Triple A quality games with big budget freedoms set in place for game developers seems to be the mainstream in the industry these days. Anything less feels less polished or not enough. The rising benefits of technology is what has brought the gaming industry to the wondrous bounds that we now experience today.

The first phase of GamesBeat's integration of Bitmob is now complete! Here's what's new.

Who knew playing in the sand could be this fun? 2K has set the bar high, striving to separate The Line from the rest of the crowded genre by implementing a narrative driven game, set in a eccentric environment.

Total War Battles: Shogun isn't the best iOS game out there. But nor is it the worst. Creative Assembly and Sega's first attempt to bring their award-winning Total War franchise to the iOS platform is one that seems littered with small, easy fix problems here and there that could have been addressed with simply more development time.

On Monday, phase A of our Bitmob-to-GamesBeat merger will launch. Here's what you can expect.

Blops 2 was to be expected, but I never expected the game to look so good. The Call of Duty franchise has taken its toll on me over the years. Heck, I’ve played the games since the first one came out in 2003. And I thought that game was revolutionary…

The world is changing for gamers everywhere. Pricing models are changing, day one DLC is ripping apart communities and the way we buy games has changed drastically from whence they were before.

Neverwinter should be entering beta sometime this year, with a late 2012 release date in sights. This is one of those games that seemingly came out of nowhere for me, and after seeing it in action, how fun it appears to be and how fluid the combat looks, but more importantly the Dungeons and Dragons setting, it’s shaping up to look like a very good

It's pretty clear that Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver were simply made to hold us over until the big launch that was Pokémon Black and White. Yet the re-scripted classic GameBoy color versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver bring many new, exciting features to the franchise, and it wouldn't be fair to say that this is just a remake of a ten year-old

Final test post. These are not the test post your are looking for.

We're looking for a partially paid intern in the San Francisco Bay Area! Also, here's an update on how the integration with GamesBeat is going.

Viking: Battle for Asgard is a game with too many problems. Certain gameplay elements are seemingly thrust in just to fatten up the game and the majority of your time is spent doing the same quests over and over again. It was a swing and a miss...

Bond fan or not, I'm afraid avoiding this mission is probably in your best interests.

Kepler is the first step forward for the next generation of portable PC gaming. It's fast, cheap, and most importantly, affordable. Perhaps PC gaming has one last punch to throw at us after all?

You'll never look at your man cave quite the same again and those dark corners may need to be checked twice. Thought you were too old for a nightlight? Perhaps not.

The ongoing legal battle between Bethesda Softworks parent company, ZeniMax Media, and Interplay over the Fallout MMO game license has finally been resolved, yet only for Bethesda’s benefits it seems.

Far Cry 3 is a savage tale of survival that may revolutionize the future of first-person shooters.

Assassin's Creed III is an upcoming game being developed by Ubisoft that promises an all new assassin, story, setting, and more. The game is claimed to be the longest installment in the franchise and will finally complete the story of Desmond Miles.

It was only a matter of time before Disney’s hit movie franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean was transformed into the world of LEGOs. Encompassing all four of the movies in the series, developer TT Games takes the old LEGO formula that has worked in past games and replies it here. And that’s why the game flopped.

Rift is the perfect MMO out there for any newcomer into the genre. For veterans, everything you'd hope to be here is, yet it will all grow old on you very quick.
