Fiora, The Grand Duelist, Revealed
It’s been quite a while since we’ve had the opportunity to explore the design space of a true melee carry in League of Legends. Fiora, the Grand Duelist, is our first all-out take on this type of champion since our initial launch, and our new addition to this role has let us really focus on a particular aspect: speed.
Not content to leave melee to the guys with oversized weapons, Fiora makes up for it in raw agility and lightning speed,...

them there is one known for his mastery over all – Kinesis. Let the
Hellbourne beware the power of his mind.

Warp Review: A Downloadable Puzzler That's Equal Parts Bloody And Brilliant
Your story begins with you looking through the eyes of a creature as it's being carted through a laboratory by ominous looking scientists and military-types. An antiseptic white dominates the color palette to a point where you can almost smell the disinfectant. Once the camera zooms out, you discover that your avatar is a semi-transparent alien whose cute features are more Monsters, Inc. than menacing. Why are there so many armed guards for...
BioWare Doesn't Deserve Such Hate For Mass Effect 3's Day One DLC
Thanks to a mistake on the Xbox Live Marketplace earlier this week, a piece of Mass Effect 3 downloadable content was revealed sooner than it was meant to be. As it turns out, the From Ashes DLC is scheduled to be released alongside the game on March 6. This both means Jeremy's idea of a tuxedo T-shirt for Jack can't be the first DLC item and that a boycott is already being arranged by infuriated gamers who don't like the idea of having to pay for...

2011 is behind us and we're already well into the last year before the Mayan odometer rolls over. It's probably a good time to celebrate another year of economic recession and the rapidly approaching End of All Things with an absolute orgy of free videogames. Don't worry if you're among the growing ranks of the poor and jobless, you'll always have games to play without giving in to the unforgivable sin of internet piracy.
Meanwhile, if this...

Is Sleeping Dogs a More Relevant Sandbox Crime Game Than GTAV?
After viewing (and briefly playing) a recent demo of Square Enix's Sleeping Dogs, I found myself less taken by the history of the game and its design than I was by its setting. The game itself looks good, but it's nothing extraordinary: An iterative addition to the ever-expanding open-world action genre. It simply adds a few refinements (along with an absolutely excessive patina of violence) to the formula established a decade ago by Grand...

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Once upon a time, getting about in a Zelda game was such a clear-cut process. You had your dungeons (anywhere from four to 12, depending) and you had the overworld that linked them all together. Aside from the occasional spin-off (Four Swords Adventures was broken into levels, and Majora's Mask centered around the hub of Clock Town), that's how it always worked. You'd wander around, maybe poke into a cave for a Heart Piece, clear away some...

Pac-Man, Mega Man Teased for Street Fighter X Tekken on Vita
Ahead of the game's release in March, Capcom has released a variety of new Street Fighter X Tekken content today and confirmed the identity of six more fighters. But it's a short teaser in one of the new trailers that is the most noteworthy bit from what the company had to show today. The newly-announced characters include three from either side: Street Fighter provides Balrog, Vega, and Juri, while Tekken offers up Paul, Law, and Xiaoyu....

Razer's 'Project Fiona' - gaming tablet prototype
Perhaps the PlayStation Vita's leggy 5 inch screen just isn't enough for your dedicated gaming portable needs. Perhaps you think Sony's promise of console quality games on the Vita isn't nearly as important as full-on console games on the go. Enter Razer's "Project Fiona PC Gaming Tablet." It's merely a prototype (at least for now), but this may be the go-to portable for you at some point in the future, fictional crazy person.Razer unveiled...
