]
