The PlayStation 3 version of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas by Ubisoft has been generally well-received by fans and critics alike. If you're still thinking about whether to get this title or not, maybe this lengthy gameplay video can help you decide. Have a peek:


As you probably know by now, Rainbow Six: Vegas allows you to lace up your combat shoes as a member of the world's most elite anti-terrorist unit. When the bad guys threaten a city that attracts 37 million tourists a year, you know you have to be there to round them up.

The game takes you to different locales in Sin City where you track down terrorists and neutralize them by surgically making their bodies a foster home for lead. We all know they won't take invitations to go downtown, so what's a guy to do? If you're looking for action, this game is armed to the hilt.

Big man Yoichi Wada stated a while back that Dragon Quest remakes were bound to come before Dragon Quest IX's grand outing to the DS. Plenty of Japanese gamers probably blew their heads off just thinking about the games they lined up for during childhood days being remastered on next-gen consoles. Unfortunately for them, Square Enix CEO is taking his statements back - there are no remakes prior to DQIX's release.

Apparently, such statement caused him all sorts of trouble. Whether because he spilled the beans when he wasn't supposed to, or SE's head honcho was somehow misinformed, we do not know.

That's not the only shocking revelation he gave. During the same meeting, he also mentioned that "although we are proceeding with FFXIII for the PS3, that doesn't mean we won't be able to to use it on other [platforms]." It's no secret that FFXIII Agito will reach mobile phones, but can this mean something else?

These days, GameStop has a lot of reasons to celebrate. It's working on an industry that's growing every day, it's posting some serious numbers financially, and has recently opened its 1,000th store outside of the US.

The Texas-based game and console retailer has opened new stores recently in Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Norway to hit the thousand-store milestone. Prior to that, the company has already branched out to Ireland, Switzerland, Australia, Guam, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

GameStop points to the booming hardware sales led by Kyoto-based Nintendo with its DS handheld and Wii console. Microsoft and Sony are also pitching in with the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, respectively.

Total sales posted by the retailer last year amounted to US 5.32 billion and is expected to grow even more this year as hot demand continues for pole platforms. The first quarter of fiscal 2007 saw GameStop with ...

 
Insomniac Games is not all about Church of England controversies and we know it. The dev team behind smash hits Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction and Resistance: Fall of Man have already been crowned one of the best companies to work for in America, and they've done it again this year.

Games Industry reports that the company made it to the "50 Best Small & Medium Sized Companies to Work for in America." Already on its 59th run, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) continues the search for companies with the best workplaces to offer.

The guys behind some of our favorite games aren't new to this, having been on the small business category's top 10 for three years in a row - a feat nobody else have done before. This time they ended at the 8th spot. If that's not amazing enough, Insomniac Games is also the first and only video game development company to ever share this spotlight.

Insomniac Games founder and CEO Ted Price gave...

Baseball fans who are looking for something a little bit out of the usual will be happy to know that 2K Sports has announced the release of The BIGS, a title which isn't afraid to sacrifice realism in order to spice up the gameplay to make the game as appealing as possible to a wider demographic.

Players will actually use these mini-games to hone the skills of created ballplayers to get them ready for stardom.

When you start a season, you can play for a regular team with its default roster or create a rookie which you must guide throughout his career. If you stay focused and dedicated to your craft, stats and skills will be yours for the taking, allowing you to compete with the best of the league and contend for the World Serie...

Just one look at this new cinematic trailer for the upcoming PS3 title The Eye of Judgement and you'll immediately discover that this game is head and shoulders above the typical card-based games released on any video game console year after year.

The Eye of Judgment combines beautiful graphics and a unique card-based battle system that uses the PlayStation Eye accessory. Through the PlayStation Eye, the game recognizes the cards that players put down on a table. Each card is associated with a different monster, which in turn is given a 3D representation on-screen.

Moving the cards move the on-screen monsters as well, and when players move their cards towards another card, all hell breaks loose and the monsters duke it out on-screen. For a better idea of how The Eye of Judgment plays, check out the vid below.

PSU has a comparison chart showing the exclusive titles coming out for the 360, Wii, and PS3. It made me think two things: 1. I’m glad I have a PS3. Most of the exclusives (with a few rare exceptions) on other platforms don’t interest me as much as the PS3 exclusives. Which is why I bought [...]
