Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning [Review]
Let’s face it, today, any open-world, hack and slash RPG packed with fantasy lore will have to be compared with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It has single-handedly raised the bar very high, or rather in this case shoved the sword very deep into the stone. With the shadow of Skyrim looming high, does EA and Big Huge Games’s new fantasy RPG Kingdoms of Amalur stand a fighting chance, or does it get chalked down as yet another generic title?

New Far Cry 3 trailer blends gun fire with dubstep, blows minds
This trailer is criminally awesome in every way, in fact it's so awesome, it should come with a Statutory Warning.

Paradise turns into nightmare quick!
