An update posted to the Team Fortress 2 blog teases "something brand new" for Valve's free-to-play online shooter. No word yet on what it is, but Valve did say it wasn't a hat, and it wasn't a new map. Could it be a new class? A new layer to its microtransaction system? Gordon Freeman? Err, sorry about that last guess, I just really miss Half-Life...

If an object on screen hurts your character one moment and then heals your character in the next, this causes confusion -- and confusion rarely works to a game's a...
Who said that epic and expansive fantasy RPGs had to have subpar gameplay? For as much as I absolutely adore games like Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2 and Skyrim, gameplay in those titles simply didn't live up to the amazing standards set by their superb settings, narratives and quest structures. In Fallo...

It is now common practice for Electronic Arts (EA) to include an online pass in new copies of its games that must be activated in order to access online features. However, Syndicate, which EA will publish later this month, will arrive free of any online pass. A producer at EA tells Eurogamer that the online co-op in Syndicate is equal in substance to the single-player campaign and everyone should have access to the entire game...

According to Team Ninja developer Yosuke Hayashi, this is especially true of Nintendo's new home console, Wii U.
