Are games art? Can we authentically depict emotion in a virtual space? What is the meaning of Tetris? Can we read authenticity into the actions of Master Chief? If a tree falls in a forest and no one’s around to hear it, is it the Citizen Kane of games? Intrusion 2 attempts to answer precisely none of these important questions. Instead, it’s a Metal-Slug-esque sidescroller, but with gorgeous physics-based animations and an oddly understated love of over-the-top insanity.

Dirt Showdown’s multiplayer will be adding a new spin to the racing series. The gameplay will focus heavily on stunts, arcade style tasks and challenges, like daring your friends to beat your best time.
The first footage of Grimlock from the Transformers: Fall for Cybertron is out, and it looks pretty great. He’s a pure melee character, he has a sword and shield, he can bite drones in half in his space T-Rex form (he can also bang a gong and get it on, I’m told).
The trailer opens with a grizzled man in a jail cell, with who seems to be some sort of villain divulging a bit of information regarding our grizzled man’s wrongful imprisonment. The probable villain then magics up the grizzled man’s hand, and off goes the plot.
Akai Katana puts the sword in players’ hands as they take on a tyrannical empire of bloodshed to restore peace and order to the world they once knew. Akai Katana combines the adrenaline-filled gameplay of today’s bullet hell genre with the spirit of adventure offered through a true side-scrolling experience.
Have you a heartstring? Then the sequel to open world anti-hero game Prototype would like a chance to pull at it. It has a sad Johnny Cash song, it has a dead wife and it’s not afraid to use them. Now Prototype 2?s at the grimdark/pretty song juxtaposition marketing lark, and in this humble typist’s opinion getting it all kinds of wrong. You’ll see. Oh, you’ll see.
The action-packed combat game is set to launch the first quarter of 2013 prior to the May 17th theatrical release of the next Star Trek installment from director and producer J.J. Abrams.
When you think about it, Ghosts of the Tom Clancy variety actually have quite a lot in common with ghosts of the Casper, The Friendly persuasion. After all, I mean… you know… well, they both have “ghost” in their name. They both, uh, talk to people… Oh, and invisibility! That’s the ticket. The latest Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, however, absolutely ruins my clever analogy. And I could tell you what exactly you’ll see with death-defying feats of linguistic gymnastics, but instead, I’m opting to take full advantage of the under-appreciated art form that is comic book sound effects. So, in short, BOOM, THOCK, KABIFF, POW, ZOTT, SPLUSH, RATTA-TAT, WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU MA’AM. Dramatically dive behind the break and shout something about “tangos” to watch the full trailer.
