There's a reason that Plants Vs Zombies 2 has the subtitle "It's About Time." It's become a global phenomenon, encompassing multiple platforms, books, figurines, plushies and more. That all of this has comes from a single game is remarkable, especially since it's not especially long, nor does it have some great RPG-like depth to it. It's just simple good fun.

The Humble Origin Bundle is rapidly breaking all Humble Bundle records, and with the best part of two weeks left to go will no doubt end up as the Bundle to beat. It this morning crossed the $3 million mark, contributed by almost 700,000 purchasers. It’s still going up at around ten people every second. The most successful Humble Bundle of all time was the THQ bundle, which sold to a little less than 900,000 people. The THQ bundle contained…

If you're from Australia and were planning of having a friend gift you a copy of Saints Row IV so that you might play without any censorship, you may find that you'll be disappointed come release day. A rumour is circulating that if you live in a country where your alien-battling super hero adventure has been made a little less violent, that's the version of the game you'll play regardless of how it was bought.

Activision and Infinity Ward have released a video displaying some of the new additions to Call of Duty: Ghosts multiplayer. Along with the continued smooth, fun gameplay that keeps the Call of Duty franchise a must-buy year after year, Ghosts multiplayer brings with it new game modes, new weaponry and, most importantly, female characters.

It seems there will be a new Metal Gear game coming this year. Whether it'll be a Ground Zeroes or something completely different is anybody's guess - but you'll be waiting for a long time for The Phantom Pain either way.

How would you feel about picking up more or less every single major EA game from the last seven years for next to nothing? Well, today is the day. The latest Humble Bundle is all about EA and includes everything from Dead Space 3 to Mirror's Edge. That's if you pay a dollar. Aim a little higher and you'll get The Sims 3 and a couple of expansions, plus Battlefield 3.

The original Epic Mickey was fairly well received when it was released on the Wii in 2010. It was well received enough that its sequel, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, was released across four different platforms. Despite very average reviews and disappointing sales, The Power of Two still managed to make it to the PlayStation Vita late last month. While it's most likely the best version of Mickey's adventure through Wasteland, that's not really saying much. ...

It isn't often that you hear how video games can positively impact on your life, because that doesn't sell to the anti-everything crowd. Here's a story that's positively heart warming, and one that could and should serve as an inspiration to countless others. Nintendo's Wii Fit has often been used as a joke amongst the hardcore crowd, but the proof is out there that it works, and that it works well.

Dubai, like many places in the east, is a city of opposites. Wholly modern but with tradition and history spanning millennia, it's one of those places that almost everybody has heard of, but many wouldn't be able to place on a map. It's a beautiful city but one that is often understood (partly thanks to strict control of their image), and that's partly why the developers behind Dubai Delivery decided to make their game. On some levels they succeed in ...

Motorbike games have always been a part of video gaming culture. Go back to the early days of SEGA and Nintendo and you'll see countless attempts at bringing those two-wheeled speed demons to the digital realm. This has kind of dropped off in recent years as developers would rather show off pretty cars with high end labels. MotoGP 13 proves that there are still games out there for people that want their motorbike fix, offering high speeds, realistic physics ...
