Ready to Rapture?

Ken Levine is the mastermind behind the world heralded by gamers across the world known simply as ‘Rapture’ in the BioShock series. Stepping into the dark undersea city of Rapture for the first time was truly a moment that we’ll never forget; inhabitant’s that utilise strange powers, Big Daddies and Little Sisters,...

Ken Levine took to the stage of Sony's E3 press conference to announce that Bioshock Infinite will support PlayStation Move on the PlayStation 3

Apparently the team is still working on the implementation, but it will be there at launch. Also confirmed during a bumper series of Bioshock announcements was news that all PS3 copies of Bioshock Infinite will ship with the original game included on the..

2K Games has confirmed that its upcoming first-person shooter XCOM will release on March 9th 2012 in the UK

The game will release March 6th in North America. The game is no longer a PC and XBOX 360 exclusive, with 2K confirming a PS3 version of the game. XCOM is a gripping tactical action experience set in mid-century America, where the player leads an elite field team of specialised government..

When we first heard The Darkness was getting a sequel, we were a bit like, "Yeah whatever?" We liked the original game a fair amount, but never considered it a classic like many others do

That said, we were wrong to be so dismissive of The Darkness II. This new trailer for the sequel looks pretty impressive. We adore the new graphic novel visual style that developers Digital Extremes have..

There are no words: Duke Nukem Forever releases in the UK next week

This launch trailer proves it. There are tits, one-liners, guns and swearing; what more could you ask for? Repeat: Duke Nukem Forever releases in the UK next week.

Wait for it: Duke Nukem Forever has gone gold

That means, short of a catastrophe, the game is finished and ready to be manufactured for retail. “Always bet on Duke, I did,” said Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford. “I bet on all of the developers who have ever been a part of this legendary project and I bet that none of us want to live in a world without the Duke. I’ve played the final game and it..

In case you'd all forgotten about the announcement of Bioshock Infinite -- which literally does feel like an eternity ago -- 2K's released a fresh batch of screenshots to remind us all that the game exists

The spiritual successor to Bioshock is set in the sky on the floating city of Columbia, and promises plenty of steampunk insanity and idyllic Americanism gone bad.</em>

Ok, so there is a safe for work version of Duke Nudem -- 2K Games' latest Duke Nukem Forever spin-off game -- but who wants to play that? The game even appropriately boos you when you try to select it

And rightly so too. The actual game is a trashy target practice mini-game — but if you win you get to look at girls take their clothes off. You even get a wallpaper for completing a level. Our..

Those of you that purchased the game of the year edition of Borderlands will already have access to the Duke Nukem Forever 'First Access Club'

Alternatively, you can gain entry by preordering a copy of Duke's overdue adventure from various retailers. Once you're into the super elite club, Gearbox has announced that you'll get early access to the Duke Nukem Forever demo on June 3rd. Check Randy..

Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has hit out against the "cyber-terrorists" that have brought the PlayStation Network to its knees, pleading with gamers to support Sony in its endeavours to restore online services to the PlayStation 3

Speaking with Eurogamer as part of a promotional tour for Duke Nukem Forever, Pitchford said we are all victims of cyber-terrorism. "Every one of us who plays games..

Oh Duke, you will insist on winning us over

To be honest, we've no idea why you're the size of an action figure in this latest Duke Nukem Forever trailer. But what does it matter when it looks this fun?</em>

2K's attached a date to the return of possessed hitman, Jackie Estacado

The Darkness II will release on October 4th in North America and October 7th in Europe. To celebrate the news, 2K has released a new trailer. We've embedded it above. It's short, but worth a watch.

Warning: this trailer is not safe for work

Repeat, this trailer is not safe work. Thank goodness its a Bank Holiday weekend then, eh? There's tits, explosions and all the Duke you can handle in this two-minute Duke Nukem Forever sizzle reel. Enjoy.</em>

If Duke Nukem: Forever's idea of "babes" are what's depicted in this trailer, we'll be replacing next years Hollyoaks calendar for the one featuring Cristiano Ronaldo in his swimwear -- these girls look like they were rendered on late 90's hardware

Oh wait, they were. (For the record: this game is starting to win us over.)

.. And to be honest that's pretty much the scariest thing about it.</em>

Mafia II was a surprisingly captivating game

The open-world lacked variety, but the story had us hooked from the moment we started it up. If you're yet to experience the game yet, it might be worth holding on just a little while. Amazon's listed [looks like it's been pulled now, folks - Ed] a "Director's Cut" edition of the Godfather-inspired sandbox shooter, touting the full game plus..

.. But only until June! Duke Nukem Forever was originally due out at the start of May, but Gearbox has pushed the date to June 10th worldwide, and June 14th in North America. Hilariously, Gearbox gaffer Randy Pitchford has released a video announcing the delay. You can catch that after the jump.

Uh-oh, time for the sexist white knights to jump on their horse and ride to the rescue -- guess what, Duke Nukem Forever objectifies women? Hang on, wait a minute, Duke Nukem? Is that the sound of a thousand angsty nobodies dismounting their horse? Sure -- because in any other video game this would be deemed "sexist" by said sensitive types, but Duke Nukem always gets a free pass

Mainly because it's "funny". Supposedly. Take Duke Nukem Forever's "Capture The Babe" mode. It's a play on..

Irrational Games' Ken Levine has ruled out any PlayStation Move support for the upcoming Bioshock Infinite, stating that gamers would feel "cheated" by it

"I'd never want to throw in Move support just because it's going to make some first party happy or because some marketing department wants it on the box because, at the end of the day, gamers know," he told Play magazine. "If you..
